First time out door grower

Good evening everyone. I'm getting ready plant my first crop come spring 2017 and I just wanted to know if I should allow the plant to grow naturally in the sunlight OR should I try to train the crop?
 
We don't have many outdoor growers come to forum, but there are a few show up once in a while. Seems to me outdoor growers usually plant in an area that will get lots of sun and just let them do their thing.

Hope someone else comes along with more knowledge.
 
Yeah, this is my first grow ever. I've been reading up and I'm just astounded by all of the info. I'll be planting in a spot that gets more that 8 hrs of sunlight a day, so I was just trying to see if Low Stress Training, FIMing, Topping or Super cropping would be beneficial or not. I appreciate you responding so quickly
 
Awesome question...how well hidden are you...is it legal there....do you have room in height how wide of space you have...
 
Too bad Mike doesn't come round anymore. He went through hell and back with his outdoor grow and still managed a decent harvest. LOL
 
The space is not well hidden, it is NOT legal, and I have pretty of clearance for the plant to grow vertically. I have at least 16 sq ft of space. Gonna use an old tree stump as my base of operation, and then fence in an area around the stump. At least a few feet on each side of the stump.
 
Starting in solo cup(with slits in the bottom), then I'll be using fabric pots once the plants start getting bigger.
 
Well best of luck Rooster. I would be afraid to grow outside where not legal. As far as topping, etc, I don't see why you couldn't do that with an outside grow. Will make plants bushier, so plant for that when you plant.

Do you prefer growing outside? Certainly is cheaper. Don't have to buy all the equipment needed for an indoor grow.
 
Okay great....you do this right and you will have a Fuck ton of weed....transplant or whatever but final pot should be in my opinion at least 20 gallon container...start topping early like after ten nodes top them all...wait till you can do it all again then again...total of at least three toppings on every branch and node you make....dude you will have a fat fat huge wide fat wide large bush completely Fuckin full of nugg heaven happiness....
 
Hell yeah!! I knew I came to the right place. insomniaczzz , Yeah growing out doors is hella risky. Lol, gotta live with the consequences if things go south. You hit the nail on the head in regards to growing outdoors being cheaper. Hopefully this small investment will pay off.

Green75 Will topping produce more than any of the other methods?
 
Yah another outdoor grower....my first time as well...not legal here in nz either but have a fair bit of farm land that I have access to...have 1 control plant at my house so I have a basic idea of what the others are doing...good luck..
 
Outdoor growing is a crap shoot unless you are able to tend the plants regularly. There are alot of people that will steal your plants or just turn you in. Be careful.
 
A couple years ago here the sheriff busted a big outdoor grow, there were half dozen Mexicans living in the woods with the plants. Now that is scary because I have little doubt that if an innocent hunter stumbled into that they would likely end up in a shallow grave.
 
Depends om the plant. Some are fine just pruned but on others you will want to LST . Depends on the strain and the shape and size of the plant. Big plants certainly need some kind of traning, trellesing and pruning. Outdoor grows don't need as much attention as indoor. Only grow out doors in a suitable location private, hidden and away from people.Were I grow no stranger has set foot on the property in 25 years. I sleep well. I tried gorilla grows several times. not worth the trouble. If you have a secure place to grow there is nothing that can replace real sunshine and you don't have to grow frankenweed in a Matrix.The yield can be amazing! I am here to help if you need it. I get started again in Feb. with auto flower. Good luck.
