Well if you don't care about seeds, especially if you want seeds let the males release their pollen. I would not use the soil in the woods, but where i live its acidic and not greatly nutrient rich. I would dig down a couple of feet, maybe and plant the plants in some organic soil or something. As for their yield it depends a lot on what your doing to them, and the conditions their growing in.

welcome to the growery!!!........well if they are bagseeds they will be an unstable strain which means it wont be the best weed or grow the easiest....plus if they get pollinated, the alkaloid content of your plants will go down as the the seed count goes up! (its not really hard to spot and cull out the males).....if you do go through with this then i would mix some good organic top soil in where your going to plant them (you said you have miracle grow soil.....i've heard good things about miracle grow soil....ive never used it myself though)..... and for your last question.....it ranges but if you get a harvest it will be enough trust me especially if grown outdoors...... (the first few weeks are the easiest and they are less needy, also good soil will feed them for you for a few weeks without you needing to feed them)......so save up some money while their still in the first few weeks of growth so youll have money to buy supplies like nutrients n' stuff (but you also gotta make shure the soil doesnt dry out to much.....<drought>) im shure your gonna have more questions soon....so keep posted!!!! good luck!

the weight of your harvest will depends on a lot of things.....it could possibly last that long, and it could possibly not....the range is big.....and it also depends how much you smoke and use to sell, or for edibles or hash....but if your growing outdoors in a good spot and have room for more the go for it! do a guerilla grow!....google it

i dont think blender hash would be a good idea for males because they have a low content of thc in them and they dont crystalize like the females do, so there would be little to no trichomes to make blender hash out of......BUT! you could make butter out of them or even honey oil using butane.....

Only 8 plants? I wouldn't just let those males pollinate whatever they want. If you really want to get some seeds, here's what you do. You keep an eye on the plants and as soon as they start showing sex you determine what's male and what's female. Rip all but one of the males out (keep the biggest, best looking male). Let the male grow until it's pollen sacks are getting ripe. Then rip out that male, take it home, and take a few branches with pollen sacks and set them up in your closet over a tray. Just let them dry for a few days in darkness and the pods will open and dump pollen on the tray. Then you collect that pollon and put it in a dark canister (film container is good). When the female buds are looking a little more developed (maybe 3 weeks into flowering) take that pollen, dip a little paint brush or Q-tip into it, and CAREFULLY sprinkle it on a select few buds on one branch. You will get a shitload of seeds in whatever buds you sprinkle it on, so you don't need to impregnate many. Pollinate the best looking female plant so that you are getting good genetics.
I did this last season and ended up with like a hundred seeds from one branch of one plant. And I didn't have to compromise the rest of my virgins.
As for your other question, if you get 4 plants, I'd expect maybe 4 ounces. But yield is genetically and growing environment dependent. Just take good care of the plants and watch them a lot closer to the end of the grow because a bout of mold will destory all that precious bud. I learned that the hard way during my first grow.
