First outdoor grow.

Few questions. I've been reading a long time. Let me tell you my plan, and you guys give me advice.
This is a Michigan outdoor grow.
Strain: Undecided something Indica prob. Soil: Maybe Fox farms, may something less expensive Nutirents: Fox farm trio.
Plan to get feminized seeds. Start them in Red solo cups, indoor. get them a few inches high. Transplant outdoor when warm enough. I want to prepare the holes when I put them in. None of preparing soil before hand. water every few days, after two weeks start nutrients. put some fence up and insect and animal replelent.
Here's my questions
1. How much soil should I use for each hole for the plant. 2. What strain grows good in Michigan climate.

He asked when is the first not the last. But you're going to want some fast finishing plants. Something that finishes late September early October like. If I'm not mistaken that's around the time of your first frost.

I was asking about first frost...I imagine late September like JAA said above. KC Brains stuff ought to work; Brains Escape, Mindbender, Leda Una, KC-36...
You mention feminized seeds and I don't know anything about them...though a quick google search shows KC makes at least a couple of those as fems.
You may also want to look into canadian-bred strains from RCMC breeders. www.rcmcollective.ca I don't think many of these guys do fem seeds but they are outdoor hardy strains and you won't have to worry about them finishing in time.
Just make sure you get some strains that were bred to be grown outdoors or at the very least have been proven outdoors. A grow log is worth more than a thousand flashy strain descriptions!

I can't even tell what's going on in the picture man.
Have you never weeded a yard before? If there it is a lot of grass, you can just use a shovel to take it out, then prep the area. There is a lot of information out there on how to prep outdoor grow beds, just takes a little research.

Well how you prep it is going to depend on what the soil condition is like. You should buy THIS

Soil pretty shitty. I've just decided to use pots as it's a lot easier. I want to grow them pretty big. Can you reccomend what type of pots and things.

If you grow in pots you're going to be watering all the time.

Yeah I've decided to use 10 gallon smart pots. Watering is fine. It's on my property.
Now that I have that determined. Could you reccomend a good soil to start the seeds in and, than what to put in the actual pots? And I'm gonna use Fox farm trio for nutes. How often should I do that

Ok. No. I have not started yet just ordered seeds.
Ok my last questions are about starting the seedlings.
How should I start them indoors? Or should I start them outdoors?

Always safer to start inside if you're able.
What seeds did you get?
