HERE COMES THE SUN

The Ultimate Outdoor Planting Guide

Fri, Apr 14, 2006 2:26 pm

more: grow articles, outdoor, june 2006, jorge cervantes, beginners guide

By Jorge Cervantes

June is the traditional month to plant outdoor flower and vegetable gardens in North America. This is also true for cannabis. Most of the same general principles apply when planting a flower, vegetable or cannabis garden, except for one important thing—a marijuana garden must not be found by thieves, snitches or law enforcement! Choosing the correct site for a clandestine pot patch is paramount to its success. Outdoors, everything hinges on the location of the garden—including the strains you grow, the strategy you pursue and the overall risk you assume.

SECURITY
When visiting your guerrilla patch, always carry some sort of a prop to prove you have a reason to be in the area. If it’s fishing season, bring a valid fishing license and a fishing pole. If it’s bird-watching season, bring binoculars and a guidebook. Bring your dog so that you can say you’re taking him out for a stroll in the woods. Have a ready-made story for everything. You never know whom you’ll run into.

Always keep the amount of incriminating evidence you’re carrying to a minimum. Bring things up to the patch and don’t bring them back. Use only what you need up there. If you take digital photos of your patch, put the images on a separate disk that you can hide or destroy. Don’t take any chances.

Always take several different paths to the same marijuana patch. Leave no trails and don’t be discovered. Some growers even go so far as to put duct tape on the bottoms of their shoes so that their footprints can’t be tracked back to them.

Travel up to the patch late in the day. Most people are coming down out of the forest or countryside in the late afternoon. Going against their rhythm gives you more solitary time. You can also return under the cloak of darkness if you’re leaving with incriminating material.

You can grow plants in pots or in the ground. Plants in the ground can’t be moved easily, while potted plants can. Grow bags are the easiest containers to pack into your garden. Camouflage covers for pots are also available.

Growing small plants indoors and moving them outdoors later increases the survival rate immensely. Start small clones in deep containers that allow for strong growth. A deep root system will carry them into the next stage of growth in their new environment. Make sure all clones and seedlings have plenty of roots before transplanting. You can also remove the bottom few leaves on a transplant and plant it so the remaining bottom leaves are an inch above ground. The subterranean stem will sprout roots, and a deeper root system will supply moisture more readily.

Grow clones in small containers that are easy to transport and stack in a backpack. You’ll be amazed how well plants fare wrapped in paper inside a backpack. The key is to transplant many small clones. The clones can be a little bigger if they’re flowering.

Female clones yield smaller plants, but they’re easier to deal with and to flower than plants grown from seed. Transplanting female clones means you’ll harvest an all-female crop of buds. Seedlings have “hybrid vigor,” which means they will grow 25 percent bigger and quicker than clones, but half will be male. Feminized seedlings are also an option. They’re expensive, so each time one of them gets nicked, it’s financially painful.

Once big enough to transplant, little clones must be hardened off. They have to be tough enough to survive in a harsh outdoor climate. Spindly, weak growth and supple leaves make plants easy prey for pests and disease, not to mention the wind. Set plants outdoors for an hour the first day, two hours the second day, and by the end of seven days the plants should be outdoors eight to 12 hours a day. The gradual introduction to their new climate will make them grow faster when transplanted.

Whats all this about a male flowering? Ive got a couple that are 5 weeks old, are about 2 ft. tall and where the leaves come off the stalk there are another set of leaves growing. They dont look like flowers and there are no pollen nodgles growing off of them. It started out as two hairs but then sprouted into its own branch. Is this good or is it a male? I need input on whether to cut them or not. Please help!!

Binky Its my first attempt 2 grow and I have sum really good starts. About 2 ft. high and 4 wks old. The tops have 7 leaves. Stupid question but I NEED to know. How can u tell male from female at this age? The branches are sprouting out new branches form the stalk. Ive heard thats a male attribute? But 7 leaves are female! Please help!!

WHAT YOU THINK...............tHE PLANTS BUD POTENCY depends on alot of things.People ask me that all the time.I have the same answer to,a plant will always be excellent bud UNLESS he/she does an absoluty horrible growing job .I remember one time i took a seed from some weed that was grown without any care and grew it into a wonderful $380 ounce herb.

Dude.....

Jul 23 2007, 9:19 am

Yes, they can detect out of helicopters or small planes. They use thermal imaging to find heat sources in area's that otherwise wouldn't normally have "heat". Certain plants give off the same amount or more heat as a decent plnt (I.E. Cane, tommatoes...so on and so forth). Don't worry guess what....thermal imaging has drawbacks. You can only see what's hot and you can't tell anything about the detail of what your looking at besides sillohette and shape.

I would think two to 3 ounces if they flower well, if it smells musty, keep an eye out for bud rot, a dehumidifier may be in order.

but back to the ttopic does this apply to california its still sunny man and i havent got buds yet

Binky

Oct 16 2006, 5:12 pm

It doesnt look good. If you want to save the plant after harvest you try to leave some leaf on to give it energy to regenerate.

frank

Oct 15 2006, 8:04 pm

look like a stick in a bucket no leaves

Binky

Oct 15 2006, 2:08 pm

It may, depends on how many leaves are left anh how bad it was butchered

Sep 25 2006, 8:30 pm

binky, you seem like the most knowledgable person here. i have a 18" plnt that is bushy, it has about 8 branches, all around 7 inches, some a little longer or shorter, how much marijuana, in your opinion, do you think will be harvested if all goes well and it is a decent plant?

dollabill

Sep 25 2006, 4:18 pm

so, a good ratio of the hairs on my plant have turned color, and some of the leaves are starting to burnout/turn yellow. Should i harvest them now, or can i still take steps to increase the bud density? -oh, the plants have been grown in pots, outdoor and are moved indoor at night for safety.

johny hardup

Sep 24 2006, 3:16 pm

one more thing. whats a typical yeild per plant? i know that all strains are different and some yeild more than others. i think they are sativa just looking for a round about per plant. more or less to know if i did it right or if there is room for improvement

johny hardup

Sep 24 2006, 3:11 pm

thanx mad & binky. there in buckets now so transplanting is no prob but is there any specific way to harvest so that the buds will come back in a few months or just cut them off? i got a good strain and would like to keep them going for generations to come.

Binky

Sep 24 2006, 1:49 pm

I dont know what the grammer king is talking about, I start clones inside and put out, thay all live. And yes u can take a plant in during the fall, just have to be careful transplanting.

Blaize

Sep 23 2006, 1:17 am

Just like if you take a clone that was grown indoors and try and start it at the start of the year which i have tried i give it a 50/50% chance of doing anything worth harvesting

oh, and missy, when the big leaves are dying, most of the hairs have changed color,and the buds have big crystals, the time is nigh.

Binky

Sep 20 2006, 7:29 pm

Grower, the strong sun and growth stage may be done and flowering is happening, dont no where u are. Or, u may have an indica which is short anyways. Without knowing what u are growing, where u are, when u planted, if u have full sun, if the site is dry, no one can tell u shit. Growing well means getting all those things right.

Binky

Sep 13 2006, 8:52 pm

Hetti what u prob have is fungus gnats. I hear that sulphur burners work, and there are natural solutions too. I have not had to deal with them. All you guys should read the grow sites here by the pros, they have all the answers already.

Binky

Sep 13 2006, 8:49 pm

Sounds like harvest time is hee. Are the buds large, and have most of the hairs turned colour? Are the fan leaves dying and the crystals swollen? They may be ready if u are north and they r an early strain. Bud rot occurs with rain, humidity and cool temps, and some strains are more suceptible than others. Cut out any rot and discard, dont smoke it. Cutting out will help, but if it doesnt get dryer things will go down hill. good luck.

hetti

Sep 13 2006, 8:46 pm

Sep 13 2006, 7:49 pm

Binky, I went back up the mountain and checked and from yesterday to today the biggest bud is rotten. It seems to have spread to 1 other bud, any clue?

Binky

Sep 13 2006, 7:35 pm

Oh yea, tim a light will do nothing to sprout seeds except provide warmth which u should have lots of now. Turn them on when sprouts appear, before that is just wasting energy and prodicing unneeded light.

Binky

Sep 13 2006, 7:29 pm

Tim, rain water is h20 with pollen, pollutants and other things it picks up after it precipitates into rain and falls, and really has little in the way of nutrients. Well water or river water does have some calcium and other nutrients but at low levels. So, it really doesnt matter much. The best thing u can do is feed them right, give them adequate rooting space, lots of good quality light and provide ventilation if indoors.
Stumped, put a peice of white paper under your plants, shake them and rub the paper, if there are mites there will be streaks as u spread the little fuck faces into the paper. Or, look with a mag glass, u will see them. They leave little spots on the leaves as their sucking peircing mouthparts draw fluid out. I have heard that neem oil works well, or u can use a 1 part dishsoap to 40 parts water solution, fully soaking the plants and then rinsing after 10 mins with water, 3 times in 2 weeks. How big r your plants and at what stage of budding?

Stumped

Sep 13 2006, 6:36 pm

Binky, All my plants are outside, I know i am not over feeding, if i was to guess the spiders sound more like it. anyway to get ready of them without hurting taste?

Tim

Sep 13 2006, 6:03 pm

is rain water better for plants than regular tap water b/c it carries nutrients?

tim

Sep 13 2006, 5:40 pm

thanks Binky..

Binky

Sep 13 2006, 5:38 pm

Tim, the work light is probably hps, and will work but is prob. on the small side. Seeds will take 4 to 12 days to germinate depending on moisture, temp and seed quality.
Hetti, home depot probably could tell you, but i would go buy the proper gear if u are gonna grow. The switch from floro to hps wont hurt.
Stumped, either u are over watering, over feeding(a big no no) or have spider mites. Take a lens and look. If u are overwatering u should flush the soil with LOTS of water.
SCC, hang plants in a dark dry place with ventilation until the stens snap when bent. Clip all leaves off, store in freezer to maintain taste and freshness.

tim

ok, the bulb in the street light is burnt out, if i was to bring it to a home depot would somebody there be able to tell me what type of bulb it is, because there is no writing on the bulb or the fixture. and would the switch from fluorescent to mh or hps kill plants that are still in veg. growth state?

tim

Sep 12 2006, 5:38 pm

ok i have it in the cuboard with a garage work light will that light work or not

Binky

Sep 12 2006, 5:19 pm

It is probably a hps or metal halide 200 or something close, good for growing. If it is a street light it may very well be 220v, meaning it needs a dryer type outlet and wiring. It may be 110v(household). Plug it in and try it, it may work, work dimly if 220 or blow a fuse.

Binky

Sep 12 2006, 5:16 pm

It will be ok for a day or 2, but will die after too long.

There is a Street Light in one of my dad's sheds and he knows im growing, so i guess what i am asking is if anybody knows if that would do the job, and if it would do the job would there be a significant difference on the electric bill?

Sep 12 2006, 1:01 pm

A node is the juntion of a stem and a leaf, more properly known as an axil. It is from this point that a new shoot will energe when a plant is topped, or has sufficient roots to support new vegatative growth.
Stumped, sorry to hear bout your luck. I am educated in biology and other sciences, but do not claim to know enough about the human dynamic to say why the herb gives you relief, but am glad is does for you as it does for many others. I may guess that it relaxes your state of mind and maybe muscular tension, but that would make me sound like a big old smelly hippy. Giggle

Binky, If you remember from past questions I am not very young. The thing is went to the doctor around 4 months ago and he informed me I had from 6 moths to 2 years left. I have already had cancer and my lungs are shot COPD along with a few other problems. I retired in 2001, and find that smoking weed helps me breath alot easier, is there a reason behind that? Thanks again.

Stumped

Sep 11 2006, 8:29 pm

I read the other night that if you mix dark pure cane sugar until it is all disolved and add to your soil it will add extra sugars to the weed and make it even better tasting. I sthere anything to this? To late this season but there is always next.

I found a grow lamp that was my dads, its about 10 years old, and i also had a black light and i took the black lightbulb out, and went to homedepot, im not sure if u have one of them around, but any store that carries fluorescent lights should have one that can be used for growing, anyways i took the black light out and replaced it w/ the same sized bulb of a grow light and it works great. windowsill is probly ur best bet.

tim

Sep 11 2006, 6:57 pm

thanks binky so should i jus strt them outside since i dont have a grow light how much do they cost and where can i get them

Binky

Sep 11 2006, 6:53 pm

Unless u use a grow light, your plants will be weak and spindly, a good window will do a better job than ordinary incandescent bulbs. Miracle grow will work, but there are better ferts. out there. Use it at half strngth until the plants are 10 inches tall or so, as they are sensitive when young. Sorry,i live in the north, but do suspect your plants will bloom quickly because they will be getting a substantial dark period.

tim

oh shit my bad binky i already asked about paper towel..

jus ignore it lol

BINKY...i have a question for u "hetti" has been helping me out but it seems like every 1 says u r the pro so i need some help i was planing on useing artifical light until my plants sprought and thna grow to be about 3 to 4 inches than i was going move them outside b/c i live in flordia and we have sun all year around but i was going leave them in pots outside but should i try to do the paper towel method or shold i jus put them in soil in the pots and hope for the best

tim

Sep 11 2006, 6:14 pm

yaa my plants are in pots and im useing the mirical potting soil. but yeaa u r right with the hotness all year round but hopefully binky will read one of my questions and let me no..but i was going to use artifical light till it is about 3 or 4 inches in my room b/c i cnat relle hide it to much or long enough..but i had a chest and i put to light bulps in there and its pretty bright so do u think it will get them to grow..and i dont no if i asked u this already but hsould i jus start them seed in soil or do that paper towel method..

hetti

Sep 11 2006, 6:07 pm

i live in the northeast, and it is too late to grow outside. since florida is warmer than it is here all year round you are probably safe, however i would consult more of an expert; ie binky. Your plants will die if you fertilize too much, and will they be in a pot or in the soil? if in a pot, you must be more careful with the fertilizing amount because too much fertilizer=acidic soil, but i would say go by the directions that come w/ the fertilizer. I use miracle grow, however my plants are in pots, and im using artificial light, and what i do is i take 1 gallon of water and mix a very very low dosage of fertilizer into it, like 1/7 of the recomended amount. If you are using artificial lights you can leave them on 24/7 until the plants are where you want them to be, height and width wise for budding. i hope i answered your questions.

tim

thanks hetti is it to late to start growing outside and do i ahve to do that 12 hour in light adn 12 dark for it to grow

hetti

Sep 11 2006, 4:49 pm

tim, from my experience, sprouting times will vary, but to keep it safe, five days or so sounds right to me. I'm relatively new to growing also, so what i did is i planted about 10 seeds and 8 of them came up. over time some plants died. I would plant more than 3 because you dont know how many are actually going to sprout, and you dont know that each seedling will live. Just to be safe i'd say plant more seeds.

Sep 11 2006, 6:47 am

"binky" how many days should it take to sprout about 3 if i water 2 times a day and use the 6-6-6.

yup leaves will cure the same way, but that nasty> Giggle.
Tim u cant tell sex at seed stage, plant them in pots and keep soil very moist(not soaked) water twice a day until they sprout. Then let soil dry and water as needed, too much will rot plants, soil should dry, be re wetted, dry and so on. Fuck the paper towel shit, feed weak 666 to start, increasing as they grow. 10 30 10 is for bloom. That will get u started

Binky, Years ago about all a person ever got from home grown was leaves. If you got flowers in a bag you thought it was geat shit. The question is can you cure leaves like your buds?

No prob man, the ones with pollen are male and will get u high, but are nasty compared to good female flower. Keep trying and reading.

Binky, sorry about builds, I meant buds but never claimed to be very bright. by the way you said some time ago I should go to the q/a section about that 3 stem plant. I did as you said but found nothing about 3 stems from 1 stalk. however after I set it out 2 stems died but the trird looks great but it is really dark green, but covered with buds (not builds)I think I might try and it 1 with pollen just in case it is some good shit. Thanks for all your help!

Stumped

Sep 6 2006, 12:01 am

Binky, Jazy asked you the same question i was going to, except I have 1 other, I live on the VA, W VA, TN, KY boder. the soil has been dozed and I have to build the soil to get anything to grow. The stuff that is left are only around 2.5 feet tall, they are covered with builds but are already starting to bloom. Are they about ready?

Binky

Sep 5 2006, 6:03 pm

yup floro will work with hydro, just not as fast or strong.
Plants ready when two thirds of the trichomes have swollen heads, look like little mushrooms, use a hand lens to see. Or, when two thirds of hairs have changed from white to red, meaning they are no longer able to be fertilised.

Yes the plants are big enough to bud, and floros will work, but will take longer and not bud as large. Make sure u feed 10 30 10 or something similar.

I can't check my crop all the time, due to the placement of the plants. I went up a short time ago and thought I got rid of all the males. I went back up the other day and I found other males that are already blooming. Is it to late to keep the females from going to seed. the females are already starting to bud. Please help me out on this one.

Aug 23 2006, 8:06 pm

In order to get a fairly decent yeild off a plant in the 4 foot tall range you should begin "topping" your plant anytime after about the 7th node.. this will allow an extra top everytime you pinch one off.In the end you should be left with a very thick bushy plant with several top colas depending how many times youve "topped" it.AND MaritimeGrower.. sorry to tell you "Scoot" is an animal repellant for deer an other such pests its not used as a fertillizer.

need some info on what to do with male plants.i have about 12 plants an' half are males.they are jus' stating to flower. what should i do ?

Binky

Aug 19 2006, 2:40 pm

I would just make sure that u are not girdling the plants with the line as it is so thin. I use a thicker green cord, but whatever works for u. You must have a later flowering strain, as many are in mid bud now, but i have some that are just starting as well. I would wait until flowering is complete, sometimes until frost for later varities. late season mold is a risk, especially after frost hits. If u dont have a good drying spot(smell can be intense with numerous plants) you can put them into the freezer and dry at your leisure. Good luck.

water them every other day and give them some fertilizeruse about half of what it's on the lable a little more if there in the ground and you might want to put them in a bigger pot like 2 gal and when they start to bud swich to a bloom fertilizer. stop fertilizeing after 6 weeks of budding and pick after 9. after picking put ina dry dark places for about a week, when the stem brake put them in a jar for for a few weeks open the jar once a day 10 to 30 min and enjoy!

Jul 30 2006, 1:02 am

hey bluntman,
naa it would not be bad to take your plant inside.just make sure you got a good light system to keep her growing.as far as buding out door plants will bud on there own when it gets cooler out and the light goes to 12/12. 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark.inside plants can be made to bud by give your plant 12/12.you can start her flowering by giveing the plant 24 hours of dark before you go 12/12.but be careful make sure your plant gets used to the light before you try to flower your plant.it may not like the light change at first.
if you need more help there is uselly someone around to help.happy growin dude good luck.AND STAY SAFE!!

MADTOWN

Jul 29 2006, 3:02 pm

yo dr.green thumb,
you might have to change the light and put the plants on 12/12 so they can bud.it wont bud on its own you'll have to make it bud your self
try putting it in a dark room for a hole day before you try budding your plants.
I've heard a lot of peeps say
it will help start the plant flowering!!look into growing indoors .abook or some shit
like that.TRUST ME GROWING OUTSIDE AINT THE SAME AS INDOORS.IT TAKES A BIT MORE

Your not fucked, but that dosent its there peak potency. It could be because ther is a lack of nutrents witch would slow groth, but if you dont belive me about it there is an article in here about it. Click on list all, under grow articles and check out the article called amber alert. It can be alittle diffrent when your growing out doors but let me know what you think?

miracle grow for tomatoes will turn hair red prematurely.ha,ha,ha,

Jun 14 2006, 6:02 pm

He said that 70% of hairs were red, if the whole pistle was red, it means it has outlived its reproductive viability and has aborted, if it was not producing new hairs, then it was finished or really stressed. Unless u are somewhere other than north america and u are doing outdoor, the season is just getting gowing. Am I fucked or not?

The buds wernt ripe yet. Get a good magnefing glass and wate untill the thc glands all have big round balls of resin at the top of them and some of them are starting to turn amber or cloud over. That is when they are at there peak potency. Its worth the wate!

Sounds like a lack of light, water and or fert. Remove shading vegetation, water and feed 10 30 10 or something higher in p to promote blooming.

Jun 14 2006, 10:57 am

i harvested one of my plants when 70% of the pistons were red but wheres the bud at? its like my plant never produced any at all just plenty of hairs and light resin. i have another one still outside, what should i do different to not get this stringy crap im about to try and smoke?

I wouldnt worry about the .02 og a gram of hormone, it contains ingredients found naturally in plants, they produce more when attempting to root, you are just supplementing. Yea nasty fert taste is rude, I never have had it in my own, but I don't overdo it. I rant all the time about fertiliser, N P K are elements mined out of the ground, and are chemically identical to those that are accumulated in naturally based fertiliser, which obtained those elements through soil uptake somewhere along the chain. Natural is not always safe, people burn the piss out of all kinds of plants with too much manure, especially chicken. And yeah, I have had plants top 9 feet with over a pound plus each, most recieved about a cup of refined fert over a 4 month period, and tasted just lovely.

haha! pritty good dank

???????

Jun 12 2006, 5:34 am

there is a bunch of warnings on it that say dont ingest, call poison controll. I dont think it would be too healthey to smoke. I thought maybe there was one out there thats safe to use on fruits and vegtables. Seedling grow like 30-40% bigger anyway. There is nothing wrong with a little nutrient supplementaion. I just dont like tasting fertilizer in my chronic and knowing Im not going to half to go to the hospitol. Know what I mean.... so you grow some pritty dank outside?

An organic rooting hormone?
Holy fuck, if it matters that much dont use any, most will still root. Fuckin"organic" pisses me off. Just cause it is"natural" whatever the fuck that is, doesnt mean it is safe or better. Opium, castor beans and cyanide are "natural". What specifically is wrong with "inorganic" rooting hormone. Fuckin hippies. Giggle.

anybody know a good organic rooting agent for cloneing?

by the way i have never had any luck in the past with budding, the law really checks not only on foot but also from the air. last year i thought i had it made but due to the amount of law i had to get rid of them.

Jun 10 2006, 8:50 pm

i thank all of you tthat answered about the round leave 3 stem plant, i think i may let it grow and see what happens. who knows it may yeild 3 times the amount and could be good, if not really i'm not out anything.i have not seperated my seeds in the past so it could have come from anything from hydro to who knows.

Binky

Jun 10 2006, 3:52 pm

A chemical called scoot(thiram) is a bittering agent to use before budding. I dont have a prob myself though. Pissing doesent hurt as well.

Jun 10 2006, 3:26 pm

Binky, thanks. what about pest control?

Binky

Jun 10 2006, 11:16 am

I select soil that is naturally moist(not wet) which is usually on a rivers flood plain, meaning no trees to shade it, and a water source for the occasional watering. I dig holes deep and wide1.5 to 2 feet, and mix half a cup of fert(higher N for size growth) prior to planting. Make sure they get lots of south sun.

whats some more outdoor tips do you just plant in the ground or what? If you do what kind of quality is it and what kind of strains do you use?

best cronic

Jun 10 2006, 12:13 am

most dank is geneticaly tampered with and lots of stuff happens like that. I wouldent breed it though the same thing will probably happen to some of the offspring.

one of my plants from seed came up looking like a weed, no pun intended, but the leaves are round, i let it grow and the single stem split into 3 stems, now the leaves are looking like they should, i have never seen anything like this before. any help out there?

They must be way too shaded, what was the light like, and how tall did they get?

ok what do i do if my plants flower b.c i never had one do that....all of them just grow never flower never bud

Binky

Jun 9 2006, 4:14 pm

Your plants need full sunlight, preferably south. That means plant in the nirth end of an opening. Use a higher N fert (10 5 6) or something close for vegatative(size) growth and when they start to show sex change to 10 30 10 or something with a high p number(phosphorous). Kill all males unless u are looking for seed. If u leave males alone the entire bud will be polluted with seed, and yield of smokable will be very disapointing.

Jun 9 2006, 10:42 am

what kind of fert should i use....for some reson no plants flower that we have grow like no pollin pods or nuttin just big bush no bud thanks for the help binky.....and if it dose flower and pollin what do i do?

Binky

Jun 8 2006, 12:48 pm

Hard to say what that plant will be, half its genetics are unknow, the fathers half that is. Weird that it didn't flower, it must have to some degree or it would have no seed. Make sure light is adequate and fert with a higher p fert, 10 30 10 or something.

it depends on what your trying to do.yes, if you cut the main stem slighty above the fourth set of leaves,with a clean razor two br. will emerge from above those leaves.but I dont like to do this does not serve my purpose as a pumpkin grower.
