SouthEast Guerrila Grow!!!

Alright i'm a total newbie that has been researching for a few months and will be starting some outdoor grows this upcoming growing season

First of all I live in the SouthEast U.S.A. so when would be the most optimal time to start a guerilla grow outdoors?

Some people have mentioned starting seedlings indoors and then introducing them into the outdoors...is this absolutely necessary? Pro's...con's??

Its somewhat of a toughie trying to decide where i'm gonna get some plants growing...There is a really old lady I do summer yardwork for that might be willing to let me grow some plants in her backyard in exchange for free yardwork. She's got tons of privacy..easy access to water...tons of garden tools and such. Nobody will mess with her yard or hopefully discover anything.

Also I want to do some lowryder because of the short flowering time but I also wanna try a good outdoor strain...Maybe something purple or at least good for outdoor guerrila growing considering i'm a newbie.

I kinda wanna dig up some dirt and replace it with the right ph soil and then plant straight into the soil.

Or should I just dig up enough space to put in ready pots and just cover them up to not be so visible.

Help Help Help any suggestions? Comments? I'll follow up as much as I can and then with future pics once I get everything going.

One thing at a time. In the South, you have the luxury of all the sunlight, plus more, than you need. The question is, do you want 6 ozs per plant, or 6 lbs per plant? Also, once somebody knows about you Baby, your freedom is served on a silver platter, in the palm of their hand. If he or she gets pissed one day out of 7 months, Bye-bye. Prison time. If you can get 2 ft. plants out in April, they have 2 months growing head start.. ie; 4 lbs VS 7 to 10. It's your call.
