Scottish Outdoor Growing

[Meat wagon]

howdy, im having another try at growing outside this year, strains are as follows!

Afghan kush - 5 seeds (reg
Timewarp - 5 seeds (reg
Purple maroc - 6 seeds (fem
Jamaican OG - 5 seeds (reg
Blueberry headband - 2 seeds (fem
Frisian dew - 2 seeds (fem
Easy sativa - 2 seeds (fem
Kiwi skunk - 2 seeds (fem
Outdoor C99 - 2 seeds (fem
Amnesia lemon - 1 seed (fem

some are going straight in the ground and some are going in some plastic flexible pots partially buried to keep the roots cool!

the ones that are going in straight in the ground, the holes are getting some fbb, seaweed meal, lime, brewers yeast, bat guano, and some farmyard manure, and the ones in the pots are getting all the above but with compost instead of natural soil!

paper towel method until they crack then in to small cups with compost untill there big enough to go outside, only using a 48w cfl in a small 1x2x2 box made of scrap wood, and a fan for air flow.

plot pics to follow in the next week.

Sounds like a plan.
I'm doing Purple Maroc and Frisian Dew this year myself.

yeah, been planning this for about 6 months doing research on the inter webs. from what i've read FD & PM are pretty reliable strains when it comes to the uk weather! best of luck to you

Subed too, i would like to see how it goes, i dont know anybody who grows outdoors here. Bet with the weather we are having you will be able to plant them outside quite early. Take it easy.

 

[Meat wagon]

thank you! i need all the luck i can get.

im going for a mid April plant out date, starting the seeds as we speak.

I hope they finish up for you. The lighting situation creates very late finishers in the Northern Hemisphere in my experience.

Good luck with it.

scottish outdoor growing is somewhat of an oxymoron

One of my plots is just like that, gorse can make for perfect grow spots.

copper tape loosely on the main stem and maybe slug pellets if needed.
