The 2011 outdoor season is now declared open.

belive it or not i can tell yuo date and area based on the shape of the rick stool, they are for keeping mice and rats out of your grain store. worth a fortune.

im following you lads im gonna put out when you do, i took 30 clones put them in a propergater and forgot about them to some extent now ive had to de tangle the roots and put them in seperate pots. hope they will be ok.

Any info you have would be great man, we picked them up at a scrap yard about 25 years ago for a few quid each, i'd hate to think what they would cost now if you could find any to buy.

Picked up one of these for free last week, in perfect condition just needs a repaint if I can track down the original colors, might even make 2 new rollers and convert it into a cider press

My 'greenhouse' went, gone with the wind last night lol arrrrghhh

 

[ninja bud]

More green houses that think they are kites. Watch out for flying weed plants too lol

 

[BOSCO]

Yeah there was a bugger of a wind n rain out last night, woke me up at 4am.
Your plants ok HGO?

 

[Hundred Gram Oz]

I only had the few in the pics, they actually done well, only 2 got decapitated , I've been a lazy bastard these few days, I haven't even popped my other seeds. The so called green house ended up 8-900FT from the location it was at, I need to get the plant's in the dirt asap.

I'm tempted to plant a few myself but I'll wait another week or 2, still getting light frosts on some nights here.

I'm using the little reveg as guide, she picked up a little frost damage last week.
It's kind of in stasis at the moment but it's starting to show some signs of some new growth

 

[burning_red]

that wind last night was wicked--had my babies indoors thankfully but put them out today for a good blowin'--strengthens the stem up like but I still have no clue where I'm gonna try grow these suckers outside

 

[BOSCO]

Been a windy old week alright, lost 1 seedling when a limb blew off the willow tree.
Landed splat bang on the plant, it never seen it coming..poor thing.

Red any farms, frrests, sewage pumping stations, ghost estates in your area.
I've had my eye on a pumping station since last year, drive by it on a daily basis and only ever seen the odd worker there once or twice.

 

[Hundred Gram Oz]

Windy alright, I've got all my seeds down. Getting my cuttings tomorrow

Location, yet to be decided, got my eyes on a few cornfields...

Your going well, man
I still have a whole heap of strains to plant and feck all space left in the greenhouse.

What cuttings are you putting out?
I've only ever had the opportunity to put out cutting late in the season, too little time to veg and rubbish yield, poor choice of strain was another factor.
Be nice to see how they compare against a from seed plant, looking forward to hearing how they do

& dock , i`m picking me ferts this weekend for the first drum of tea & all the veg beds will be tidied up

Hows your first drum going MJB?
Should be full of foamy foul smelling goodness by now

Got delayed by a few things and only got to start my first barrel a couple of days ago, only starting to come to life today but sure there's still a few weeks to go before I'll really need it so I think I'll test the first one out on the veggies just to be sure.

Frosts seem to be gone a bit earlier than usual and the seedlings are starting to get a bit bigger

Another 2 weeks hardening off in the plastic green house and they can go outside in their pots until they show sex, the way the weather is going I'll take a gamble on the first lot out for mid April.

Stay safe all

you're wayy ahead of me--should have started earlier perhaps.

like a 15% ratio of perlite,always had nice results with a bit more aeration

the most awkward picture hosting I've ever encountered,no wonder you use photobucket Bosco.After literally half an hour I give up...for now

 

[BOSCO]

A little bit ahead bro, but there is no guarantee that the early ones will stay in veg.
Wouldn't be surprised for them to turn around and start to flower in the next 3-4weeks tho I hope they dont but I've my unused tents to use as darkrooms if they do.

Pic hosting here is a bit fiddly alright, having pics hosted elsewhere is just easier and I dont like albums full of evidence on pot sites.

Laugh , yesterday i`d just given the drum a good stir with a fork when the missus came around the corner & started coughing & heaving when she caught the smell . Warm weathers really helping it along & it will definately be ready for any plants .

 

[burning_red]

lads what are yous making up that 'tea' with? Interested to hear different concoctions

 

[BOSCO]

Basically whatever I have to hand, I'm not fussy.

This barrel has cow manure, compost, liquid seaweed, Doc, Nettle, dandelion, leaf mould and human urine......well she was taking too long in the bathroom and the barrel was nearer than the garden.

Bloody thing foamed over the barrel when I was at work today, lots of mess in the conservatory

 

[MJBadger]

Mines just nettle with a bit of dock & dandelion , nettle is one of the finest veg foods available if you fancy organic , ok it smells like a dogs fart on curry but the MJ loves it , check my gallery .
A couple of week ago on Gardeners World they made this big thing on RHS Wisley producing compost tea & made out it was a new thing the scientists were working on . Fucking laugh , it`s been on the MJ scene bloody years .

well she was taking too long in the bathroom

Then get her a barrel of her own . Waste not wet not .

I thought girl piss contained hormones that would cause some plants to become sensitive and have feelings, therefore increasing the risks of hermaphrodites

Hiya Jagle and welcome to the Paddy forum.

Sorry to hear you lost a few, happens to us all mate .
What is the strain you have left? if it's an indoor strain then you might want to keep it in a pot and finish it under lights when it starts to flower, not a lot of those indoor strains will finish or do well outdoors over here.

If your looking for good outdoor seeds you could do much worse than checking out Esben's Hybrids From Hell, he has his own subforum in the seedbay forum.
An awful lot of Esben's strains (Danish) flower early and will finish mid Sept.

Anyways nice to see you here and the lads down here will no doubt help you out the best they can.
Stay safe.
