Need some help from someone that knows what they are doing

If i germinate my seeds and put them directly into the ground outside in the woods where i plan on growing them, Will they grow ok?

I figure since all plants were outside to begin with it would right?
When i read on here there is always someone talking about ph levels, nutrients and everything else. I wanna germinate and plant, then come back every 2 days or day and water with some spring water. Thats pretty much it. Will it grow? Where my spot is there is a bunch of green plant life already so the soil can sustain life. Any tips?

The success rate for putting them directly in the ground is much less than starting them inside, even in a windowsill. But yes, it works the same. You will probably be fine without testing all the levels, they will want some nutrients though. Whether it be chemical fertilizers (not recommended), organic fertilizers, or even animal dung (not carnivorous animals). You also may want to dig a 3x3 hole, even if you're gonna fill it with what was already there, it'll make the roots grow easier. Good luck.

Hopefully the dirt you planted it in drains water well or the seedlings might die, unless you live in a dry area

Ok if i start them inside in a window sill, Can i use cheap ass potting soit, throw in a little perlite, and as soon as they sprout above the dirt move them on up there? Like when they are an inch or 2 high?

Yeah should be ok just dont use any soil that has alot of ferts in it. if you can throw in some worm castings

Yeah, they'll still die easier than established plants, and animals love young, supple plants. But that will give you better results.

Cool cool, I got the animals taken care of. Where my plants are going, animals wouldnt even try to get there. They would need thumbs lol

Also, Thanks everyone for your replies

Word, good luck man.

use chicken wire, cas critters can get to everywhere if they want ! use it as long as u feel they be tough enough to handle themselves without the wire

All it takes is one rabbit.

outdoor from seed. the old fuckin school way!-

firstly, as in real estate, location is everything. i won't even begin on that.

as far as starting them outdoors, i typically figure 8 or 10X the amount of plants i want to bloom.
half will die.
half will get eaten by bugs and animals.
half will be males.


good luck. happy growing
