Yeah but you’ll usually only find it from caregivers and home growers that have been growing from cuttings. I personally don’t know of anyone that has seeds. I’ve heard talk of them but there’s a lot of big talk in a state like ours.

This guy I knew was from MI and he talked big about Monkey Paw from "back in the day".

I've lived in Mi for 75 years. I remember/read some of the old "back in the day" stories regarding Monkey Paw. No personal experience, but it sounded impressive.
If anyone shows up with it, I'd be a willing customer....

Good morning!
I have a question for all my fellow Michiganders: When do you typically start your plants/seeds if you're doing an outdoor grow?
I am new to growing - with my 1st grow being an indoor grow from clones. I finally consumed that harvest and I'm wanting to try an outdoor grow this year to see the difference in quality + save a few bucks on electrical.
My one worry with growing outdoor is starting too late - which is why I'm debating getting them going indoors and moving them out after a few weeks when weather gets better.

I normally start my seeds about the first of April in paper towels and plant them in the ground around first week of June

Awesome! The weather here is so screwy and varied depending on which part of MI you're from - plus I haven't lived up here that long - so I figured it was best to ask those of you who have lived here longer and have experience planting outdoors.
Thank you!
Trying to decide if I want to do a full outdoor, or mix it with some indoor to keep my light schedule on the higher end and avoid the deer/squirrel finding my babies.

I actually just built a high tunnel for growing. You will definitely have to get some mold/mildew treatment, a lot of organic treatments on the market. Here’s some pictures of when they are ready to plant and also finished product

Nice setup! Mine won't be anywhere near as nice. You tend to have mold/mildew issues when growing outside? glad you mention that before I get seeds down.
I suffered from some stupid white powdery mildew on my first grow and just couldn't seem to get rid of it - even with Neem, more airflow, defoliating - was a losing battle so I chopped em early. FORTUNATELY bud washing is a thing - and there was no actual mold.

Yes with all the rain and cool temperatures at harvest time bud rot is a threat. Like I mentioned there are preventative maintenance products. I use trifecta which is all organic. You can use it right up to close to harvest.

I really appreciate all the insight. I think I may leave them in a 10gal fabric pot with that in mind so that near the end of season I can finish the flower under light.
I grew outdoors last year in Chicago and had pests, something you need to be aware of. CL

All good things to take into account! I have some food grade DE that I used in my veggie garden last year, and I'll probably have some sticky traps. Any other anti-critter item you can think of I may want to consider?

You can also get predator insects to help combat the bad bugs. Also do what you can to attract birds to your garden to help out as well
@Sierra Natural Science 209 Systemic Pest Control, plants absorb it and it tastes bad so they feed elsewhere. CL
Oops sorry about that I see now that I already told you about SNS. CL
