i'm thinking of growing some seeds outdoors in england for the first time, only thing i'm a little confused about is how long would it take, averagely, for a plant to fully produce buds and ready to harvest? because over here in england, it is only really hot enough 2 grow plants between late may and late september.

I'am sure u can get certain strains what can hack the weather over here but only in summer why not grow them in a green house i guess you can control the insects in there better than in the open

well the seeds i'm getting are quite cheap and the strand is called 'early bud' and it says it's very pest and mould resistant. plus i live at home with my folks so taht's why i wanna grow it somewhere else than in the garden, cuz we have alot of neighbours 2 lol :(

stOn3r....... it can be done love :) .......I've done it before , Sensi seeds do a few outdoor varieties and they were ok .......check em out, but its already June, :) so hurry...........really should start early May but get some going quickly and you will have a little crop about the end of September/more likely early October ;)

It can be done. I've got 3 Afghani clones growing outside at the moment. They were rooted indoors and then moved outside. They're about 1 foot tall and pretty bushy. I've grown it outside a couple of times and it's best to have a mini greenhouse or some make-shift cover to keep the rain off. It takes until well into October before the plants are mature and you know what the UK weather is like in October so you may want to consider a greenhouse. You can get the mini plastic ones from Argos for about £30 - £40.

ive never had an outdoor plant work out. i used to throw all my seeds into this one corner of my backyard, trying to just grow some natural weed, the way the birds would spread it. i never even saw a sprout. these were schwagg seeds of course, and i figured the backyard was a more suitable place than flushing them
