HI, my name is "Joseph". I am new here---and I am NOT an alcoholic....hehehe Just kidding about that intro. Everything that I write is hypothetical because I don't know if I have the nerve to actually grow my own or not. I am trying to learn new stuff about these plants. I am wanting to learn how to grow big bud and California skunk outdoors. I would like information on how to prepare seedlings for outdoor planting. Things like if I should germinate and grow the seedlings indoors and thenplant them outside (and when to do that), or if I should just drop the seeds into the ground, etc. Any information taht Iget will be used for my own personal education. Any information about lighting, fertilizers, watering, and hiding the plants outdoors could one day prove useful to me. Thanks.
