soil/soil-less is about the most forgiving

Considering the time of year and being in the Midwest he will have to grow indoors for at least another 5-5.5 months lol. We got some doozy weather here right before Christmas…-6 degrees. Colder than a witches titty in a snowstorm.

@007geek are able to grow in a room? or do you need a tent?

tents go from way cheap to big dollars

I bought a Hydro Crunch 4 foot by 8 foot 70 inches tall tent for 149 to the door

to keep vegging some plants for outside because some how I ran out of room

for the money is a great tent for what I did

lights again the same cost can be all over

HID lights in HPS/MH are cheap and somewhat a thing of the past

but I have grow tons of weed with 400 watt highbay lights over the years

with LEDs ask questions, shop and look at grows of people using the ones

you are thinking of getting

you can build LEDs I just did at buck a watt it worked for me as I wanted to hang

1900 watts of LEDs to do away with 5200 watts of HIDs

still dialing them in

a bit of a learning curve for and old dog

ask question folks here are very helpful

In Missouri, I wouldn’t put plants outside until after the 15th of May, even though I’ve seen snow fall on the 22nd of May.

I am in upstate New York and it gets cold here the last two years

I have put plants in the ground May First

I put out plants that are six months old

I am doing six plants to be right with the state

I also am putting out 30 of these

Mephisto’s Wedding x Forum Stomper

I will start them under lights in April so they can go out around the first part of May

I will have them well rooted in 16 oz drink cups or maybe 1 gallon pots

chop them by July

are you in a legal state? growing for your head? or visions of being a cash cropper?

outside in the ground is painless the plant does all the work and you

just need to not love them to death :slight_smile:

be safe and stay free

Ain’t that the truth, if you go by the Farmers’ almanac last frost is April the 15th. But don’t believe that for a second, lost three sets of Tomatoes in 22 due to getting froze out, all after the 15th.

In Missouri, you can grow monsters even if you wait until the middle of May. I have put in plants in the middle of May that reached 25–30 feet by the end of Oct. This was in extreme southern Missouri, and planted in a 20’ tall pile of composted Turkey manure and rotten sawdust. Who says Turkey is only for Thanksgiving?
