UK outdoor growing
Hey i currently grow indoors in england, and i constantly read about 'bang on' outdoor grows. However they either don't say a location or its in america. Near my house there is waste land that is completely filled with nettles, surounded by evergreens (large space so plenty of light) and lately ive been thinking when winter comes if love to have some daddies growing in there!
Is it possible to grow in the UK?
can anyone list some strains that would suit the climate please.
Also im growing white widow indoors atm, ive got plenty of seeds so i was wondering if i could bang some of them outdoors (think the answers gonna be no but better to know)

yeh man, UK is good for growing, the nettles should discourage people from pickin your shit, so you got the site sorted, go there soon and dig out a spot you want to grow in, pick it well, and cut back foliage (it shouldnt grow back as its autumn goin on winter,) then when springtime comes start your plants off indoors and transplant them when they are about 8" tall, then sun will do the rest, just keep it watered and watch out for those bastard heatwaves! (make sure the soil is good, bring your own if you have to) and all will be good, good luck m8!

Theres a funny story to my spot actually. I live on a street where were all around the same age now but as kids this abandonded land was a perfect spot for dens
And we dug a big hole (about 1 1/2 foot deep and 5 ny 5 foot wide) so thats sorted. How do i controle bugs, and even if im under controle of them am i expected to still have bitten leaves (im an indoor grower so these problems are rare.
i imagine there gonna be a real problem in waste land

well, thats the hard part, all animals, rats, deer, dogs, cats, mice, squirrels you name it, it eats weed, so first you put up some kinda fence, one that can be easily removed,around the plants so no large predators can get to them, you may need to use quite a bit of chicken wire to keep rats out (as they chew it) try to have at least a couple layers, and dig it into the floor good, now youve got to worry about slugs, snails, spider mites and most bugs, so before you plant there, for a good few weeks spray the site with a good bug repellent/killer, try also to keep all plants seperate from other plants with AT LEST a 2 ft gap away from other plants keep spraying your site with crushed garlic in water, use a spray bottle and spray your plants in the evening (when the sun is weak) then, later on, before you go to bud, spray them all with alot of clean water to get rid of garlic residue, REMEMBER NOT TO PUT A WET PLANT INTO SUNLIGHT OR IT WILL BOIL THE WATER OFF DAMAGING THE PLANT! after doing all this your little farm will not be sly in the slightest, so you best keep watch, if thats too much trouble, just plant loads of plants all over the place, and just spend your days gettin stoned with all your plants battling off pests lol - good luck whatever you do man,

as much as you need, the stronger the better, garlic is just an example, its organic so its ok for outdoors and it will cover the smell too...

So this keeps away bugs? Also i wasnt too sure on something, i think someone sed to put garlic on in the evening so the plants dont burn. Fair enough but then they sed come back at night and spray normal water on it. Will this wash all the garlic off??
