Damn look at all the southern maine growers im glad we be getting represented. Damn fine weather right now but i hear we might even be getting snow next week. One of my friends put his plants out last year way too early about a week before 420 and we got hit with a light frost and they died. I'd say mid may is when mine are going out. I'm also working on a soil right now which is an improved version of vics super soil to grow my babes in this year.

My 15 years of outdoor experience in Maine and Mass says wait until June 1. But that's only if you want happy, flourishing plants with a high yield of dense buds. If you prefer to put them out early, for some strange reason, you can expect a shitty grow. The plants will stop growing in the cold ground, and then take a long ti me to get going again when the ground gets warm. Few will deliver their full potential and many will remain stunted or weak. Leave them in to veg where they are warm and happy for a couple of weeks more, what the fuck.

Though its probably safer your way, I just think mid may is the best the 2 weeks of outdoor sun just makes the difference.

new england grower here too... was like 70 today! anyway this year im going to veg my plants indoors for a few weeks or so before i put em out... last year i put them out in early april and the weather wasn't too great ( just average daily temps, wind or clouds on some days, or frosts) this year i think ill wait till at least 4/20 then go from there since the weather has been beautiful lately.... goodluck all

this is a concern ive been having with an outdoor grow. pollen can travel miles and it only takes a little bit to turn a good crop into shit. how can i prevent this with all the novice outdoor growers out there that i know wont be pulling there males on time?

no milla dont do that. pull the plant and immediately put it in a trashbag. or put a trashbag over it then pull the plant, tie it off and you can stomp on it. if you stomp it youll burst a pollen sack and well have seeded plants for miles

Just snowed last night and during the day some just to show you how wild it is it was 70 something the other day. Also I am probably going to ordering church for one of my strains for the upcoming season along with lemon skunk and white rhino from greenhouse and LSD and red diesel from barneys.
