This years guerilla grow in France

Back in France for a little while. Germinated 4 seeds in a cup 5 weeks ago and planted in pots. This year I have gone high tech. I set up a watering system. A 25 litre tub with a little pump, has a built-in rechargeable battery. Set it to water every 3rd day. Each pot gets about half a litre each time, rain comes as well but this saves the day when it's dry for a while. Tub was empty when I returned, away for 5 weeks. Tub contained plain water, next week will fill and add liquid Tomato feed, high in potassium for bud growth. 3 of the plants auto melonade runtz. 1 auto chocolate cream. The one in the smaller pot will go in a 25 litre tub later today.
These should be ready for harvest end July, will then plant 4 autos. Have fem melonade runtz plus plenty of regular hollands hope from last year. Will be going back to UK next week but hoping for a nice harvest when I return.
Will scout around for a new site for the regular seeds. They will have a watering system as well.
Took some pics, well hidden from view.

Hi, no it's not allowed but it's got a good climate for it down the south west here. Last year it was very wet end September and October. Came over to some bud rot and very small harvest, had been very dry in the summer first time I've had rot here. I think autos early on then photos later is the way here.
 
Back in the UK, I'm in the city so an outdoor grow would be very difficult. I have spotted a flat roof I can access but risky going there to top up the water container. Too many eyes in the city. Recently started indoors but something special with outdoor growing.
 
looks like a nice protected spot with light accsess. good luck with it, should be a great year for plants outdoors
 
Hi Kid
Yes the weather forecast is looking good for June, even when there's no rain the morning dew helps and the watering system keeps them going.
 
Repotted the one in the small pot. It's an auto but hopefully it won't hold it back. Applied some feed. High in potassium for the buds. Filled the water tub as well.

I go over next week. I hope the plants are ok. The weather has been very hot there and little rain. I hope my watering system has lasted. The next 7 days look very hot, high 30's centigrade.
I also forgot to put liquid feed in the water, even though I bought a bottle. I put granules of feed on the surface which should have fed them for a couple of weeks.
This guerilla growing is a worry when you're not around.
I think from now on this is the only way I will use autos, so I have a summer harvest. Not impressed with them in my grow room. They say 10 weeks but take me 16 weeks and small yield . About an Oz a plant.
Next week will soak some female seeds and plant in cups then repot in the big pots when the autos are harvested.
I wonder will autos finish sooner outdoors or in?
