I'll be slipping a few sneaky ones out too, just hope the weather is a bit better this year.

when you say outside you mean in the garden or in a greenhouse? I wouldnt have thought theres enough sun in the UK for growing outside

I have failed every year outdoors, never managed to pull anything worth smoking, and I have tried so many times!

Haha buddymate, I have seen a few of your outdoor forrests!

40,000 square foot greenhouse, does that count as "outside"?

I wish I was a wimp,I would love a 40,000 sq ft greenhouse

never managed to pull anything worth smoking[/QUOTEIts easy as A-B-C mate,most I got was 11 keys dry,could have gotten more if I had put effort into the grow

 

[buddymate]

Before anyone says owt,that pic doesnt show 11 keys,I chopped that years crop in 4 different sessions as I was working on my own

Hey buddymate, what strain do you run? Is it seed or a cut? or a mixture? Northern or southern? I'm more Northern.

Take it easy

No single strain mate,femaleseeds.nl stuff and a couple of others,I was looking at a seed vendors website the other day and they are using one of my Easy Sativa pics to illustrate the strain I use clones or seeds,either will do,I have grown north and south outdoors mate,as well as mainland europe and south-east asia Its all a game mate

i dont need the extra disappointment when i look out the window and see cold horizontal rain of thinking my plants are probably giving up on life as well.. but i may have another go this year for educational purposes..

Never had to water the hanging baskets much last year , looking on the bright side.

Apart from the problem wet autumns a lot of local sites have been swallowed up by urban spread , large plants get robbed if they survive the weather , soon as the nettles drop they stick out a mile , volunteer maize in a hedgerow works better.

Sunlight hours were very low here too last season , greenhouse suffered as well , less weight than expected but good quality , fighting mould at the end.

Seems intuitive that a faster flowering indica will fare better , but in practice a longer flowering sat,s structure will shed water better and and survive prolonged wet weather more reliably for me.

Only ones that gave me any outdoor bud last season were short vegged sat dom indoor clones planted out late June , finished compact by the end September , 2 - 3 ounces of decent bud off each and some nice sieve , in the open for three months less and not as easy to spot.

Same clones put out at Easter get large with a potential pound or more , but rarely finish by end October and mould usually takes them or local shits , once robbed a sites gone forever and am running out locally.
