Getting 10lbs?

This is just out of curiosity but my goal for the season is 10lbs half for me, give the rest to a guy I work with that will sell it quick cuz I do live near a huge college full of stoners lol but out of curiosity how many plant would I need and how many hour of direct sun light..... I plan on starting like 20 plants around 420 but 60% of them will be those super autos by stitch I've seen on attitude so I can see what they're like and some will probly be Dina fem white widow auto than I'll have whatever I get for free from attitude and I'll be gettin some big bid and "blue dreams" even tho I think that that is clone only for the legit strain but Idc lol but I k ow strain and eveierment and there's a shit ton of variables to take Into consideration but I was hoping that some of you experts out there would chime in and give an opinon......this would be like my first legit grow, last year I got fucked by animals and non fem seeds but the only plant I ended up with at harvest even worth harvesting was 18 inches tall had I guess 4 tops you would call it? And I got a half ounce off it even tho my direct sunlight suffered durrin the fall last year and havin to cut off molding bud but it was some of the best stuff I've ever smoked but that might be because I grew it myself lol but yeah I guess I'm just thinking out loud in a sence and sorry for all the grammar and typos in this I'm on a old I pod in class typing this haha but any input would be greatly appreciated
EDIT: I'm a gurilla grower if that helps and I'll put a picture of my plant up from last season up when I get home and I did get 4 seeds somehow from that 1/2 o but only 2 are gonna crack probly so hopfully they'll grow like monsters scence they are semi climitazed to my area.... It's master Kush to found the original seed in an o I got of it that soposibly came from a dispencery in colorodo And I got a seed from an 1/8 of super skunk i bought like a month ago lol

good luck man, my only tip is to do a little small scale practice before you get your hopes up at growing 10lbs on your first grow. I only say that in hopes of saving you money, stress and possibly legal problems. If you are still asking the questions your are, you are looking for problems trying to go this big.

Lol that's what I want to get but I highly doubt I will and I basically did a small scale thing last year cuz of his bad my plants got earn and how late I started anything over 3.5 pounds is all I really Want cu that should get me thew untill next year but is also like to make some money haha but yeah the more I think about it 10 pounds is alot

Like holy shit I just spent the last hour looking for some of my holes I dug to see how drainage looked and It took me about 15 minutes to find each hole in one spot than in the spot I want to put my autos I'n took me 30 minutes to find the 2 test holes I dug plus I'm sweating my balls off right now cuz of all the thick clotthes I have to put on to just make it easier to get to my spots..... So many fucking thorn bushes out thier sucks....my hands are still bleeding..... But my fears where confirmed that the holes where filled with water and not draining because of this fucking clay so I'm gonna have to think of an ingenious way to make those drain better lol it probly won't be to hard to figure out the only probly is the clay is solid and my shovel Almost snapped in half yestorday when I dug the holes and I only foud 2 pieces of trash out there 1 was a handle of bacardie that was from forever ago cuz I've never seen that label before and I should know because of my job haha but the other was the head of a pick axe that had a date on it of 1949 and it was rusted to hell I had to polish it just to figure out the date so I assume it's been out there atleast 25years

It will not really help you a lot right now but add gypsum to loosen soil, but you still have to dig up the soil and mix it in, and can take a few times to get the soil loose.

A quick trick is the dig the hole deeper then is necessary and put a few inches of rock and gravel in the bottom, it creates a place for the water to drain to and be sucked back up by the roots as needed without water logging your ball of good soil.

to grow 20 plants and get a pound per plant. and you harvested a half oz. last year. so your plan is to do 32 times better this year (1 lb) also 10 times that. There are ways to keep pests away but the area will look like a farm if you clear space around each plant. If you had a strain in production and knew what it produced outdoors that would be one thing. try to do better than last year , 2 times better at least is my advice (seriously).

thats a sweet idea, thanks man... but yeah i still have to trim 5 or 6 branches just so i can get as close to full day direct sun as possible but the way it looks in june and july ill have sun untill about 5 or 6 o'clock but still getting morning sun so hopfully that will help with mold but im kinda pissed that i didnt think about this before hand but if its that hard for me to get out there now its gonna be a bitch in the summer when everything is flourishing lol but thats a good thing to i guess but i do need to pant my chicken wire green just in case some one does happen to wounder out there but i mean im like ducking under vines and shit that are growing across some of the deer paths out there so i highly doubt that anyone will make it that far without determination lol but here are some pics of my 3 plants from last year 2 were fucked up beyond belief but i still got a gram off each one lol....... alright a little out of order but this is my master kush 2 weeks after it showed femalethis was one of the colas a few days before i harvested which i had to do a little earlier than i wanted to because of hurricane sandythis was it before i went on vacation in earlier in julythis was it 2 weeks after i got back i cant find the picture of it when i first saw it but i had 1 fan leaf left but i used some super thrive in my water and it came backlike this lolthis was one branch of a plant that was like 6 inches tall that i had lst than i came out and cought the ground hog red handed and i had my shot gun with me and fuckn shot it in the head with a hollow point deer slug lol and this was another plant older than the master kush but its growth got stuned and never got bigger than 6 inches and that fucking ground hog got it to but i did get my revenge

i would have done better i had 17 plants last year most were like 3 foot tall but they all got eatn by deer and ground hogs and turkeys so i bought a shit ton of chicken wire and put that up and than about a month later learner you need to have it like 6 inches burried or eles a ground hog will push/ dig its way threw it ( trust me i watched it do it right before i shot it / i wanted to see how it got threw) and it was all bag seed from mexi brick the only good seed i had was that master kush and she gave me 4 seeds some how even tho i killed every male at first sign but only 2 are completly developed and the other 2 i dont think will grow
and i another thing im trying to do is prove the guy i use to help grow wrong....he thinks that around here you can only get an 0 off a 5 foot plant but i got a half off an 18 inch plant lol and ive helped a few people grow, ive just never done it on my own before last year and most of the time the people i was helping would fail miserably and i would just say told you so hahaha lol i learned alot from other peoples mistakes basically is what im saying i think lol im baked right now hahaha

If you grow 1600 plants, all you need is 2.8 grams per plant - good luck

That's a little much don't you think? Lol but I am doing those super autos only a few at first but if I like what I say I'll buy more and plant them. I have watched someone grow autos before like 3 years ago it was indoor but he ha way to many plants under a 600 watt hps light with no air flow besides a very small fan lol but those plants only got like a foot tall maby and he got 7 grams a plant maby haha so as long as they get semi big and show female in a decent amount of time I'll order more

I say spend a few days hiking around to see if you can find more spots. Also how did the holes fill up? Was it heavy rain? I've seen a few posters here talk about raised garden beds and such. Maybe you could look into that. Be easy to spot from the air though so it's a gamble with that one. Guess it depends on how bad hoppers are in your area.
There's also things like pots and grow bags to consider if the local soil is going to be that much of a problem. Another thing to remember is that you can build makeshift pots out of tons of stuff. Large buckets. This big square kitty litter containers. Plastic totes. Depending on the surrounding plant life they'd be hard to spot from the ground. As long as they're painted anyways and stuff.
You can bust the bottoms out and have the container filled with whatever soil you can think of. Dig up the soil below where you're going to put it and make it to where roots will have an easy time stretching down into it. I stumbled across a few buckets in the woods like that when I was out hiking in winter 2011 looking for potential areas. 5 gallon buckets filled with potting soil of some sort. Was dark black and nice and fluffy. Bottoms were gone and they had chicken wire under them. Right smack in the middle of a small clearing in an evergreen forest. They looked like they had been there for years.
There's a few ideas to think about

They filled up because of a rain storm that later turned into snow that all melted today and the holes are on a like down hill sorta thing that ends at a creek which was a score for me cuz I hated hauling water 5 gallons at a time from my barn lol but next chance I get I'm gonna see if they drained but I had a 50 steel rock breaker with me today and I was slamming that into the holes and lots of bubbles came up so hopfully they drained but that is just in one spot my other spot was fine. I already have found a few other locations I actually found another one today when I was looking my some of my holes loo

Did you just plant them in the ground or did you dog holes and put your own soil? you should really have every plant have its own space with its own soil so it can grow better

In the ground for the master Kush and the purple ones were in buckets....the small one I moved from bucket to ground alot tryn to get it to grow after a month of it staying a seedling

i would suggest starting all of the plants indoors for atleast 2 weeks before putting them outside.

Not an option for me lol....I ha good luck with just planting seeds and watering with out germination than I did some with germination and that worked better but they all got even in the long run lol

Poor groundhog, will never see his shadow again.

you need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight and LOTS of room for the roots to grow. a good 20-30 gallons of soil for each plant. and dont get your hopes up on those autos giving you much.

>>>Or a lot of amending existing soil, at least in my case.

ya i try to stay away from using existing soil usually. but mainly because theres so much rock in my area.
