Growing feminized plants outdoor

Hi, i am approaching my first outdoor growing, i don't really know a lot about it, i will plant 10-15 plants in mid july of 2020 in a climate similar of mid italy at 500-1000m altitude. I'll plant various feminized strains : Amnesia Haze, Kush, OG and maybe others(cold climate strains) I would like to know some informations about growing outdoor :
- How could i create an irrigation plant to work automatically that irrigates all the plants day by day?
- What is the type of ground that i should choose? - What kind of pesticides and other products should i buy ?
- Am i able to grow from mid july to mid-november early december with such temperatures ?
- How much will be the yield for 1 plant ? , i heard outdoor they grow up to 3.5m-4m in height and yield 1kg per plant, is that right ?

If is there anyone so kind to support me steadily for some time i would be happy about that :)
 
I had to dig drainage, so I cant help much on irrigation. I like organic rich soil that is well drained, and I use no pesticides on my plants. Are you planing Autos or Photo plants? Yield is a variable, depends on light soil(hydro), water, etc..

Edit,, Welcome to GWE!

Thanks; well drained soil ? I heard that moist soil is better.. And what if some insects destroy your plants ? No i plan photo plants not auto; that's why i asked if a plant could yield up with a kilo considering a 3.5m-4m height is realistic right ?
 
Also what about temperatures, - Am i able to grow from mid july to mid-november early december with temperatures 500-1000m altitude (cold climate strains)?
 
Well drained, yes you want the soil to drain well so the roots can dry a bit between watering's. If the soil stays wet, root rot can develop, I just lost one outside to root rot.
I do things around the plant to help with bugs, plant that repel them, such as marigolds, mint etc. I also use water soluble sulfur (this is a powder) on the soil surface (my soil needs sulfur) and in the growth around them. I also smash what I find, oh ya the garden is surrounded by chickens,, chickens luvs some bugs!
Some folks use neem oil, if you use this it is only for the veg stage, not flower. I see some putting it in the soil.
You will get some insect damage outside, keep an eye on them!
 
IF you stay above freezing, I had some outside last year, not ripe when the cold weather hit, I built them a box with lights and heat to finish them. (they were in the ground). Opened it up on warm days to get the real sunshine, it was a pain but it worked.
Autos are short season and the Ruderalis side is a cold weather high altitude plant . Some of these can take as little as 65 days from sprout to harvest with 24/0 lights. (as I understand them, they will take a bit longer outside) Of course Photos go by the light cycle to finish.
Cooler temps can bring out colors such as purple,,,,.

what if i grow cold climate feminized seeds from mid july ? will i make it with temperatures ?
 
Myself, I would start them inside and move outside as weather permits (or a greenhouse if you can). There are short season photos, plants that take only 5-6 weeks in flower to finish (I may try these indoor myself). Planting in July, when will you want/need.have to harvest? (for me this would be a very late start) As the days get long, the girls stretch, when the days grow short (below 14/10, heading to 12/12 and shorter) they flower.
To many variables to give a solid answer on time.
What will the low temps be in your area? They are a hardy plant, and I have seen them survive frost bite.
Maybe someone that lives in the mountains will pick up this thread and have good info (I am in dusty Oklahoma).
I looked these up, you can go to the seller for their info on them (may be better info) and so many "kushes"! [h=2]Amnesia Haze 10-12 weeks[/h] [h=2]OG Kush 7-9 weeks[/h]
 
Hi Aston welcome to GWE i'm an outdoor grower. It's a must to start them off strong before placing them outdoors. I try and veg. them indoors under strong CFL and T5 lights before hardening off in greenhouse x2wks then in a sunny spot with min. 8hrs. Do some research from farmers in your area see what they have done is what i'd do. Don't have to tell em it's weed. Yes do research on strains for your area, no one knows what's gonna happen in your climate conditions but you. You got the time now. We can all guess and give out ideas and suggestions, but it's up to you to find the strain. We can tell you soil and nutrients what work well but it's a trial and error with outdoor. Goodluck
 
Plant them in sunny spot and water feed them and garden pest you should nt kil them because thier beneficial to other pests. When a snail eat bit of a leaf it shines light inner buds pest control not pest kil.

hey, how much time short season photos need from germination to harvest ? I'll need them as soon as possible; The lowest low is 3-4 grades in mid november-early december.
 
If this is going to be a gorilla style grow starting next year, I'd take some tomato seeds out to your prospective locations and plant them and see what happens.

You've given very limited information, so it's really hard to give advice...L'Aquila is in the central mountains of Italy and gets ten days of rain each month from September to December. You're not going to get flowers in that sort of weather.

If you're looking for strain advice, look at the Great White North seed company. They have a lot of short season outdoor specific strains that would do well in a temperate climate with a short growing season.

ehy, can't i start them outdoor in those little polystyrene containers ? Also could you tell me more about this short season photo, i have never heard about it, i mean, do they really finish so fast ? Also where could i buy some of those ?
 
Rwise, also, considering your outdoor growing experience, how will be the yield of such plants? On the web i found that a normal photo had yield an astonishing 1.6Kg, so i believe that 500g - 1kg per plant is not unrealistic right ? From what i have understood a feminized photo outdoor yields between 50G & 1KG, is it correct ?

I have not tried the Photos that take only 5-6 weeks to flower, some will be in my next seed order. I got my seed from new420guy, just read the details they give on grow time.
As to how much one plant will produce, I have seen near 2 kilos from a plant grown wild (in a pile of human poo at a refuse plant (sewer treatment)) and others that would not fill a rolling paper, all depends on everything, weather, bugs, soil, light,,,
 
Hi Aston3 just do research your climate is different. I don't know where you are but seems like you could check out photo seed info. more specific to your area? Google it. Educate yourself with growing in your area. USA has many different pockets of growing times, temps. What works in Washington may not work in New Mexico when it comes to growing outdoors. Take heed what Rwise is trying to tell you, we have no crystal ball answers.
 
Ok, understood, but i can't find those short photos 5-6 weeks to flower on the web, isn't there a seed bank which i can contact about them? also the price is the same or they cost 10 times more or something like that ? So you claim that these plants are going to take 5-6 weeks from germination to flower, then how much until harvest then? If i could get those kind of seeds it would be perfect by the way. And not from a random guy on the internet, i'd like to contact a serious company about that.

Edited* : I found https://moldresistantstrains.com/20-fastest-flowering-strains-to-grow-from-seed/ , here there's one 5-6 weeks to flower, well let's assume it makes 5.5 weeks to flower, and we are on 23rd or august, will i be able to make em harvest ? It is about 2 months from flowering to harvest for autos, so how much time for those ? If it would take 2 months then a week before 1st november i wold be able to harvest
