A customer has a question and I hope we can get some opinions on it, thanks
“How do I grow outside without getting caught and what do I use, just the plant and water and make sure it has sunlight?”
I’ve never grown outside but you would want to find a secluded spot for growing that gets adequate sunlight. And DO NOT TELL ANYONE you are growing.
As far as the particulars for actually growing outside hopefully one of the outdoor gurus can give them some pointers.

Someone like @FyshhTrap can give you some advice, he grows outdoors Guerilla style, very successfully!
Very secluded but if you use 10,15,or bigger gallon buckets you can use nutes and keep control of them without stunting them
Plant some camouflage bushes and such nearby. Raspberries are excellent, things that have a strong smell like skunk cabbage, garlic, etc. Marigolds and other fragrant flowers can help as well.

If you keep plants in pots outdoor its kind of negating the purpose of growing outdoor ( low or none maintenance) you gotta provide more care than if you just plant them in the ground and forget it ( water once in a while)
If you grow 1or 2 plants thats ok but if you grow 20 and more forget it…it must go into a ground…
Plant somewhere near water thats all I can suggest…
We"re at it again, hence the absence from being here, and its fishing season!!
Things are going well, a couple of weeks behind unfortunately due to terrible cold weather and a few Major players in the Germination process weren’t cooperating, but, we"re gonna definetly have some AK47 Autos,
Gold Leaf, Amnesia Haze, White Widow, and Big Bud (if things go well ) so fingers crossed now and a few more carefully watched weeks before they go out.
Got some Prime area picked out this season, we’re going BIG, Trees !!!

Whoaa There, Hold the Reigns !!!
First I’d like to say Hello and Welcome !!
Planting outside is just a bit different than regular grows, it definetley Starts the same so listen to what these guys and gals have to say 'bout that.
I start mine inside for three to four weeks then out they go, (but where do you ask?) exactly… where is the question.
I grow directly in soil, no buckets ,pails bags or whatever, this way I’m using the surrounding soil to my benefit.
The soil is amended with planting soil ie. Fox Farms Ocean Forest, or some other decent to high grade potting soil mixed into and with the surrounding soil. I also use decomposed material(natural) from the area to mix in with the grow, so yep, there is some work involved in just the prep before the plants go to their final spot.
Now “where” is the question.
I grow in areas semi close to home to as far as 5-6 mi. from where I live.
I like lowland areas(prefer) near small ponds , lakes, and streams or rivers. I plant on the West side so as to get the Most benefit from natural sunlight, you want as Much as you can get. I generally get 6-8 hours of direct sun and a few hrs. in between from ambient.
Planting “Guerilla " style means you have to bring ALL of your essentials TO the site. I do this a bit at a time before I bring the plants.
You have to be a bit of a Mountain man, a magician, and a Maestro, there is Lots of planning But, when you finally get them planted it all starts coming together. I also use a Mountain Bike to do ALL my Guerilla grows.
First , I never tell Anyone I’m growing. period.(‘cept ILGM)
When choosing a site you Must be able to “Be” in that area and able to easily “Dissappear” when tending your plants. This means going to and from the site almost daily at first, then weaning off and tending the site every other to every three days, I"ve let my plants go for Four days at a time.
I wear casual clothing like “camo” shorts and an "earth tone color shirt so I can “disappear” into thin air.
Watering , this is a tough one. Water and "nutes " are brought To the site via 60 oz. juice bottles, the more plants you have the more bottles you need, I bring mine in a small “daypack”. At first you wont need to bring as much water, one bottle may take care of 4-5 plants, as they get older, One bottle may do 2 plants.
Nutes are added to the water before hand so know what you are using and what for, remember ,your plants will tell you what they want/need AND you are growing outdoors, in the soil, so your plants ALSO have Much needed nutrients coming directly from the soil.
Biggest problems are the Critters, bugs and animals, I tend to “relieve” myself at/ near my site as to ward off most animals especially Deer, mice don’t really care and will eat your sprouts anyway. BUGS!!! I use “Garden Safe Fungicide 3” found at most home gardening areas and in stores, its totally organic, I use it almost every day at the beginning, remember- the Cannabis plants’ own deterrent to bugs is the natural oils it makes(the stuff we like) and after a certain amount of time you don’t need as much insecticide. Very cool plant indeed!!
So…where is up to you although the soil and amt. of sunlight is critical, How… remember, its a “weed” it takes care of itself fairly well, you’re just helping it out.
As far as nutes, OMG, there are Too many, I use some basic ones like Alaska fish fertilizer, and more natural and organic ones like “Earth Juice Rainbow Mix Bloom” I’m also gonna play with the Fox Farms Trio a little bit this season"cha -ching” , “beastie bloomz” and “open sesame” Ya don’t need a lot when growing in soil.
So check out some of my other posts and see what I wrote, 'cause I fergot, but maybe there is some more syuff you could use to your benefit ( " Upstate NY, indoor start,Outdoor Auto grow" ) (“Upstate NY,AutoGrow, a Continuation, this just got interesting”) and “Holy crikies, look at the Triches” and My 1st ILGM(fem) White Widow, outdoor grow pics"
Good luck

Planted a Dark Devil auto outside today, I germinate it two days ago and placed her into the garden today!
So I’m curious @FyshhTrap when you’re choosing your location, do you go there often to check on the plant? Or do you just amend the soil from the beginning and let mother nature do the rest?

Apparently someone is on to you, OR you are telling people about your grow.
1st rule NEVER tell anyone about your grow.
If you cant grow inside then you may want to think about growing else where.
quick,? man. been busted. twice growing inside. do you think about 15 rows into a cornfield would be ok for w wwa
Sure that would be great, clear enough stalks out for ample sunlight though, People seem to have the impression that growing in corn fields has an advantage due to soil content and it does to an extent but, that soil gets compacted easily due to rain And the growing corn around it, That soil must be amended also be it, perlite and good potting soil (FFOF) mixed in with the surrounding soil, it has to be loosened up a bit.

I blend mine into to overgrown cactus garden that hasent been that has been run over by weeds,
Absolutely not, no concern whatsoever, they are looking for crops, one or two plants will never show especially if separated

my plan was to loosen the soil in field real good, about 1.5 feet deep then drop them into. right now. I got them in rapid rooters in side 1 gallon pots with a 75-25 soil perlite mix. was gonna water every 3 days with plane water, then after about 2 weeks. start adding a little nutes. using general hydroponics flora trio
