Whats up lads and ladettes

Some of you might burst into laughter here but i was thinking about trying and outdoor grow in Ireland. Do you think id be wasting my time? Ive been told that if i got the right strain it could be possible but the yield might suffer. Whats your 2cents? I have no experience in outdoor grows and havnt done a lot of research on it so if there's anyone in the know post below. Thanx

you have no experience and havent done much reasearch? Don't bother you'll waste your time.

Growing this plant takes alot of preperation work and care. Its not something you just stick in the ground and come back after the season and harvest.

My advise is do your reasearch learn about the plant and what it needs and read some peoples outdoor threads and learn. You can grow this plant anywhere especially ireland......you just need the know-how to pull it off.

Nothing comes easy.........especially sweet fluffy green buds!

Grow On Brother!

If farmers can grow corn in your area (that takes 90 days) you can grow herb. Where I live. it would be futile to properly finish most sativas. I need shorter finishing strains (indicas).

I learn from doing, by making mistakes. Give it a shot. Sharp Pain is correct, but even a failed crop will give you knowledge. You will be better prepared for your next try.

Most of the shorter flowering varieties are alreadt sold out.

Maybe i should have said i hadn't done much research YET. Im also aware that this beautiful plant needs a lot of care and attention, ive been growing it since i was 18yrs old.

Thanx

you probably want an early finishing, mould resistant, sativa dom hybrid.

KC33 could be worth a try.

i think the biggest problem in ireland could be a wet late summer/ autumn causing budrot.

people grow outside in the rest of the uk, even scotland, with early finishing strains, but it'll be even more important for u to find a mould resistant strain.

and, no, cpt, they dont grow corn in the uk & ireland.

Morganic - My apology if I came off as negative.

The "I haven't done alot of reasearch" statement made me assume you were new to growing and one of these guys that thinks he can just drop some seeds in dirt and he'll get dank buds that he wont have to buy.

Grab some NL#5 they nice mold resistant and give you a nice yeild.

Hey Hi all......................Outsi de grow...yep ..
i want to take pics

TRY MAGUS GENETICS

"Biddy Early is our first outdoor variety, but in our opinion already one of the best ever. It will grow out to a classical Sativa Xmas tree with a height of approximately 1.8 to 2 meters. Because of its early flowering and maturation, it's very well suited for open field cultivation in Holland, and area's with a similar climate. Of course it's also possible to grow the Biddy Early with great results indoors under lights, but remaining mothers in a vegetative stage for a prolonged period, can be difficult, and in some cases even impossible. The majority of the plants will form red and purple colours if exposed to low temperatures, yet with some variation in the location and intensity of the discoloration. It has a sweet candy aroma and a powerful high, not recommended as a "day-time smoke", but still mild enough not to be considered a "party killer".

theres a Bar in IRELAND called Biddy Earlys!

Peace!

Sharp_Pain: No probs, i was in a bit of a mood yesterday. Custody battle looming im afraid. You wouldnt Know who stocks the NL#5 as i can only find sensi's variety croosed with haze. Thanx for the info.

Anyway, i was speaking to a friend yesterday who has a massive secluded back garden(im not going gerilla style yet) so he might be the man for plan. Hes a stand up guy

Ive heard a lot of good things about magnus.gen Unc. they look spot on and not too expensive either, Ive already got some kc33s from a previous grow so il try them to. Im not expecting much as it took me a few years to get the hang of indoor gardening(still learning) but il give it a good go.

Peace
