    Yep - bag seeds work. Brown.

    Yep - transplanting that way works well.

    3-4 hours of full sun will work fine.

    Watering depends on if they need water.

    Go through and read the older posts alot of your questions are already answered and will help.

    Know before your grow :)

    No worries :)

    Great to see good use of the English language. Your crops will most properly get ripped,die or you will get busted. So it doesn’t really matter anyway - Judging from your intelligence.

    Alright well first you can use the seeds from bag weed, but for optimal results buy your seeds from a seed bank and look for the strain that grows well in your particular climate. Indicas are usually best for temporate zones, and sativas for warmer areas with longer grow seasons. Of course thats a total generalization, and most of your bag weed variety are a mix between the two, and since this sounds like your first grow it may be better for you to try to grow some weed from bag seeds so you don't mess up some seeds you paid a shit load for and you get some experience. If you are going to use bag weed seeds, then only take out the biggest, darkest ones. Your looking for the brown ones with the black markings this means they are mature enough to grow. The green or white ones and the lighter colored seeds will produce an inferior, scraggly plant as opposed to the brown seeds. To test the viability of a seed, place it on a table or other solid surface and press on it with your finger. Not so hard though. If it cracks then it is no good, but if it doesn't then its good to go. Place the seeds inside wet paper towels till you see the little white tap root show. Then place this "popped" seed root sideways in the pot you are starting it out in.

    Yes you want to start them inside and transplant to the ground for best results. Seedlings can be damaged or ruined by harsh weather, animals, and some pesticides. Its best to harden them up for a month or so under 24 hours of florecent light inside, then after that month put them outside. The time to do this varys depending on where you live, just find out when the last frost is for your area, then any time after that. A little cold wont matter much its only when its cold enough to frost that kills weed. Most temporate ares are between late april and earily may. To harden your seedlings for the harsh climate outdoors, put them outside in the sunlight for an hour the first day, then a few the second day, and after about a week of this they are ready for the ground. And for the sunlight question... you want at least 10 hours or DIRECT sunlight a day. That means NOTHING in the way of your plants and the sun. Its best to plant them so they get the morning sun as this is best, then maybe a little bit of shade as the sun climbs higher into the sky and becomes hottest. The eastern face of a hill is ideal, as it catches the morning sun, may shade for the hottrest parts, and provides good drainage. Stay away from low lying areas and the tops of hills as the soil may be a little too dry. Marijuana will only produce plant matter at around 75-90 degrees. If its hotter than this all the plants energy is devoted to repairing heat stress damage and you will not get as much growth. Water them every day for the first week, then once a week for the remainder of the month, then once mothly for fertilization as the area you plant them in should be able to support them. Make sure you try to make it back to them during times of prolonged drought. But of course once you get the plants established after about a week, they will grow on their own. Weed can grow with no attention. But the more attention you give it the better your plants will turn out.

    Hope this helps some.
