I've heard that purple strains grow quite well outdoors in the UK. Does anyone have any insight about this?

been growing the same strain for the past 4 years outdoors in uk with good results unfortunately I`m still trying to find a pic of a plant that looks like mine cause i havent a bloody clue what it is. its not a purple one though, has buds that look like Afghani but the leaves of an indica/sativa cross??? beats the shit out of me....

Do you start the seedlings indoors? Also,,,,do you start you crop in the Spring?

Yes I've also heard this but I don't know if it's really true...I think mainly what your looking for for that climate is a quick flowering indica.Something that you can harvest before the bad weather really starts...like a 7-8 week Afghani,but bud densidy might be a problem in a wet climate so look for a quick flowering mostly sativa hybrid...75%sativa and 25%indica or a 50-50 cross if your climate is humid.Sativa bud structure is more airy or this reason.Afghani's are for a dryer climate,but I don't really know what it's like there.Hope this helps

That makes alot of sense. ;-) I think a quick flowering strain might be the ticket.

The weather here is alot like Seattle's.

initially they were cuttings taken from a re-veg roundabout spring or start of the summer ,spend june an july vegging them then i take a couple more cuttings before i switch to 12/12 plant usually matures by end if september and i keep my cuttings indoors for the winter then start all over again . still trying to find the strain and i cant say what percentage of mix i have i just know its not full sativa or indica
