14. PLANTING OUTDOORS

Outdoor growing has some advantages, such as:

-          No electricity bills.

-         Difficult for police to catch you when guerrilla farming is used (see chapter 15).

-          Sunlight makes plants grow very robust.

-          Also the lower parts of the plants will develop great.

Disadvantages of growing outdoors:

-          Animals eating your crop, like rabbits and snails.

-          All kind of bugs will inhabit them.

-          Wind and rain will attack your little friends.

Some tips:

-          When planting your seeds or clones, make sure that something is used that kills the snails in the area, because they really seem to have an appetite for marijuana.

-          Always plant on the most sunny spot.

-          Make sure the soil is fertile enough, when planting use for instance cow or horse dung. 

-          Check up on a regular base.

-          Use a plant that is suitable for outdoors growing in your area. Too often I see bad results, like rotten or undeveloped buds, because of the use of an unsuitable strain.

-          Be aware that some plants can grow up to 2.5 meters high when planted in the beginning of Spring.

-          When using a plant like LOWRYDER the whole cycle will only take nine weeks in any season, from seed till harvest ready plant.

-          Make sure there are no male plants in the area that can ruin your crop completely.
