First Outdoor Grow

It's late March right now and I was thinking of growing out doors this spring/summer. I'm using bag seed and I have no previous growing experience. I'm planning on planting about twelve plants in four groups of three. The groups will be in separate areas so if one patch is found I'll have three others.
The seeds aren't feminized so I'm expecting to get about six females and I plan on losing about half the crop because I'm new to growing so In the end I'm hoping to harvest about three plants. I'm thinking of planting on May 10th and harvesting some time in August. How much yield can I expect to get from three plants? Does this sound like a good grow plan? Im open to any tips or ideas.
~Cheers~

sorry man its kinda hard to know when you dont have specifics like strain, location, hours of sun, soil, ext... but just germinate lots of seeds. also i dont think your gonna be harvesting in august if your using bag seeds proabably more like october.

It takes two three months "Indo". Outdoor is a different story.
Ontario growers don't plant before May24 weekend.

Ok... So if I'm understanding this correctly, your trying to space out the grows kind of nearby your house, but in sort of random locations that you can get to once in a while? I would plant around mid May. Are you planning on getting large buckets, making holes in the bottom, filling with soil, planting your germinated seeds and leaving it for a while, checking on occasion? Or were you planning on planting in the ground? Is it going to be in a field? or a wooded area? More details would help. If I were you, get some good soil, and just plant each pack of 3 or 4 differently. I'm trying to help but I dont think I understand your whole scenario.

Try not to grow anywhere that people are spending any amount of time at. A bike trail would not be a good idea, as somone could spot your plants and either steal or destroy them, or worse report them.

You could however go off the bike path far enough that you can not see the plants from the path. That way your atleast somewhat concealed. Remember that when visiting your plants for a check up(watering, etc), never take the same path more than a few times, as you will start to create a path of your own, leading right to your plants. And who knows who or what will start following that path.

and even with that info, unless it is a stable breed, you wont harvest until mid to late September, not august. and try not to walk the same path to them, you will make it to visible to how to find them. and put 4 to 5 per spot, so you will have 2 or 3 females per grouping.

I'm going to be hiding the plants deep in the bush.
It's going to take some careful planning, but I'm willing to put the time and effort in for finding the perfect place for my babies to grow.

An Ottawa boy.. I wish you the very best. I work in Ottawa during the Summer..
I knew a guy that grew some plants in the conroy pit one year everyone and there mother goes there to walk there dogs, and no one found them. So your bike path idea might work. There is tons of places to grow along the Ottawa city bike path.

The bikepath im doing it on has tons of forested areas that people dont normally walk on.
Hopefully my crops wont be discovered and if they do its not on my property so what can they do? Take fingerprints off the leaves? lol.

Remember that smell is a factor as well. Your plants will start wreaking like a skunk, especially in the flowering stage. You have to place you plants a smell free distance from anyone.

I wonder how far most plants smell travel? I bet you could look it up. Maybe there is a god.:joint:
