Uk outdoor grow show

Hi! This is my first grow outside.
I have 6 Sweet zombie from expert seeds, and 3 auto northern lights from Royal Queen seeds, 3 auto wedding cake,and 1 auto grapefruit from Ali bongo bulk seeds.
I will take pictures the next time I go see the girls in the spot I've found. Any input will be welcome.
I'm using only manure and blood, bone, and fishmeal because my spot is right next door to a nature reserve that's right next to a lake so its only fair that I use products that don't harm the environment.
Because it's next to a lake I've had to put the girls inside 20L pots and take soil down there with me because once you dig out holes in the ground they fill with nasty smelling water that's underneath all the silt.
I have filled the holes I dug with clay balls and covered the holes in the bottom of the pots with old fabric root bags to try stop the roots going down into the muddy water that's 2ft under the clay ball's.
My auto flowering strains are in 8 Litre fabric root bags that are just resting on the ground, the roots have been stopped by the fabric pots so I don't need to worry about them rooting in the soft silt.
Some of them wasn't put outside till mid May and the weather is crap where I live this year, so I will be putting a clear cover over some of them soon.
Happy growing!
 
This is literally a stone throw away from my outside garden

This is where the sun comes up about 5 am and where it disappears about 3 in the afternoon.
I've cleared a few branches for now but I've still got more work to do. I have big plans next year for this spot. And the root bags actually never stopped the roots going down into the wet silt.

Nice work Farmersmith! Looks like we have some hot sunny weather returning this week, let's hope it stays for a while.

It's about time mate, all we've had this year is rain once the lockdown was partly lifted.
I was starting wounder if the autos Ive got are not the best, but I bet you could put any auto out here at the moment and it wouldn't do very well.
Next year I'll have them ready for the end of April and hopefully we have a half decent summer and my plants will be already done by now.
Happy growing and have a lovely day
