Any uk outdoor growers out there?

[johni-n-the-nw-uk]

Unlikely to be able to get cuttings as I am pretty much on my own regarding this subject here.


As mentioned earlier, the 1 plant I had 3 (or was it 4) years ago went just fine.
The funny thing was it produced great buds in late August, this is well before 12 / 12 so I reckon it mast have been the type known as "auto-flowering" ?

Thinking next year to try a Lowryder auto-flowering plant from feminised seed, start them off early(ish) on the window sill, and hope for the best.

Do ya reckon this is a good idea ?

i got 4 roadrunner feminized auto seeds this year 2 of them went into a green house (beg aug)bit late but they both died two wks ago and the other two are at a friends house doing ok .


if u are going with auto riders maybe try the non-fem seeds just plant more.. u can get a 10 pack there not that exspensive!


the fem seeds are very sensative to any change and will hermie if treated wrong man

it is strange that u never got a female from those 3 plants again its a 50/50 chance with a regular seed.



peace and love

Good info, glad you told me that - thanks :thumbsup:

True, 10 in total over 2 years in a sealed packet from a local "head shop", the only one that worked was not treated properly by the nearby neighbour I gave it to, (as a seedling) and though female, produced only a small amount of "product".

From a bit of research I think it might be to do with our poor summer weather recently. The pots, compost, watering and modest feeding etc were all lovingly looked after.

Appreciate your input friend

Anyone got any good strains that thrive outdoors in the U.K ? , my sativa bagseed is just flowering now (noticed first white hairs today) and I've been covering it for 3 weeks tomorrow,

I feel lucky only one of my seeds germinated and I ended up with a female (not trying to rub it in johnni-in-the nw), I've also got a few clone off her so I'm happy (got a feeling with my luck it may hermie).

But this is just a tester for a proper grow next year ,I just need to know anyone who's had good results outdoor in the U.K (early flowerer) and what seeds to buy.

Pics are not the best but macro on the N95 isn't that good.

Good Growin All.

Well I have now chopped them down and hung them up to dry.

I wonder if it is worth doing an Ice hash job on them ?
(I read up on it and I suppose it is "do-able")
Quite a lot of greenery present !!

Would it be worth it in your opinion ?
(They did smell OK on a warm day if that's any guide !!)

What did you use in place of the silk screen thing for filtering ?

(I know the filter has to a certain grade to allow the trikes (sp) through)
