Choosing the correct strain for your area is one of the key factors in outdoor growing, especially if you are in an area that see’s a lot of moisture. Putting them out at the right time for your area is also very important. Many other things also, these are just a few.

Here’s a guy who planted 1, didn’t water just fertilized it once in awhile…I told him it’s a weed do not overthink about it, here’s his results…btw, he never grew pot before…

I tell people once you start overthinking that’s when you start to fuck it up.

Yes I am looking first to try Indian landraces can someone post any link which can help to learn from basics
I would think twice about that, landrace take a very long flowering time, unless you put it in a huge pot and moved it to a green house when winter comes…I’m just tossing that out there bromigo.

Another consideration is will you plant in ground or in a pot? I’m exclusively an outdoor grower. I have to plant in pots because I have to move my plants in order to keep them in full sun. This and all of the advice I have read above are all things you should consider. Just my two cents.

Up top click on Outdoor Growing section…hope this helps.
Btw, where are you located?
Yes outdoor growing
This is about the worst pick for first grow, flowering time could be 16 weeks or longer, unless you are near the equator it may never finish.

start with autoflowers, pick a decent 100day stretch of expected weather during the calendar year, make it easy on yourself.
synching up regular photoperiod cultivars with your local environment can lead to everything from mold-before-finish to oops-i-accidentally-have-a-twelevefoottalltree-in-my-backyard.
especially if you use feminized seeds, you can try a few different types and see what works. depending on your location, starting plants inside, etc - you can do at least a couple runs a year in a lot of places even without light assist/light dep.
worst thing you could do is try to force a super specific exotic finnicky photperiod plant outdoors for your first try. waste a whole damn year. clones from your local grow shop can be risky but probs easiest route for photoperiod plants with the right local scene.

Lots of good advice so far, but imho it starts with trying to match genetics with latitude and climate.
Are you in Humboldt county or Edmonton?
@PhilCuisine , what latitude and general region was that MTH grown?
I don’t know Central Illinois

Gorgeous plant!
So it looks like the same latitude as northern California, so you’ll have flowering start by the beginning of August I would think? For me at 50.5N, that plant would barely have a chance of finishing and it would have to be in the valley bottom, so elevation is another factor to add.
Anyway, enough from me. I tend to take the fun out of things like this ha ha
