Top 10 Outdoor Don'ts

This might be of some help for some outdoor growers.

1. Don't over water your plants. Over watering only kills your cannabis because they will close their water pores if they feel they are drowning and it is imposible to reopen them. It is preferd to let them be without water. It will only make them more independant, stronger, and resistant.

2. Don't tell people. People want to feel important and special. It's human nature. So if you tell someone they will only tell someone else so that person can think the person you told is important. And the chain goes on. Next thing you know the cops will show up at your house surrounding it.

3. Don't touch germinating seeds because you will only kill them. if it is necesary, use starilized tweezers. That is why the paper towl method is only a risk, especial to newbies.

4. Don't use seeds from a week smoke pot. 89% or so of what you grow will turnout the way it's parents did. So use seeds from realy good weed or from realy good seed banks, like SD's.

5. Don't over fertilize. Organic growing is the best, but I guess it depends on each pesons way of thinking. I don't know too much on this topic cause I don't use fertilizer, but If the leaves twist or fold down It's probably cause you over fertelized. Give it a lot of pure water. But don't over do it.

6. Don't under fretilize. Like I said, I don't use fertilizer so I don't know too much on this topic but I do know it's less common then over fertilizing. Just try to ovoid both.

7. If you are a newbie, don't start with clones. This is for more expirienced growers. You have to do it just right . One little mistake can cause a big dissaster, like lossing them.

8. Don't start too early cause then your plants get confused and flower too late and you get a smaller yield.

9. Don't provise a bad inviroment. Make sure there's enogh shade like there is enogh sun.

10. Don't harvest too early or too late. 23% or so of the total weight of your plant will form durring those last two weeks. Harvest when more then 62% of the white pistels turn brownish. And don't harvest too late because your buds will lose potency.

This is without a doubt some of the worst advice i've ever heard someone say.

Second of all, if you are going to go to the trouble of making some sort of FAQ, PROOF READ, or at least use the damn spell check. Your typing looks like your 10-11 years old at most.

Lastly, if your going to offer advice, at least have some sort of factual basis to base your information on. Just saying random, made up, retarded things just makes you look stupid.

Can You or somebody else tell me more about this?

Just ignore the illiterate fool's information before you really mess your grow up. Starting your plants anytime after the risk of frost is fine no matter where you live. this information is simply not true that you would get a smaller yield by starting early, what a foo.

Right massass,

This guy is trying to help, no need to flame the newbies. But on another note, I would not say those were the "Top 10" don'ts except for "don't tell anyone" that one is on all "Top 10" lists.

Now that we're talkin does and don't.

Can I keep clone plants inside vegging in 24 or 18/6 lights until they are like two or three feet and then just move them outside to finish when the days start gettin shorter.

HOG, how do you do it? I think you do just what I am talking about. How do you regulate the darkness?

Thanks in advance

sorry smart smoker...... we don't mind long reads...even if you cut and paste.


Tex....... yeah...I learned from Wolfshadow. Let them sit in 24hr light for at least 6-8 weeks and get rootbound. Once they are introduced to a light change....they should trigger flowering. I was able to put out plants between Jan 1st-March 1st and successfully flowered them. I ended up with 5 oz off the 2 GWS. I have a Nev Haze at day 65 and a Strawberry cough at day 31 outside. They should finish up fine. I will then put out my other clones and sexed seedlings for the long season grow around mid April.

Gonna grow outdoors Tex?

there are hundreds of snippets of advice for outdoor growers..here's a few scattered thoughts

don't make a trail to your plots......take a different route to your plants each time or much better still use stepping stones of logs and rocks placed at stepping distance so no vegetation is crushed. Do this and as they get big later on in the season you'll be thankful that there are no "roads" leading to your plants. Cops in coptors see the trails and trash alot easier than they see your plants..rippers on the ground routinely follow up any trails to find your grow, so make it hard for them!....

another good piece of advice is be able to view your plots from afar before going to your plot...plots should be selected under a number of criteria, one of them being - can I safely check out my plot and it's approaches from a few hundred metres/yards away to make sure it's safe to visit?...as you do not want to walk into a stake out

it's very easy to spot if anyone has walked through untramped bush once yopu become one with your area..but just to be sure ......on the approaches to your plots tie a long blade of grass or thin twine or bend a branch discreetly at knee ~ chest height across the path .....or encourage little spider's webs over trails..so you can spot if there have been anyone near your plants.

the golden rule is never keep all your eggs in one basket..this good advice applies just as well to investing as guerilla growing - have at least 3 or 4 smaller plots hundreds of metres away from each other ..and you will harvest something .,.or alot....and this is not just for the rippers...often opne plot will have a bad case of eg mites and another will not.

98% of plots need to have their soil improved so dig deep plots and add lots of organic additives ..and again after each harvest to ensure your plots get better and better each year...the deeper the plot = the bigger the harvest..every pick and shovel full you dig down into the back breaking shitty clay and rock will earn you an extra gram or two!..that same clay and rock will be loose, black and earthwormy soil in a few years will a bit of work!

say no to xmas trees! grow your plants intermingled and bent with other types of plants is the best way to cammo them......

I used to grow in an area that had very wet months and very dry months and so grew in mounds for better drainage.....the hole that was dug for the mound's soil was lined with plastic and was used as a dam, a cover was placed over the dam to prevent evaporation. A deep enough dam will mean the difference between carrying heavy water uphill to your thirsty darlings in the middle of a heat wave in Summer every few days or not. The liner can be overhung up an incline to help catch more run off ..branches can be placed over the plastic to cammo it, rocks to hold down the corners of the catchment sheet.

........I used to grow in a forested scenic reserve next to large sub tropical capital city and I'd visit my plots in the late morning and early afternoon when there were less people around. I dressed like a walker/hiker.


I have wonderful memories of my guerilla growing days.....up on the mtn my senses would amplify ....I had never been fitter or stronger ....as seasons went by my knowledge of the weather, the environment, the seasons, the animals increased which was a buzz in itself......the joy of growing big ganja plants, breeding them, trying out new crosses only aded to it.....the wonderful things I saw on the mountain - one time I walking down a track that was in fact a tunnel of trees and an eagle with wing span of 8 or 9 feet and the body of a medium sized dog appeared from around a corner coming right towards me at a fast gliding speed and it flew right over my head so close I had to duck ..I could hear the swoosh of air from it's wings. ..I would spot them everytime I went up there..the same pair raises new chicks each year

and the last year I was growing up on the I grew some of Gypsy's Zamal.....these have a very special high..if there was ever the one strain that I had to choose it would be Zamal .....pronounced Zah-marl...and don't pick it early, no matter how many years it takes!

Maybe you should try growing a couple seeds out before writing your book on growing next time.
