Hey RIU

Planning on doing a grow this summer here, but i'm not entirely too sure how to go about it. I have like 30 bag seeds, but i'm pretty hesitant about using them cuz i don't want hermies or anything. It wasn't really that great of weed, but maybe it's cuz there was so many seeds in it?

I'm thinking about buying 5 or 10 seeds from a seedbank, which will be my headstash of course :), just so i have piece of mind and faith that they'll be healthy and good strong females. I just need some knowledge on strains and methods of growing in short seasons.

first frost is supposed to be sept 10, and last frost is supposed to may 21--so i need a strain that finishes really fuckin early if possible

yes i know autoflowering strains are a good option, but i'm looking for a classic outdoor grow, none of that ruderalis this year anyways :)

is it possible for me to start vegging early indoors until the summer solstice and then pop them outside? is there a way to flip them to flower and stay there before i put them outside?


Sorry for all the questions, but i'm a newbie--be patient :)


Peace n love <3

well multiple things really.

essentially i'm asking for some opinions on fast growing indicas, growing season here is from the beginning of june to the beginning of september

which then was kind of leading into the other thing i was wondering--how effective would vegging them inside, then moving them outside to flower?

sorry for not making my question clear enough, hope that helpps

Hey ZeeBuds... I'm kind of in the same boat as you climate wise... recently discovered this posted on here somewhere... but this may be the exact approach you're looking for... best of luck to you!



Harvesting 60 oz of weed in 60 days of outdoor growing.

This method of growing is the fastest way i know of to harvest a good crop without much outdoor exposure. It's cheap in that you only need one female plant and that can come from bag seed, but quality strains are better. Site development is minimal and easy. Its the only way I can grow 12-14 week flowering strains, so I know its the only way anyone north of me can grow long flowering strains, without a greenhouse. This method is not about growing marijuana plants. but instead, just growing marijuan buds using controlled forced flowering

Heres what I do.
In early April,(now), i start my target females. If its a standard strain,I start 5 seeds. This year Im using a femmed strain, so I only planted 2 seeds. By early june, this female plant will be big enough to provide me with 25 clones. I have a little home made aerocloner from walmart materials. I start my 25 clones.

The plan will progress like this: 14 days to root well in the cloner. As soon as they have decent root development, I put them in soil and start 12/12. Within 5 days, i begin to set them outside to harden off and continue the 12/12. Within 10 days im starting to see real flower development and its out to the grow site to be harvested 60 days later , the first week of august. These plants will finish however many days your strain takes to finish minus a week, after you set them out. If that date is the first of july and its a 60 days strain expect to harvest the first of September. If its a 14 week sativa like Kali mist, it will be early october, but without this method, it will be november +.

This is the most critical part. Timing. You must know the date in your area when the clones wont try to reveg. Usually, on a typical october finishing strain, i will see my first flowers at the end of July or by the 1st of August. That date minus 25 days is my FF date.
I am at 38 degrees, and I can set 4" clones that have been forced into flower outside on the first week of july and it won't try to revege. Those 4" clones finish 55-60 days after I set them out
which is the first of August at 20" or so tall, with 2-2.5 oz each of yeild and I have 25 of them. (sativa's may stretch and could reach 4')

No pest problems here, i know of know creature that will try to eat resin producing mj. Before flowering it may be eaten, but not stinky buds.
These 20" plants are very easy to hide. I have a few spots where i have more than 1, but not many. They never get found. Im only outdoors for 60 days and I harvest 5lbs of weed.

I know a grower at 46 degrees that is using this method except that he is now planting almost 100 clones of critical mass and he is harvesting up to 300 oz of weed 55 days later. He plants his clones on July 25, and harvest them in the 2nd week of september. Its a 50 day strain and a branch breaker.

Site development is so easy, because your root ball is going to be small. Heres my site prep. I take a plastic 2 gallon pot like a typical nursery pot. Theyre cheap but you can get them for free from any local landscaper. They throw them away by the dozen.

I fill my 2 gallon pot with soil, whateverkind you use. I then tape a plastic top on it so it wont spill out. This is one site, and during the winter or when I dont have anything to do, i take my posthole diggers out and bury my little ready plant pot. 1 spot ready and 24 to go. When my clone is ready, i will come back, pull off the plastic cover and plant my clone and 6o days after that...

Of course you don't need to use the clone approach and just start with your 10 seeds or whatever.

this is interesting....if i want 5lbs and not want to carry water all summer just plant a few weeks before the typical start of flower and plant 3-4 times the amount of normal then you only have to worry about taking care of them for 55-70days however long you want to flower. Obviously smaller plants are easier to hide and you have less time for bugs and animals to find them. I like it, might do a few normal planting time and then a few more this way see how they turn out.
