Outdoor Growing in Ireland

[IREDARREN]

Right lads, time to get up off my hole and start growing...is it too late this year? Fuck it, i don't care, just gonna find a decent spot and put them down and hope for the best!!! THANK YOU!!!

Any reports, good or bad from last years attempts?

Yeah I'm interested too. I'm growing outdoors this year actually, first grow, im so shocked at how easy it is. I'm getting a Dslr in a week so i can start posting a few pics. My babies are 14 days old from seed and about 2/3 inches high, that fast or slow ?
I'll get a mini greenhouse on Friday for my balcony, should hide it from prying eyes.
Anyone else growing outside this year ?

I lobed about 30 seeds into a germinator last week and they all sprouted ! usually you lose like 30% that don't so i got loads of tiny sprouts..... Going to giving some away to mates but i have a perfect place to grow at the end of my back garden it's south facing so looking at throwing a couple down there will stick the other few up in the attic which i have just converted should be fun!

Iâ??m a first time grower, bought 5 feminised white widow seeds and started them off in small pots on my windowsill. I germinated all 5 in tissue paper in the hot press but only 2 grew out.

I transplanted them into larger pots and placed them into this cheapo mini-plastic greenhouse. Iâ??m finding the growth rate slow enough so I added a slow release fertilizer pellet containing mostly nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. As they stand now (after topping the centre shoot) theyâ??re 18â?� and 15â?�.

Unfortunately I didnâ??t keep track of any dates of germination, planting or when I put them outside so I dont really know where I'm at?

Nice Ronnie, are you vegging or flowering ?

[RonnieJamesDio]

Still in vegatative state but the plants don't seem to be growing that over fast.I suppose I'm happy enough with the overall development with height, stem thickness and side branching.I think topping has shocked the plants so their growth willl be stunted for a few days.

After harvesting the buds I was wondering will the plants live on for another crop next year?

[axlcinema]

Was researching this myself, it seems you could (don't know about outside) but many ppl suggest its not worth the effort to get the plant to re-veggitate. They are an annual plant, they make their seed n die

[RonnieJamesDio]

I might try to clone the plants and then do my best to keep the alive indoors over the winter.I suppose when it comes to flowering I just have to wait and let nature take its course.I'm not sure but from reading around I'll probably be looking at a Sept/Oct harvest and the plants have another 2 months to grow big.As a novice grower I find waiting for the result the hardest especially smoking that soap bar shit.

Thank god for the good sunny weather hope it keeps up for the rest of the summer to maximize the potential crop
