well, first YOU need to do research and not let others tell you exactly what to do....just go read on these forums and you will LEARN everything you need to know

im asking about soil and ph cause im a grow outside

Seems like it would be too late to start a crop now. Winter is coming very soon and you're a lot further north. That cold Canadian air will mess up any of your plans for sure. Spend this winter doing lots of research and gathering things for spring. You can do your landscaping before the ground hardens up in the meantime.

Here are some useful links. Some of these are the stickies found in this and other sections of the forum, some go offsite. Lurking is a and searching is a great place to start learning.

If I may be honest, in your location I wouldn't grow outside. If you live with the folks, with others, or in a place where inside growing was impossible, I would just wait until you could move somewhere else. From my limited research it seems more efficient and profitable to farm every season. You would have more control indoors and if you take the proper precautions, you will never have to worry about disease or pests. As it stands now you have to combat weather, soil conditions, climate, sunlight, bugs, animals and your stuff is just out in the open.

yeah im think ing about this spring

Start in the spring - spend the winter reading up on growing.

Best advice you can get!!!!!!!!


J

I'd say start off by collecting any seeds you find in bags until then...store them somewhere dry/dark (like say, a baggie in a drawer) then come back and ask questions - probably best starting off with free seeds even if they're not that good then at least if it goes tits up you can't say you wasted big money experimenting...

how would i keep them portected from animals

You need a fence, you can use chicken wire or some other type of fence that small animals can't squeeze through. Bury it a couple feet into the ground so things can burrow under it. Tall enough so deer or whatever can't reach/hop over it.

See if you can plant garlic with it. The garlic gives your plants natural defense against insects without affecting the smell or taste.

DMZs gotchu covered.

alright thanks how abought soil and how to gt great bud

if you can. spend the winter reading and studying. try growing a few small test plants to get the hang of the stages indoors. just so when spring time comes you have a little hands on experience

It all depends on what is available to you. If you live in a state where the laws are dumb, then cover your tracks. No exceptions. Except this website of course. Also, if you have a nice mailing address where you can receive high-quality seeds, use it. And no, the CIA isn't tracking your mail. Next is size and lights. The most available lights are of course CFL's which I am using. I would recommend a wide spectrum. With a good enough soil, giving nutrients through water may not be necessary. But if you want to do hydro, get ready for a big investment of money and time. Get at least 6" pots and vegetate for at least 2 months.
That is all I know

im going to grow outdoors

I recommend you get some good organic soil like Root's Organic 3 cubic foot bag because it's a grow bag in itself And it's some great soil, like the kind where all you have to do is water with pH adjusted water and possibly add some molasses here and there with some waterings

But really, the links that DMZ posted above are quite helpful. Start reading the FAQ and as many outdoor grow journals as you can to get prepared for spring. You may not be able to learn from you're own experience at this point in the season but you sure as hell can learn through others growing experience. Start studying!
Good luck

Oh sorry I misunderstood.
You will have enough time until next year to perfect your first crop. Read and research like you're going to college.
