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
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!

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.
