Chong trying outdoors

Sorry I meant to put this in here.

So I am thinking about dropping a couple of photos that i got for free from seedsman. I’m on my 3ed indoor grow with autos never done a photo. Never grown outside… when should I drop them? Plan on using 5 gallon pots with ocean forest. That’s what I do on my indoor grow.

So yeah, I’m high.

Indiana/Michigan stateline area. When to drop? Anything else I need to know about weather?

Thanks.

I think @Covertgrower is closer to you. He’ll see this and drop by. :wink::+1::v:

I would be ready to put my plants outside. When you see the local farmers putting their crops out at that point no more Frost. And they have thousands of dollars invested. My area is usually mid May.

Approximately the same area. I would’ve already got them started, that being said, drop your beans in some water, get those babies going! :seedling:

There’s still a chance of snow in your area until the end of April. If I were you, I would start your seeds now, indoor. Then, move them outdoor after May 1. Start them in 1-3 gallon pots so they are easy to move outside and transfer to large pots later.
Also, 5 gallon pots are really small for an outdoor grow. I recommend you go with at least a 10 gallon pot.

I’m near Chicago and don’t usually plant outdoors until mother’s day. What you should be looking for is the frost free date for your area. For me it’s usually like 1 day in 10 years after May 10th.
