my first grow (outdoor)

first of all, hey to all... I haven't posted in a while, because I became a new father and my time was devoted to that part of my life. But I have more free time now and I wanted to inform on what I was up to... and get some needed help from the pool of expertise on the forums.

Now to get down to business

A friend and I started our first outdoor grow yesterday. We had picked out a prefect spot, secluded and it has great sun. While the seeds were germinating we got to work in preparing the grow area (we were not sure how safe it was to order seeds off line, so we used the best we had) . We dug in a circle about 3 1/2 to 4 feet deep and about a 4 foot diameter, we lined the hole with a tarp material and then filled it back in with spoil bought at a nursery (ph is about 6.4). We planted the germinated seeds yesterday, and hopefully things will go smoothly, although we are expecting the worst so we don't get our hopes too high.

here's a list of the products we have to maintain our hopefully healthy plants

- nitro fertilizer and a plant extract
-
Earthworm humus
-
organic pesticides, and human hair from a hair salon ( to keep away deer and other animals, i heard it works well)
- iron, calcium, and potassium deficiency corrector
- soil ph tester

thats it so far, I'll hopefully have some pictures of nice plants soon.
I wanted to make this thread since it is honestly my first grow and I wanted some good feedback on what we are doing wrong and what we are forgetting to do in the first place. So please feel free to correct me in any mistakes that I might have made in setting up the grow, or give me some advice to make it go smoother.

thanks all!!!
