Outdoor New to OG

[G.Leave]

Ordered my seeds and they got delivered super fast ,now I have 7 autoflowering seeds from short stuff seeds and 3 photoperiod (Dinafem OG Kush fem ,2x Afghani regular) ,all for 45 euro so Im very happy with the deal. Those afghani seeds look so good and big! Also I dug 6 holes ,next week Im gonna add the manure and later the worm castings and perlite.My holes are half a meter wide and half a meter deep ,no idea if thats enough.For the photoperiod plants im gonna dig bigger holes.Got the manure yesterday and it looks like this ,is it well cooked? So Im really gonna try growing this year ,wish me luck!

Before you put the photo plant in, do a bunch of research on the strains, and make sure they will finish in time in your climate. I use native soil for grows and dig my holes 10feetX10feet X 18iches deep. The more loose soil roots can penetrate easily, the bigger the girls will grow.

I have no concerns about the lenght of the season ,last year even late november was warm!

Last week I added a gallon of horse manure per hole ,is that too much ,the manure will be in my soil mix 5 weeks before I plant.

Guys whats the best way to start my seeds outside ,should I germinate them using the wet paper towel or to pre-water the soil and directly put them in the ground? Also lots of guys told me that if I dont give them an indoor start I will lose most of them. If I add 10 litres water bottles on the top to act as mini greenhouse ,would that increase their chance of survival?

Depends on how far outside ...back yard were ya can keep an eye on it. Soak , plant, put on a cloche and keep moist.
Back country yer best to start indoors to let them get a good start before battle with the big world

I have no place to start them inside as I still live in my parents house and it will be impossible to hide them..

Hey man, I just saw this thread https://www.autoflower.org/threads/guerrilla-15.43532/ and thought it may be of some use to you. You could germinate the seeds stealthily at home using wet paper towels in a ziplock bag stashed in a DVD/Video game case

Thanks @pathway !
Some update ,I almost completely finished my holes ,I decided to go with horse manure and native soil ,the only thing left to add is perlite.I dont know nothing about my soil but man ,it really looks good and feels fluffy ,I really like it! The spring already hit hard here ,last days the temperatures were over 25 C !
Ive added pictures of my holes and the manure I use ,it doesnt look so well rotted but it has absolutely no smell.The last picture is of bagseed plant which I transplanted like a noob I dont know how it didnt die. Is the yellowing of the leaves caused by magnesium deficiency or stress from the transplant ,would epsom salt fix that?

I found that warmth plays key role in germinating seeds ,I tried germinating in dark place and it took like 5 days for some seeds to germinate then I tried putting them on my tv decoder which creates little heat and it worked wonders!!! I use paper towel and place it in ziplock.

Hello guys ,some good news about my grow.I've managed to transplant a very young seedling to my site ,I never expected it would survive the cold weather we got over the past few days.It was rainy and very cold (night temperatures dropped under 10 C).
The first picture is of "The Shiznit" from Short Stuff Seeds ,the others are unknown genetics and I use them as test subjects.I'll try to add atleast 5 more plants in the upcoming weeks.Spiders are causing some major problems ,any idea how to deal with them? The biggest plant wasnt transplanted ,I literally threw some seeds and it popped and outgrew even the older plants.
