How to grow cannabis outdoors

I have found that if one matches the photoperiod sequence indoors like it is outdoors and with plenty of root space they will get a higher ratio of females. The ratio is about 3 males out of 12 plants. Also, I have found in experimenting that using a long day photoperiod 16 to 18 hours for germinating seeds and growing seedlings will raise the ratio of males.
 
I notice growing cannabis outdoors ,organic , with rain water , brings out the flavors ,.I notice if its a sativa or indica . It takes you back to how weed was and smells like a field of weed . And the smells like different plants bring different smells .But straight up smells like weed field grown outside .Those complex smell is the outdoor organic smell from back when everything was outdoors.Well that's what the cannabis wants to be outdoors and organic with natural water been like that for very long time . Everything you lack doing that you will never know what to look for and will go another direction .Plus I wanted to add to harvest you cannabis at its peak to get best effects if not harvest at its peak the product will lack effects . exp. like sativa psychedelic effects. All this information is what I have learn from experience and I'm sharing information I hope this helps
 
I like the idea of light DEP . and on board with doing more than a 12/12 because of light leaks , also seems like the plant does good with more dark hours for flower . also with indoor lights they seem to do good in a green house for veg , its good in that sense . mix light , and than light DEP , sounds good . Also cannabis does love the sun but they come higher elevation , so at the rate the temperatures are cooler , so if your at lower elevations you have to consider the heat as a factor , at higher latitude seems that you can grow at lower elevations with more ease .

When I worked in a greenhouse every year, we used light deprivation to turn green poinsettias red. The timing was crucial to ensure we would get the product to the market before Christmas. It's a lot of work and a pain to have to be there twice a day every day. The payoff was well worth it back then, not sure how the market is now.

has any one tried th seeds gear ???I heard he was going to Las Vegas ? For what I don't know .any one heard of this plus any one hear of ag seeds , I heard some weird stuff about him , any knows if he is a real breeder .? I have my doubts that he is .
What are you growing now friend?
 
I wanted to add the way I like to sprout seeds that I feel works very well , I usually use little clay pots , I put potting soil in , I like to use a spray bottle to spray mist on the soil , with rain water , I like to sprout seeds inside next to a window that gets morning sun , I find this way works really well . Also when you flower plants I have use different kind of fertilizers , if you use some thing higher in nitrogen than phosphorus during flower it will be more leafy the buds , less potent just not ass good by far .I do know from experience so just wanted to put that out there .When you flower make sure the phosphorus is higher than nitrogen that's a must .
 
I harvest the seeds got 50 %germ rate , probably because pot was to small and not all seeds was ripe during harvest,anyways,half of the seeds that pop the plants are very good robust,none mutants,nice smell,grows wide,will do good in 20 gallon pots,likes the sun and water,doing fine no herms can't complain ,looks like real deal 70s indica, just gonna keep making seeds, only working on this line,it's a good body buzz take some pain away ,the buzz is like a sativa in effects you just got to smoke a little more but you can't get good buzz from it,I have no complaints, mutants leafs looks like it can be caused by little things , insects,wind, little things don't think its a genetics thing ,its a very frosty plant,
 
Some more seeds popping one of the deep of seeds I made

sex is determined at the time of pollination ,
there is no technique that increases chance of males or females ,
because they are already males or females , predetermined,
feel free to check this out with some more sciency kinda folk u know ,
im sure you will find it is correct,
i hear folks saying they can tell what the seed is too , but i dont really think thats doable...
