ah okay. What do you think the yields could be? Considering the limited light now that it grows closer to winter, but it is still autoflowering? and i have decent soil being mixed with pretty good soil, and I will be feeding it organic growth and organic bloom liquids? I hate to ask this question cause i understand the variables and how hard it really is to estimate, but please try! Thanks

well, with sufficient root space and loose soil, best case scenario is that it grows for a few months b4 flowering, if u do low stress training u could prolly get an ounce or so, but if u grow without any sort of training, maybe a half at most per plant
hmmm either way as long as I come at with like 5 dollars profit, I'll be happy cause the way I see it, it's good practice for next year when I won't need autoflowering plants and hopefully I'll be efficient at it. and if I can get half a o per, that will be about wat, 450 us bills for 1.5 ounces, plus that extra seed of cali hash or something maybe another half o, so hopfully 500 bucks? that'll be about 400 or 380 bucks profit so thats okay by me haha.
Oh yea one more question for you pott scott, do I need any sort of repellent?

that also depends, if ur puttin them deep in the woods, then possibly, but u can always just make a barrier around ur plants with brush in the woods to keep out deer and shit. and ive never needed bug reppelents and i would never want to put chemicals on my plants, but thats ur call
Okay well they won't be deep in the woods. They will actually be right next to my house were I can see em. So deer won't be a problem its more of insects. But if you say you haven't had problems I think I'll let em duke it out in the wild. If I were to do one indoor plant, how big of a container will I need? 1 Gallon?

Paper towel method should work fine. I always drop the seeds in a cup of water until they sink and then put em in the paper towel... seems to work better for me.
I don't think it matters if you put em directly in the soil, as long as you are there to check on them, and I wouldn't use those nutes for awhile cause the nutes in the soil should last for 30 days or so.

If the npk isnt above .2 then im guessing it may not be a time release because time release soils usually have higher numbers. I say wait 2-3 weeks and start with 1/4 strength dose of fertilizer and see how they react. After that slowly make your way up to feeding full strength.

I may have missed something but your going to start an outdoor grow now in New England? Your out of your mind, all your doing is wasting your time.
Plus, I have always planted directly into soil from seed and never once had a problem. Just know what your doing and you'll be fine. Nature takes care of it all outdoors bro.

You have until about November 1st until the first frost in New England... should be enough time with a little to spare for an auto-flowering strain if they only take about 9 weeks from seed to harvest right?

You can, but it's risky round here. I had to pull on Oct. 9th last year due to 3 consecutive frosts. They could have gone 2 more weeks but what was I to do? Covering would have given them away. Thats the problem with this area, you never know with the weather after Sept. 1st. I'm no pro by any means especially in this crowd, I only base it on my experience for a few years of outdoor grows in NE.

Yeah, I agree it's flirting with a frosty end if unlucky. =/
Just don't think it's a total waste of time - as the chance is definitely there for pulling a good harvest.
Hmm, well this is more of a practice run for me. I only want a tiny harvest so I make my money bank but I don't mind getting 0 profit. But yea I am in the NE, and my seeds are in NY right now, so I should get in the next few days. I was planning on a 2 month maximum plant, so if that works, I'll be happy. I remember that frost is never right on time up here, as is the accuracy of the weather people so I'll take a chance. If it does start to frost, I guess I'll have to cut early, no other choice right?
I would just transplant into the ground, not bury the whole thing.
