How to grow cannabis outdoors

Well indica just means from india and the person who named it did so a long time ago to distinguish psychoactive plants from non psychoactive in adjacent fields,in the old days Indica was considered drug plant and was used for tinctures and they grow narrow and wide leaf in India and make hash from both. I think hash preference is what the consumer wants. I don 't want narcotic weed whatsoever because I'm old and I like the energy and happiness but maybe you like sedation so to each their own.A good choice for me would be stimulating ,with a long shelf life and have plenty of resin for volume.
shelf life, yeah I noticed when growing and watering the plants with rain water .When its time to harvest and the whole process I notice after the dry and a cure the buds are better and hold better for longer shelf life . Very squishy in a good way they hold up too for a long time . I noticed using other kinds of water like bottle or tap the buds wont hold up as long . But yeah when you do it and you see the end result you be amazed with the results .

yeah kind of soil are you talking about like in a back yard ? potting soil ? What kind of soil do you believe can do that interesting
Pasture where they pissed a lot :p I don't believe it's sulphur but who knows, shows up in compost like my pot with soil I let sit out for years shows up in most canna and it's a stinky bad soil smell in the plants, it's legit but I concede maybe shouldn't rule out sulphur too. I really believe canna absorbs bad soil compounds it's not exactly a sulphur smell I'm picking up from my plants.

oh yeah piss,yeah piss stinks, acid and ammonia I believe, yeah that would be pretty gross .yeah plants absorb pollution too .Thats why you have to be real clean when growing it .
 
Any one remember nice sativa from south of the border , that was greasy moist , natural water , rain water the plants love , really is the missing link in great cannabis ,organic outdoors with good rain water the cannabis will really shine,

Yeah, Mexico has really nice sativa. I hadn't tried any I wasn't alive then. They actually sprayed plants people were consuming. Paraquat or something.

Ahha yeah over the years, edibles, resin vapes, herbal convection vape, bowls prerolls. I've read quite a bit of posts. But it's not cool anymore I've had nice warm buzzes from brownies but these days it mentally wrecks me. I'm still trying I am going to try my outdoor homegrown in some brownies that was the best but I think it's the tobacco and meds I take but maybe it's just sad. Okay. Anyway.

Be careful friend because the sugar in the brownies will raise your insulin levels and make you feel bad. You may feel better if you fast for 12 to 15 hours a day. Allowing your pancreas to rest may help you feel much better. If you overwork your pancreas by pumping insulin in your system all day from eating sugar it will cause problems to your health. I hope you get better and good luck.

Yeah. I drink so much liquid been craving something fruit juice like grapefruit bad. Constantly thirsty. Water not quenching it now. I try to avoid sugar I drink so much coffee black. Brownies not too bad but these days maybe I should fast. Thanks.

The brownies only kind of edible I might not have a bad time. I don't know why but like you said. Food has so much of it and i don't usually add. Or eat sugar except in juice. I throw up on edibles and smoking strong canna anymore. Just smelling my modern plants seems puky. Must be insulin.idk why now.

As we age we become insulin resistant and our bodies take more insulin to stabilize our blood sugar. Unfortunately, that is the starting point for disease and illness because our bodies cannot process all that extra insulin. When we moderate our consumption of insulin-producing sugars we become insulin-sensitive and gain new health. The best way to do that is not eating and snacking for extended periods daily. My eating window is 6 am until noon and no food the rest of the time. I eat plenty during my eating window. I feel much better and have the same weight as in my 20s. Good luck friend.
 
While Growing indica I'm observing how the plant reacts to rain . I notice the direction the calyxs they appear to face upwards .It appears by the direction of the calyxs its funnels the water in the direction to inside the flowers and main stems . Its from arid locations so it appears it does that to get any available moisture available through humidity or light rain .So in a case of a more humid location and heavier rain .Also the indica plants are more leafy since they are breed to be like that for hash production .So air flow is needed .So trimming leafs off a indica plants or hybrid is a must . They are leafy and you need the air flow when you are located in a more humid enviroment with more rain as well. So that why its important to shake the plant after it rains to shake off the water from the plant since its funnels the water to the inside middle of the plant .Also when its real leafy its blocks alot of airflow that you need. Also they leaf on the indica plants seems to be doing the same and direction the leaf is growing.Its the whole plant it makes the most of the little water it gets .So if you can protect from rain if you growing indica or hybrids , by shaken the plants after rains , put in a green house maybe while its raining , and good pruning .Its a must to prevent bud rot .Sativas don't bud rot as easy since the plant stucture is more open the rain runs off the plant itself way more easy .
 
Well I have grown many pure sativa's in my life . From what I observed is you plant the seed maybe next to a sunny window seal or shady sunny spot outside in spring , its a seedling for little time .The first month of the plants life I like to grow the plant to at least one foot tall in that month outdoors . If I do that the plant is more tough and can survive a heavy rain fall or animal better . It will veg as the sun increase in time the plant will veg more faster and faster and get bigger and bigger .What I mean buy that is as the plant in the season all of spring the sunlight hours increase everyday for the most part .Remember that plants adapted to this already . So naturally the plant will veg with ease with more sunlight hours . Just like indoors when you have lights for 16/ on and 8 off dark . Ok,as it goes when the plant has been vegging for its longest in its life since it was born as a seed in the ground . Now think of this plants three months old lots of sun light more than previous weeks ,so no the plants has bigger steams leafs and getting more sun so at this time the plants growing fast, the most fast it will in its life with the most sun it will get ok.Now June 21 is the longest day of the year ok .After that day day light will decrease everyday by the time you get to July males bloom , than Augest females will throw pistils .Ok on point what I see is the first three weeks of the female blooming is the buds are small just starting to grow after the first three weeks of bloom is when the plants really start to take off in flower .My point in this is I hear about plant stretching before flower . I just wanted to explain what I have seen in a outdoor environment .Also with soil to some people questions what I do sometimes is get soil from the forest and put it in my planters pots. I mix it with my organic potting soil . Its real easy to make your own soil . I don't do it because I do not have the space to do it .I just throw in my lawn all fruits and veggies scraps .

Using the Seasonal sequence of Mother Nature always pays off big time.
