Any one know how to grow outside in ireland

[ptl32]

Hey,
So i hear you can do grows outdoors as in plant some seeds in a remote place on some random patches of land that you think suit and then let nature take its course

So does anyone from the irish forum know the best times / ways to grow in Ireland considering we know our weather the best.

So maybe collectively we can make an ultimate outdoor grow guide for Ireland, and any little hints / tricks you picked up on the way like is there anything you should bury with them like limestone or put some plastic down to keep the water in or i duno. I've only ever grown mushies outdoors so have no notion how to grow cannabis outside.

P.s DO NOT give any locations that you have used or are thinking about using but you can generalise like ... right beside a wall for shelter but gets full light all day long. So that people can learn the best type of location... we can litter the country with plants haha

:joint1:B]Hi there, I've grown outdoors in West-Cork Ireland and I know all the tricks of the trade and I'm only too happy to share them.[/B]

First get the seeds. - seed from plants that have being grown outdoors in our climate zone are best if you can get them from a friend.
Otherwise get outdoor seeds from a head-shop, The Funky Skunk in Cork is my favourite - The Funky Skunk - Corks First and Finest Head Shop - Herbal Highs - Spice - Charlies - Red Devils - Happy Caps - Chillums - Books (http://www.thefunkyskunk.ie)
Next step - germinate the seeds. Get a flat container and cover the bottom of it with cotton wool or tissue. Wet this and let all excess water drain of. Place the seeds on top. Cover with cling-film to stop it drying out. Now put this in a warm place like an airing cubbord. In about one week the seeds should have sprouted if they were warm and damp.
Next step - starting the seedlings. Plant the seeds in small pots just covering them up to the base of their stems. Use peat moss or potting compost and you can use liquid fertlizer if you want. Now place them in a south facing window or better again- a tunnel or glasshouse. You can also make a simple tunnel or glasshouse thatonly needs to be a foot or two in hight. Make sure the pots are big enough for the plants as they grow and make sure that they never dry out or this will really set them back or kill them.
Next step - Planting out. Dig big holes at least one foot deep and two feet across.
Fill the holes with the best compost that you can get. Cow or similar manaure is the best and can usually be gotton quite easyily in the countryside - just say to some farmer that you want to grow some vegtables of something :). Plant the plants level with the groung level with manure all around and under them as they really need this for the best results.
Next step - caring for the plants. Once they are planted outside you hardly need to care for them, you just need to kill a few from time to time and by that I mean the males - they have flowers that will ferterlize the female plants and cause their buds to produce seeds thus ruining your crop. The males are recognised by their very distintive flowers that come out before the females start producing buds. Look for pictures on the web to show you what both look like. The only other thing is watering. This is usually only necessary during a drought or when they have just been planted although you might want to water them with liquid fertlizer from time to time.
Next step - harvesting. Before the plant start to get moldy they need to be harvested - after the start of september you need to check that there is no mold as it can destroy a crop very quickly. In late september - early october harvest and leave your plants hanging downward in a warm, dry place. A de-humidfier is better than a heater but a warm attice or clothes cubbord will do.

The whole trick of outdooor growing is to maximise the time that the plants are growing - germinate in Febuary and plant out as soon as growing conditions outside are good - in April or May.

i have one question about growing outdoors in ireland...
since the seeds are going to have fairly basic growing conditions does the seed type have any effect at all since most of the plants are not going to grow REALLY big with the cold and rainy weather?!?! thanks ... also in general is the plant still getting light off the sun if it is cloudy and the sun isnt actually shining??...would cfl be better than this??

[moshmonkey]

tried outdoor growing this year, failed horribley! all germinated great, then after planting they all died! i think, well they never grew! :(

[lennie1612]

since the seeds are going to have fairly basic growing conditions does the seed type have any effect at all since most of the plants are not going to grow REALLY big with the cold and rainy weather?!?!

AND WHAT ABOUT THE PLANT GETTING SUNLIGHT EVEN WHEN ITS CLOUDY??

[moshmonkey]

i recommend reading the outdoor growers guide on the outdoor growing forum. you get special seeds for colder conditions.

[irishgrower]

Hey guys, how's things? Have 3 plants growing at the moment down south. Will post some pics up 2moro. There's not much involved to be honest. Keep em watered, watch out for pests and that's pretty much it. This is my 3rd year growing outdoors and have had pretty good results every time. The plants dont need 12 hours sunlight every day to grow. You'd be surprised at how big they'll get even with our dodgy weather. I had 2 (Purple Power) grow to over 5 feet last year. Anyway, will get those pics up ASAP

These were taken on a camera fone so they're not the best quality pics, but you get the idea. I started them indoors around the middle of March and moved them outside arnd the end of April. There's 2 types, Passion#1 and Purple Power. Have just started feeding them with Bio Bizz Bio-Gro. First time using it as I usually mix my own nutes. Will post some more pics as they grow........

best bet is to go and look for a remote abondoned shed or small old house something out of the way ,spray the place completly with weed killer ,insecticide and tidy the place a bit take up bits of wood and stones make it spotless get rid of all dust and insect eggs spray and scrub the place spotless then insulate with tin foil make sure theres a big window or space for natural light hole in the roof etc.make sure to go everyday and check for bugs and infestations on a nice day take the plants out in the open and clean the place growing outside in normal irish conditions is a watse of time and does not work its almost impossible to not have to take your plant into the house for a day or 2 because the wethers bad

man you want to put your seedlings outside for a couple of hrs every day to let them get used to the tempreture and take them in if its too bad out, plant them out in the middle of may so they can grow nice and big and strong thus yeilding much more fine erb!!:pimp:

you should of started in late feb early march then plant them outdoors mid to late may if u r goin away in july how will ur plants get food and water?? harvest wont be until october anyways but there wont b a harvest if they dont get water or nutrients for a month!!:rasta:

[irishbubbles]

can anybody tell me when my plants will start flowering outdoors in ireland,i planten them in a greenhouse in feb, now their all up to the roof but theres no sign of them flowering yet, can anybody help me on this as its my first time growing outdoors, thanks

[SayCheese]

they will start to flower when the light sent the plant to flower mode, this occurs about Sep/Oct in Ireland, about 12h Sun/ 12h Dark

if you want to flower early you must make sure that they get no light for 12 hours a day, put them into a shed for 12h everyday or wait for mother nature to do it for you, but be careful for bud rot, you might want to try flower early.

Put up pics mate, lets see these plants.

Hi, my first time asking anyone anything about this, i have 3 alaskan ice and 3 himalayan gold all about 2 to 3 foot high and have then in normal big buckets, i got 6 black ones in discount store and put lots of holes in them . but now i want to put them into the soil as i read your advice on manure and its fucking everywhere around me. i checked today and no white hairs as i only put them out 2 weeks ago on the 9 july at 2 feet high.

so can i still put them in the ground and at 4 feet high at finish what is the usual amount if i just let them grow without topping them ? just an average is all i would like, i am hoping 2 to 3 oz a plant.
appreciate the help,.......thanks.

Also i grew blue cheese by big buddha, the white dwarf was 10/10 i grew indoors maybe 12 to 18 grams per plant, but so so beautiful but the blue cheese all died 3 weeks into flower in doors ???? i mean YELLOW LEAVES im growing 5 years and lost the plot over it, it looks like the phosphourus is taking up the nit as i put the powder on the top of the soil. i do know what the fuck happened but i lost a major high, i just took the 3 week bud and dried it and , after growing euphoria, this shit would have made me stay awake all night, i will try again but anyone one knows what may have happened, sorry i do not have any pics yet but will have some of the outdoor once the flowers begin.
any help guys, its a tight city for the info i need.

Use your own mix of soil and dig a hole in the ground do the same procedure you would at home when planting the seed,Plant it when the days are getting long, in a sheltered area like in a corner near a hedge make sure it can get sunlight all day long or as much as possible, put chicken wire around it to stop dogs and other animals using it as a toilet and things like that then put slug pellets in a ring around it, check it every day depending on your mix you may need to use a feed in the flowering stage. tip: always make sure you've loads a pellets around it to protect it from those evil slugs, have heavy duty plastic hidden nearby incase of a freak weather change like frost or really bad rain forcast. hope this helps.. ive set up a website too for us irish growers too.. not sure if i can post it here incase i get kicked for spamming but here is my email anyway if u need any help ([email protected]):rastasmoke:

[fanwaeire]

Any suggestions on type of seeds to get? It will be my first time ever, freaking out a bit. Do they need light before going outdoors? what about pesticides? I wanna go the organic way :hippy:

[loststix]

:thumbsup:fanwaeire
hey good on ya
i did my own grow last year and looking abou this year for something.
I was thinking of going for early girl, Red Cherry Berry.
But i think i am going with Amnesia Lemon as 9 to 10 week flowering.
you would want to be looking for short flowering period on what ever you get.
mine last year wasn't ready till the end of october.

will have a list of what i think are good seeds cheap enough that if goes tits up, not out of pocket to bad
:Early Durban, Sugar Haze, Hash Passion, Northern Lights(shop around as price varies alot) and hollands hoop and thats all i can think of that you will get growing and done before the cold snap.

light before hand is good, but i use something like this on my window sill a Heated Propagator. the plants grow with the sunlight.

Heated Propagator (http://www.garden4less.co.uk/heated-propagators.asp)

when you use lights you have to bring the plants out into the shade for a few days. Or if you bring them straight out they will burn and if they are small will die.

what about pesticides i hear you say, well the answer is nature has its own.
i havent had any problems i havent heard of any needed with out side, i may of been lucky.

the organic way can be done and can get good results just you may not get the yeild of the plant stated on the pack.
but you may not get this till ya have a few under your belt.
you should get hold of a ph meter check your soil now and start making it right. If its to high in acid it takes time for the lime to wash in and blance out.
have a look on the net for growing flowers outside in ireland alot of tips and advice that crosses over.

Another thing i would say to you to do is grow some sort of low ryder in may june time.
this way you can see what the flowers look like, how they grow, how to cut them and then how to dry and cure them.
this way you have smoke and can taste the difference of cured and non cured smoke.:stoned:
as you can rush to smoke your pride and joy.:rastasmoke:

well best of luck and wish ya well
i might do a grow log this year on my out door grow so keep an eye out
any thing else just ask:jointsmile:

[fanwaeire]

Hey loststix
Thanks a bunch for your lengthy reply, I was very helpfull to a novice like me :thumbsup:
I will take all these advices on board and hopefully everything will go well. Since you offered to answer more of my questions I have a couple more (they kept coming once I'd posted my feed...)
-Where's the best place to buy seeds, there are so many websites I'm not sure which one to pick.
-Do you know anything about seaweed fertilizer (i'm thinking of making my own)
-Do low ryders need to be put under light, friends of mine seem not to think so. You read and hear so many different things it's hard to know what to do
-would you put the babies straight in a polytunnel or start them indoors first?
I hope I'm not pushing my luck with all my questions, be as brief as you want!
Thanks for your time, i'll keep you posted on my progress (i hope they'll be successfull haven't had a smoke in soooooo long, since I moved to a new part of the country and don't know any1 in the area yet :( )

[loststix]

i know how ya feel we moved to a new place aswell.
fucking sucks balls lucky i had some smoke put away for it:jointsmile:

well i have just brought some seeds of irish seed bank as they take laser.
From what i have read about them they are ok, but i dont know will tell ya when i get the seeds and how they go.
they have a good range and not to dear, so i was happy.
you could try to see if there is a local grow shop to ya.
i did buy my 1st seeds from a head shop but these as far as i know are all gone.
there might be one in northen ireland if this isn't to far away for ya.

The thing i do with seaweed is mix it in after i wash it(its the salt i worry about) to my soil in dec/jan for out side.
seaweed fert is great for plants if ya know how to do this let us know.
as i have done a little looking around and it seems to be great on plants.

i do use this nettle fertilser which may help
Nettle brew.
You will requireâ?¦
1. A strong pair of gloves and clothes that cover all skin within stinging distance of the nettles.

2. A sharp pair of garden clippers.

3. A canvas or hessian bag and a few bricks.

4. 20 litres of collected rainwater.

5. One kilogram (2 ¼ pounds) of nettles.

6. A watertight drum or barrel to accommodate 20 litres, complete with a tight-fitting lid.

Firstly, harvest your nettles by cutting young stems, which have not flowered yet. Cut before June, these are full of sap ideal for fertiliser production.
Chop them up with the clippers and crush them with your gloved hands as you place them into the canvas or hessian bag. This will speed up the release of nettles fertiliser elements.

Tie off the top of the sack once it is filled with approx one kilogram of nettles, and then place it in the base of the drum. Before pouring in your water, you should place a brick or two on top of the sack to prevent it floating to the top.

Donâ??t forget to place the tight-fitting lid on to the barrel, as nettle brew tends to get rather smelly. In fact, if you have an issue with nasty niffs, then I suggest the barrel is located way down the garden.

Leave the mix to brew for about three or four weeks before you consider applying it. When the time comes, mix it in your watering can at a rate of ten parts water to one part nettle brew, then water liberally around your plants.

As the resulting feed is high in Nitrogen, I recommend watering it especially onto those plants which require leafy or upright growth, e.g. lettuce, cabbage, lawns, sunflowers etc., but virtually all plants will receive a welcome boost.

i took this from Garden Design in Galway, Ireland. Tree Surveys, Landscape Layouts (http://www.gardenplansireland.com)
Get some garden websites i use the nettle fert and does no harm

low ryders need warm soil to grow well they dont need lights if done over may/june time.
the other reason i said to grow low ryders is you get to practice cutting drying cureing before you have 6oz to do off one plant.
a low ryder should get an oz or near it per plant.
and after ya have done that and we have good weather you could end up near to 12/14 oz of one of ur own plants.
then ya know the work load.


with all seedlings i use a propagator dont need a heated one when its warm.
but handy to have a heated one. they can be got cheap unheated bout 10eruo heated from 40 euro up depending on the size.

i dont put babies out side as one little bastard of a fucking slug can kill
FUCKING SLUGS:mad:
So i start them indoors till there about 6/8 in high then a slug wont kill them.

Can you answer me this will you be growing in a large polytunnel?
or just the low one that you then take off when plants get bigger?

hope that helps :hippy:
any more just ask

[fanwaeire]

Aww man, you are soooo good to me, thanks again for the tips.
We are going to make our own polytunnel, nothing huge, but it'll also have to accomodate food stuff, not just smoke stuff. I just thing it might be easier and safer to put the plants in there:420thought: A bit paranoiad bout anyone seeing them...
For the heated propagator I read a good trick: Reptile Heating mat, much cheaper and from what I read on some gardening forums, as efficient as the real thing, and since I already have one it won't cost me a dime! (the snake has been missing from the tank for the past couple of weeks, god knows where the lil buggar is hiding!)
I can't wait to get the nettle thingy going, it sounds like a big adventure, hehehe.
I'm still looking for seeds but thanks to your suggestions I've narrowed my search, (there are soooo many, it's headwrecking), will order them over the next couple of weeks.
Pleasure sharing tips wid ya, happy growing:rasta::greenthumb:

[loststix]

if ya going to be growning in a polytunnel you need to get a strain that is mold resistant.
hollands hoop,Early Girl and The Church are mold resistant.
this most likely fucked with what you were going to grow.
and you would want to pinch it out to stop it getting to big for the polytunnel.
find out the average height it grows when goes into flowering.
so that you can have it pinched out before it gets to big and flowering at the same time.
Reptile Heating mat i must check this out might be handy for low ryders in the green house.
if ya need any thing else shout always about

[Dexter007]

growing out doors in ireland is waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
weather is way do bad..2cold and not enaugh sun..
if your plants dont die,your budds will end up crapyand scaby,,,
im living in irl so im quit sure what im sayng..stick with indoors...

kc brains ,some dutch passion , female seeds and hybrids from hell stuff does excellent here

early durban (dp) does well in the uk

looked at sugar haze, dont think it has any chance, hash passion sounds intersting, dont see many nl despite its suppose to finish, mold problems perhaps?






what about pesticides i hear you say, well the answer is nature has its own.
i havent had any problems i havent heard of any needed with out side, i may of been lucky.





tobacco spray

id advise against lowrdyers and get mi5s or sour60s or some early canadians

the nettle tee is trully amazing stuff, look in to other types of tee , never have to buy any outdoor nutes again



buy seeds from attitude seed bank, cheaper , good deals and great seletion


if your growing in a tunnel you need a fan and proper ventilation, church would not do well in one imo + its shit smoke

is the tunnel necessary btw?

it is hard to believe that dank can be grown in the irish climate however if you but the work in the results are mind blowing and the yield can definitely be improved:)

in my experience no dealer weed has come close to irish outdoor bud in any way

why would you get ''caught'' seeds are legal, press has been hounding about them this week. attitude for seeds.


any one visit killerdope.ie when it was running?

[loststix]

i chose those types of seed's as they are easy to grow and the church is very resistant to mold and grows well in humid area's like in a tunnel.
sugar haze is forgiving plant to grow and for a beginner and mold resistant but not as much as the others, but short flowering time.
i meant to say some sort of auto-flower my bad.
tobacco spray i must look into this havent hear of it before.
Ya can grow some good clean weed just wont get such big yeilds as others but can be grown to cover ur use for the year.

any more advice chip in all the more needed really as not much for our own growing conditions.

[werzo321]

sugar haze is sounding interesting, when does it finish? cheap enough, what was the smoke like?

[werzo321]

reed up on it and doesnt sound too great, surely your running clones?

[loststix]

it ends end of oct by seed but shorter if cloned inside then put out mid july ends then mid early oct
its a head high and not too big of main colas but alot of side buds
i do run clones inside and then plant out side aswell

you could start them off in a green house in may or end of may should be enough heat in the ground then.
but you should be out now preparing the ground and getting ur shit together.
all the rest is in the form and welcome by the way joined and posted the same day. read the rest of the post and ya will get all the info needed.

as for how many grams that depends on you!
you could get up to 800g or 100g depends on seeds soil how high can grow them are they in ur back yard planted out wild what?

bt im tinkin of hvin a few not so high
im tinkin of goin wit purple power nd early girl are dey gud yielders??

When is the earliest I could possibly start germinating Lowryder #2 seeds for outdoor guerilla grow?

I have seen a lot of scary, hope destroying information around and also some people just saying 'they will grow grand, sure'. I'm a first time grower and I'm not looking for any miracles for now. Even if I made an eight of good bud per plant - as riddiculous as it sounds I know - it would be a massive, massive money saver for me and much higher quality bud than what I am used to.

How soon could I start? Should I use the soil where I am putting the plants or throw some bought product into the hole? What are the realistic chances of getting any bud at all without the plants dying ... and how soon could that happen?

Thanks for any advice.

i think i didnt have anything out till half way through may last year so still a good while till cracken lowryders.Dont know much about autos but id imagine 2 weeks under cfl, same as others will do well .Weathers been crazy this year so im waiting a to see how summer comes along and when frosts are over.


start prepping holes now by turning soil over and throwing in manure, bllod bone meal, fert pellets and store soil etc

lidl/aldi has some cheep stuff atm


if you want bud
no bullshit
no worrying
no fucking about

get kc36 or hybrids from hell hashplant

[Morpheus22]

Is it not possible to just germinate outdoors? I have heard of Lowryders being germinated on windowsills.

I'm sharing a flat and I'd rather not ramp up the bills with indoor lighting.

[werzo321]

windowsills perfect, but you could get 2 power cords and 2 11 watt cfl bulbs for a nothing

might help ppl out
Lowryders being germinated on windowsills need to be kept warm.
i did grow a lowryder#2 last year

these were grown last year in a little green house
and with the snow we had outside can be done
but with the cold weather they will be stunted growth
but i got just under 3oz of 3 plants
but with the summer ones i almost got 5oz
the cold weather does effect them

interesting, any way to see more records from previous years?

[HappyDazeEire]

i grw a few hollonds hope every year outdoors without much problum,great strain, old/unused factory grounds have soome great spots to grow, find a spot with a small bit of cover an your laughin. i start in mid june an finish mid september.

[Opo420]

Guys, going to be growing outdoors this year myself.

Where would be the best place to buy seeds?

[Opo420]

Alright, I just ordered my 10 White Widow skunk seeds :D Should be here next week all going well.

And hopefully 4 months down the line I will be pretty high lol!

Might do a grow log for you guys, I always feel it gives you a extra boost to go out and do it yourself. But its my first time and Im not too optimistic about the return.

you should of gone with a hardier strain, im no expert but i dont know if white widow is great for our climate

[werzo321]

theres early skunks and widows so i dont think that one stands much chance:(

[Opo420]

thats what was recommended to me from a guy growing in Uk. (outdoor)
Might keep them so for indoors down the line.

What strain would you guys reccomend?

keep in mind certain parts of the uk, SE for example get fuck all rain compared to us and white widow could possiblygrow overthere far better

im getting some auto flowering strains like lowryder 2 for outdoors after 1 month indoors, imalso doing normal strains of durban poison, purple power and maybe early girl, these are all supposed to be pretty good for our poxy summers

[Dexter007]

any of yous living araound co louth area,i would be happy 2 buy few clones of yous..:jointsmile:

durban poison and pp will to very well, lr2 is a waste imo and if the early girl is sensi's i wouldnt bother, sensi seem to have gone to shit.

[may1984]

why do u think that on lr2

[may1984]

hey werzo why is kc 36 so great for our climate, im finding it hard to find femised ones although ithey are relatively cheap for a pack of regular, which hybrids from hh you on about

[werzo321]

why do u think that on lr2

better strains for less


hey werzo why is kc 36 so great for our climate, im finding it hard to find femised ones although ithey are relatively cheap for a pack of regular, which hybrids from hh you on about

kc33 does great in ireland, kc36 is faster and smellier though.

kc brains is offering fems from his site, i think this is the first year he's doing them.

All the hfh gear is made for denmark so it'll do great here.

Thinking of growing some Hollonds Hope myself. Could I bother you with a few (loads) questions on your grow. Do you germinate these before putting them out or are you starting the growth indoors? What yield are you seeing of each plant?

[petrugio]

Will try this year some Swiss Cheese (7th from bottom) nirvana female pot seeds (http://www.allsalvia.co.uk/nirvana_feminised.htm)

[petrugio]

description says it is for outdoors .....the seed are germinating already (indoor) ....will see how they do....
Thanks anyway

descriptions are 9/10 bullshit

[loststix]

descriptions are 9/10 bullshit

yeah there is a lot of bull with those selling their seeds
but they know how to get the best out of the plants
then take that average
but if u look about for seeds some sites have word for word same descriptions
pity they didnt grow them their selfs
and give a report

[ronnieboy]

im nearly finished a grow in the bog ill get back to you

[ronnieboy]

Ronnieboy, I've been trying to pm you and can't seem to do so. Nevertheless I'm very interested in the concept of bog weed as bog is in abundance down my manor. Please get back to me if you so wish, I'm all ears.

[HortKid88]

hi all, i'm new to the site. i've read many of the posts about outdoor grows in ireland but lets face it, nearly every outdoor grow is site specific. i've a few questions about this and would be very appreciative if ye could help me out. Thanks in advance dudes!

So basically i'm not living in ideal conditions for an indoor grow...the folks might sniff me out if ive 4 plants growing in me room :weedpoke:

i'm fairly confident about germinating and propagating the seeds until they're a suitable size to plant outdoors. it's the niggly bits and perhaps lack of tlc with the plants once they've been planted outdoors thats worrying me. so here it goes; say i got some hardy auto-flowering seeds, began germinating them in late feb.,grew them on until late march - early april until the soil gets a bit warmer, literally cleared off a site in a near-by forestry and planted the young plants here and checked them every 2 weeks or so and waited for the moment of truth, el harvesto.

firstly, i dont have any growing lights. would this be a problem for growing-on seedlings to 12"?
do you have any reccomendations for an auto-flowering variety of seed?
what are the chances of a successful grow?
what would the harvest be like considering the shorter growing period with the auto-flowering varieties?
what pests would be a problem?
would nutes need to be added?
have any of ye ever used auto-flowering seeds? potent smoke?

cant think if i've any more questions guys...im sure i do. just cant remember. i suppose i'm after asking enough, cant be too greedy with my first post eh!

eager to see what answers i get. peace dudes! :hippy:

dig a hole first to see what the water level/retention is like. And check the ph. probably low and you would have to start liming now.

grow lights = cfls= look up micros cabs

autos = have alook at kannabia,mdanzig,short stuff seeds. Would recomend growing out non autos though, female seeds easy sativa or purple maroc are grand and fem.



nutes/pests= read up

dont plant out till last frost and find a plot that gets great sun

[muddled]

windowsills perfect, but you could get 2 power cords and 2 11 watt cfl bulbs for a nothing

Would these really work to start to start them off? I want thinking of investing in one of the indoor gardens-grow your own herbs in the winter, such as the Garland Indoor Grow Garden, becuase it is full spectrum. Have you had good experience with with the cfl? I have tried growing a few times and it has been a disaster. I need it to work this time. :-)

[grotmaster]

Will do so when it gets a bit drier. And I'm pretty the ph is down there with H2SO4! Seen galvanised steel road barriers rust away like weetaix after a few years in there.

Story lads
I live in Kerry near a town but I am surrounded by farmland I found a spot to grow.Hears my questions
1.How often will I need to check up on it
2.Show I give plant food like Tomato feed
3.I cant do anything in my house because I live with my dad so I dont really know how to dry it if its survives
4.What should I do to Germinate the seeds
