neeed advice !! outdoor grow

ok. im pretty much a newb . i've read alot about growing . cheked out the faqs and vids online . but i really need sum advice on how my setup/plans sound. im planning on growing outdoors .im planting in soil , in a pot , but im planning on keeping it outside in a 2x2x2 hole. i picked up the miracle grow starting seed soil for my seedlings.but im transplanting to miracle grow poting soil once transplanting is needed. i also got miracle grow plant food but im not sure when these nutrients are need ??? i have a few questions...

* when transplanting into a bigger pot how often should i water it and how much water should i use each watering ?

*also had a question about drying /harvesting . i've seen many ppl hanging the buds upside down in a closet for a few days.but im17 still live at home wit my parents and they dont approve at all . out in the open in my closet would be out of the question. Is putting the buds straight into paper grocery bags to dry and not hanging them first a good idea ??

i could really use the advice. anyone who can help in any way let me kno

thanks alot

I have had horrible things happen from using Miracle GRow. I will never touch the stuff. As for others I have heard good things. So I probably didnt follow the directions or didnt understand what I was doing. The plants dont really need any nutes for the first 2 weeks. When growing in soil you dont add nutes every time you water. Start off with half the dose reccomended until your plants are a month old. Assuming you are using the correct nutes for mary jane. If you dont know, get a book. The growers bible by cervantes is fantastic and will guide you through everything you need to know. Easier to look it up than get 10 different answers on Rollitup.

Watering instructions are simple. You must let the dirt go through a wet and dry period. The soil must be allowed to dry out in order for oxygen to get to the roots. The best way to know when you soil is ready for water is when your plants show the first sign of drooping. They will bounce back from drooping in a matter of hours. But at least you can get a feel for what the dirt looks like and how heavy the container is when dry. When you water make sure you soak the dirt. Water should be flowing out of the bottom of the pot. If you overwater and dont allow the roots to dry the plants will not develop properly, as they never need to go in search for water and dont grow like they should.

How to harvet and dry your buds dicretly, use a shoe box with strings to hang them in the shoe box. You can stand it on end. After a week you should move them to a sealed jar to slow down the drying process. At this point the moisture from the inside will be evenly distrobuted. If you let the outside dry faster than inside of the buds the potency will suffer. Open the jar every day and turn your buds over then reseal. Do this for a week and you will have some nicely cured buds. Vacuum seal what you want to store or use a canning jar (as long as its air tight) and they will remain fresh and potent for a long long time. Keep the air and light away from them and you will be a happy smoker.

thanks alot for the advice puff .. ill have pics soon

miracle grow often shocks the plants from too strong of nutes and food inside of it..but ive heard better things about miracle grow potting mix.(i think thats what it was..it may have been miracle grow ultra mix or something)but anyways i preferably stay away from any miracle grow product. try and find fox farm products, which are sometimes hard to find depending on the area..if not sta-green is a solid medium which you can easily find at lowes, jungle growth is also a very good choice along with pro mix...i wouldnt even use miracle grow nutes...the best nutes ive used are tiger bloom. try and find those and youll be on your way..good luck.
