Any uk outdoor growers out there?

[andie666]

Hya,

It's fascinating reading about all the activity going on outdoors in the US and I was just wondering how other growers in the Uk are getting on?

I have a lovely lady tucked away outside and she has just started going into flower, first pistills came through last week, she's about 2 foot tall with lots of new growth coming too. Should be looking about beginning of November to crop, hopefully avoiding any frost

I will post some pics later on today

:hippy:

Ye I'm in the UK get them pictures up soon!

I am growing two, the more mature one turnt out to be male (my first ever grow was just seeing how it'd go) and I have another smaller plant, waiting for it to show sex, hopefully it will be a female.

See my thread .

Here ya go Would love to see some pics of yours aswell.

I also put two out, both started inside then moved to the ground at about 10 inches. One grew much faster than the other, very tall and lanky but turned out to be male and had to be pulled, risk you take with bagseed I suppose.

She looks like she's doing ok though, just hope she can make it full term...

Theres the links to my pics, where abouts in the UK you from ? Im south east

[andie666]

Ahh yes, I'd already looked at it without realising it was you lol. It's heartbreaking when you get a male, spend all that time nurturing then wham, you realise it's no good :-(

I'm in East Anglia, be interesting to know which part of England is best for growing, would it be south west??

You'll be alright if stinky's advising you though, she knows!

This is a top down view of my little plant, isit too early to tell the sex?

[andie666]

Can't see clearly enough on your pic, this is the best picture I've been shown on what to look for... hope it helps

Ah k definately not reading for determing sex then

[andie666]

Ohh...lots of you looking but only kreaser responding :-(

Would love to know what stage everyone else is at and how much difference there is keeping the girls in pots as opposed to planting in the ground.

I wonder if you are still around Andie (etc)

I am in the N.W. UK

Last year I planted 6 Early Girls, that finished up in large (5 gallon size) pots. I gave one to a friend to grow on in his back garden.

I got 3 Males and 2 Hermies ( stress caused by the lousy Summer I guess)

The "loaned" one was a Girl, but it wasn't loved properly and only yielded a few small buds !! - Typical !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This year I have 3 of the same lot of seeds growing well so far and as this years Summer is much nicer than last, I have "high" hopes

Just been researching about potting on, like when to, and how big a pot for use from now to harvesting. They are about 2.5 feet tall and in 8 inch pots at present, just starting to produce bits of root from the bottom of the pots.
I am using Miracle Grow compost from B&Q.

Would you go for an intermediate pot now (early July in the UK) or go straight to a big one ?

Best regards to all, J in the N.W. UK
