Hi ya'll

I am going to be growing outdoors in Northern Texas... Hot Dry Humid... I am not sure what strain to go with as it is so Hot and Windy here. Does any one have any good recomendations? any good tips once i get the seeds... im gonna try and get this all going within 7 days and have the seeds in the ground. Anytips or anything would be great... Thanks

you can plant pretty much any strain...they all have the same needs. water is the key for success in the desert and you'll need to water at least twice/day for 20-30 minutes or so, depending on your watering system (i use flat sprinkler hose double-looped around each plant). i'm in the sonoran desert and they take water 20 mins 3x/day, every day and are doing very well...but may need longer watering times as the temps increase (we're already hitting 100+ every day now).

and altho as much light as possible is best, they don't need full direct sunlight all day. many of us grow ours under and up thru mesquite trees (they blend in very well too!) where they are shaded for a good part of the day. but a strong indirect sunlight is a good idea so keep your tree trimmed so as much light as possible gets in without giving away its location.

if planting seeds direct into the ground or are moving seedlings from indoors to out they'll need something to protect them thru seedling stage...we use aluminmum cans with both ends cut off and the can is pressed into the ground with the seed site or seedling centered inside the open can. this will keep leaf-cutters off of the tender shoots and discourage rodents until the plants grow their 'bark'...

good luck

Interesting to hear how they do some grow tips in Texas. I like the idea of the mesquite trees...I use that stuff for charcoal. good shit for BBQ.
Celtic.

Keep us posted and let us know how they turn out.

I live in Texas also... what kind of seeds are you going to be planting? Im new to outdoor planting so tell me how yours went and what worked best

Howdy,

I live in a dry area of Hawaii. It will not get as hot here but the wind dryness are similar. So anyway, after doing some reading about several strains (plus I am a medical patient so I was looking for a strong strain as well) I went with Pure Power Plant and I got the seeds from Nirvana. I will let you know how they do as they do. I will probably get them sexed, potted and outdoors by mid December.
There is a guy in Australia that made a video called "A Growers Lot" check the first part out on you tube at:


He grows a mostly Sativa strain that looks to do well in the wind and sun. It is a funny informative film more directed at the commercial grower but useful tips for everyone. Plus, he sells his seeds for a $1 Aussie each in 50 seed lots which is a great deal as well. If you do email him about his seeds tell him the guy from the big island sent you.

HEy everyone

i live in the north island of new zealand
i was wondering does any1 knows if weed plants are:
salt tolerent
what ph should the soil be

this is my first grow op
any help would do

peace

heyy. soil ph should be 7 or close to 7. As with most living things, marijuana requires salt, but too much causes dehydration. I dont really know any specific ammount of salt resistance but you cant be watering with ocean water if that was your thinking.

lol yeah id think ocean water would be a bad idea. i think that i need to check on some different seed banks. the one i ordered from this last time sent me northern lights that are sposed to be able to grow in many different conditions. but germing techniques aren't working on these seeds!
