help growing..

ok im taking a huge fucking risk doing this with my probation officer watching my ass so I at least want to get it right.. I put a wet paper towel in a bag with about 20-25 nice seeds.. as soon as they crack and a little stem comes out im putting them in really nice soil in a plant bucket thing and planting them in this huge forest in my backyard.. I live in a place with a SHIT load of trees and weeds and shit (the neighborhood not just my house) so I jump the fence cross a creek and theres the shit load of weeds and plants so hopefully no one will notice.. its the suberbs so people dont even know what the shit looks like. After it finishes growing I take it out but I dont know what to do after that like how to dry it up and shit.. im not selling its just for me.. cuz weeds to expensive to buy all the time

so basically I need to know what do after the weed is finished.. like how to cut it up and dry it up and shit.. sounds stupid prolly but ive never done it before. Also how do I know when its ready to be picked

If theres a lot of trees, your weed might not be getting enough sunlight, which is crucial. also you'll have to remove the males after you can figure out which ones they are. I'd check the growing forum for advice.

20-25 plants all for your own personal use anyways to cut them up and stuff i think you just hang them upside down for a couple days to let them dry out and then you just cut the buds off
