Outdoor grow help for Illinois and surrounding area

I’m excited that outdoor grow season is right around the corner but I’m worried about the unpredictable weather Illinois grow seasons. This will also be my first outdoor grow. I’m gonna start inside but but is some advice and tips for planting outside in the midwest?

Im in Indiana and this weather pattern is nuts…im inside obviously but id say make sure u got tarps and support poles for sure and gonna need to watch n treat for bugs n unwanted critters…..and I’ve seen people outside at day and bring them inside to tent at nite but id suggest not to due to those bugs. Hope this help alil bit.

Of your south of I70 your weather is very similar to ours in sw Ohio, you can check out my cultivation diary for how I approach outdoor growing.

Yeah they would definitely be outside at all times. I’ll still be doing my indoor grows along side the outdoor grows. So as far as like rain goes is it recommended to be covered or let it be?

If it’s real heavy rain for long period id cover but if they get soaked id always check n give them a good shake. That’s just me! IF i could grow outdoors

You have such great info! Thorough and thoughtful. Alot of work that i can appreciate you passing along so truly, thank you very much. I’m still so nervous about outdoors just cause of the variables but want the advantage of an outdoor grow. When doing photos outside, the flip and all that goes fine? I’m saying like true 12/12 would be getting late here. Keep in mind i haven’t grown photos yet. Sorry if any of it comes off as dumb lol

I’m not sure I can here either. The law is vague on outside rules. I see buddy’s of mine post with plants in a greenhouse in my state but I dont know at this point lol

Be careful bud! Yeah I get scared to post sometimes lol….was gonna do a yt or post on my ig but idk :man_shrugging: pryin eyes be watching :eyes:

Yeah for sure! My neighbor is an asshole too so maybe I should keep them inside in the grow room lol

:100: oh yeah asshole neighbors are a nightmare bro….better safe than sorry. Maybe one day our government will wake tf up rolling eyes

Yeah bro. Ridiculous that it has even taken this long for the little bit they give us. But I look at it this way….that we are the pioneers paving the way for a better future for marijuana.

:100: agree with that for sure
