This year will be my first attempt at growing. Will be outdoors in the middle of nowhere from different strains of feminized seeds I bought online. Anyone grow their own? Tips? I'm mainly worried about how to keep them watered since it's about an hour and a half from where I live. Also when or if to prune?

Its so simple. First get a drip system or another source of water for you plants. They are gonna drink a lot. If you grow away from your home then your main problem is gonna be people stumpling across your plants and snails/deers eating the plants.
Look up some online guides. There is 1 billion of them and they are more detailed then simple posts on a japanese noodle board.

I read that you can bury milk jugs with small holes punched in them next to your plants and fill them with water. You think this will work? I'll only be able to get out there once a week or so. It's on private land so not too worried about people walking through.

Will probably work but get the gallon ones and test it out to see how much is actually gonna drip from them (pr hour). When they are smaller you can use coca cola bottles and make a hole in the cap.
>once a week
Where do you live? your plants can die in 1 week without water (when they get bigger). Ive had plants that needed several liters a day (but you will probably be better off if you are planting them in the ground)

I live in USDA zone 8a. Summers get really hot here so water is a big concern. Do you do any pruning? Also all of my seeds are photoperiod and not autoflowering if that makes a difference. What method do you like to use for germinating?
Greetings OP.
> germinate in moderately damp paper towel in side Ziploc bag.
> wait for taproot to shoot out.
> put into grow medium preferably rockwool.
> where ever you plant them, make sure you have good water source.
> dig hole 1 foot deep
> put decent size fish in hole
> put dirt back in hole
> plant seedling
> research how to repel animals
> possible success
From what the OP describes you have like a 4\10 Chance of ever seeming the final product

Weed plants don't need much water man... Hence why they're called a weed, they grow best around the equator

Yeah but they need sun.
How to grow while avoiding FLIR copters and snoopy neighbors?

Plant on the south bank of a neglected creek or stream. Plant above the flood line and you'll be fine. You should be starting those seeds meow. Prep the soil with vermiculite and bonemeal. Soil based pour on fertilizer is a waste. Use a bloom fert. Once a week. Piss near your grow and dump some dog shit near it and the deer will leave it alone. It bugs you need to worry about. I've had good results with natural lemon based mixtures. Carry a walking stick and pretend you're hiking/looking for antlers/crawfishing/looking for arrowheads. Have an excuse for being in the wilderness. If you do see someone, wave, you're supposed to be there. The most stressful time will be planting and harvesting. Have a plan. Use a bait car. Be safe. Keep your fucking mouth shut.

This stuff works great when it comes to not being able to regularly water.

am growing, not outdoor. Principles are the same. The plant thrives off neglect. Germinate indoors until you have at least 2 or 3 nodes of growth, and then begin hardening them off. This entails taking the plant outside for an hour, then bringing it back inside. Next day, take it outside for 2 hours, then bring it back inside. This is pretty crucial -- the sun is like 1000 W/sq ft or something, compared to whatever you have inside. Don't overwater your plants when they're young -- #1 noob mistake. it is very easy to drown a seedling, and they really don't need that much water, honest.
Prune: if you're growing outdoor you have several months of vegetative growth ahead of you. If you're in zone 8a, you could stand to 'lollipop' ~early august. This means cutting the little popcorn bud sites on the bottom half -- the places that don't get sun. I prefer to FIM or top my plants -- it evens out the growth a bit. Don't bother cutting leaves off, they're combination solar cells and energy repositories, and your plant can cannibalize them when you have no nutrients.
Outdoor concerns: deer will eat your plant. Take appropriate measures. I've heard about peeing on or near, as human scent is pretty much "go away" sign for animals? Couldn't say.
Passive watering: I really like tropf blumat system, got it off amazon. Drilled a hole in a 5 gallon bucket and ran a tube to the cones. Keeps my plants perfectly watered for as long as I like.
On deciding where you want to place your plants, stick a 20 dollar bill in a plastic bag to a tree nearby or something. If it's still there a month or two later, it's safe to plant there for the most part.

I've done the dollar trick, You're right on about hardening them off and deer. I shall try your topping/pruning tips in a few months. Right on anon.

Damn never heard of tropf blumat but watching it on YT it's pretty ingenious. I don't think I'd have anywhere to hang buckets though for gravity feeding.
