is it possible to fully grow and bud a plant outside in the area of boston. the summer season is not that long and i dont know if there the temp will stay high enough during the long nights needed to bud a plant, as i recall last time i check my area doesnt get 12+ hours of darkness untill it gets too cold at night? so is it possible to fully grow and bud a outdoor plant in the greater boston area?

With the right genetics, yes it is possible to grow in Boston. You'll want a short flowering Indica that finishes in fewer than 60 days.

My guess is your biggest problem will be light during your dark period. Lot's of street lights etc. in a big city like Boston.

I've had friends grow in northern Wisconsin before with no problem. There are a few growers here from Michigan who have to bring their plants inside at the end of fall. I suspect they didn't have the right genetics.

There's a lot of people in The Bean, man. I hope you hide that thing good. I'm about an hour north of Boston myself.

 

[arizonabudski]

i mean i am in a small town jusst outside of boston, privact isnt much of a problem. plus the street lights wont be an issue in my back yard, both good points tho. only problem is i am afraid of the cold nights come september/october where there is 12+ hours of light. THANKS FOR THE HELP, i guess ill try to find the right strain

 

[Caddie]

Check this strain out.

Speed Queen

 

[arizonabudski]

yeah thats exactly what i need, can u order that to the states?

 

[Caddie]

Yep, I live in Colorado and have ordered two different shipments. They both arrived in 10 days or less. I grew Mandala Seeds Satori my first grow. Going to harvest tomorrow.

I started the Speed Queen about two weeks ago and they look great. Much more robust than the Satori.

I ordered from these guys (sponsors of 420 mag.com). Comes in a plain white envelope.

Mandala Seeds Satori

That's the link for Satori, look around for Speed Queen.

 

[arizonabudski]

alrightty thank you, and did u order them to the growing house? people tell me i should not do that

 

[Caddie]

I did order them to my house. I live in Colorado where it's semi-legal. In Taxachusettes, I would probably order them to a friends house.

You might want to look into other seed banks as well. I know Mandala Seeds is an up and comer. I love the way my Satori looks. I also love how my Speed Queen has taken off in two weeks.

I was a tiny bit nervous ordering seeds to my house, but the Feds don't seem to be messing with anyone here in Colorado. I'm only growing six plants, so I think I'm under the radar.

The seeds come in a little envelope that looks like someone just sent you a letter. I've done it twice without problems. Getting ready to order some more seeds tomorrow. I'm not worried at all.

 

[arizonabudski]

alright sounds good, and are the seeds on that website feminized or do you get some males

 

[Caddie]

No, just regular seeds. Read through Mandala's website. They won't do feminized. They have a very good website on how to grow.

I F up the first time by fertilizing them. They are doing much better now without any ferts.

 

[arizonabudski]

alright so just some foxfarm soil and just plain water will do just fine?

I grow northern lights, and outside it finishes in 7 or 8 weeks. if you get them out about the middle of may, they should start budding about the last of july, and finish by last of sept. Over on rt #1, there's a bunch of good spots !! But i'm sure there's better places. I don't know what quality the soil is over there . When i was driving truck, i stayed in motels on rt. 1 and i was thinking what a nice place to put in a few plants. But shit, i grew 4 plants, in a busy bar parking lot !! Fuc---g drunks can't see or smell !! Ha !! Just keep away from any place where the dark period will be violated, ie headlights, streetlights etc. . I'm to old now, to get to my spots, but i know how to grow outside. Good luck !!

 

[arizonabudski]

alright thanks

 

[arizonabudski]

that is kind of ironic too because i live right along route one, i feel that doing it in my own yard is a safer bet tho

If i had a choice, i'd never grow on my own land !! It's more convient though !!

 

[arizonabudski]

will it be possible to veg the speed queen outside and then flower it inside?

 

[Caddie]

I don't see why not. Your plants will be awfully big, and you'll have a hard time finding a space/light for them to grow inside. I don't think you'll have to though.

Should be able to do the whole thing outside.

 

[arizonabudski]

alright thanks guys, i appreciate the help
