Preparation is key start seedlings indoors pick a site that gets sun at least 8 hours or more make sure risk of frost has gone may onwards to plant out is a good bet if in UK.check out northern lights seeds by seedstockers great hardy strain and good price.

Don't use molasses to feed plants outside it will attract all the wild life and they will destroy your plants.lve learned this the hard way.

Me to its the sweet syrupy mixture they love it little fu..ERS.

I've never understood if cannabis is a tropical plant or not. Theres all this Jamaican and Thai lore but then you have Northern Cali and Canada.

It's not a tropical plant as such, it's a weed. Just like nettles and shit. It doesn't really "belong" anywhere because weeds spread fast and will grow (to a point) anywhere. It's usage goes back thousands of years so it's been around long before the Americas had been discovered - it's earliest origins is probably Central Asia.

Defo worth it mate....
I live in east sussex and has really good luck a few years ago with a outdoor crops,got about 3oz a plant and didn't use anything just sunlight. Went to check on them once every two weeks so didn't take up any time. Just remember to raise them up indoors an use a mold resistance strain that doesn't require alot of up keep..
Good luck and would love to see a pick after your first grow

What strain you recommend

Raise them up indoors? Like sprout them then replant outside? Or once they get to flower bring them inside?

I think they mean germinate the seeds, then plant them inside, let the seedlings grow a bit before taking them outside instantly.

If you have unknown seeds, once they're more mature, I'd keep an eye out if there's any males, you wouldn't want them to pollinate your females and take away all that goodness!

This grower has some very legit reasons only grow outdoor real soil

Check on YouTube for a UK grower called Outdoor Warrior. That will answer your question mate :)

A couple of good strains perfect for guerilla growing in our climate are frisian duck and frisian dew, both by Dutch Passion seeds.

Love that you spelled guerilla right!

Exactly this!

Get your seeds from real gorilla seeds and you will be fine. They're bullet proof plants developed by UK guerilla growers and tested in Northern latitudes.

About £6 for a feminised seed.

amazing! thanks for this! I think I checked out there site before but didn't realise they were from uk.

RGS are legends in the U.K. check out YouTube videos PANIK GROWS, that’s the legend behind RGSeeds.

Outdoor grows in the U.K. that look like it’s in Cali lol. They been doing it for over 15 years

Aw mate. all over this! thanks for sharing bud!! Not sure if the weather would have been suitable this year with all the rain (where I am) but next year i'm thinking of it for sure! love a bit of outdoor bud.

I do a small outdoor grow most years, use autoflowers, average something like 3 or 4 dry oz per plant, at 53 degrees north and 130 metres above sea level. Its easy till they start to flower, once the buds are there shake the dew of them every morning, sheet them down if its raining or misty. Never considered selling any though, just stay really baked until its all gone, save a fortune, definitely worth it, everything tastes better when you grow it yourself.

I hear you & totally agree, I have an amphetamine auto, white widow, gorilla glue and west coast og all thriving and frosting up nicely all outside growing naturally with basil,mint, coriander.peppermint and pepper as companion plants (all terps).
Couple of weeks left & I should get a nice Percy. Few photoperiods on the go as well, I hope to beat the weather. All natural all bless.
Is it best to harvest at night when all the terps are locked in? Just a thought

Little project we have at the minute, the picture is like a stoners wheres wally haha. Done completely as a hobby, none of this will ever make our LB menu lol

Auto Durban Poison :)

Why not for sale my man? I would rather buy weed that hasn’t grown up in prison.

The buds will be loose a fuck mate, not compact in the slightest, zero bag appeal lol. First time iv done this as well, way harder than growing indoors!! Shit load of thricomes on the autos though, the photos are due to start pistolling soon i reckon :)
ULC

Good luck with it all pal, looks can be deceiving it’s a shame outside isn’t appreciated like it should be. Real sunlight is underestimated and undervalued, I suppose it’s all about the bag appeal and crazy thc levels

Cheers mate, yeah could have the highest THC level going, but if it doesnt look the part its not gonna sell! Even though it all goes in the grinder, theres no reasoning with a lot of people lol :)

exactly my thoughts Guvnor. be lucky Gaz

Thats a lot of green!! Looking at some outdoor options myself this year so any advise would be appreciated.

Its addictive as fuck mate, you've got to have the time though and it takes a shit load of time, especially getting started.

Choosing a good spot is vital. Theres a lot to factor in such as the logistics, chances of being rumbled, the quality of the soil if growing in the ground, the amount of direct sunlight they will be getting, wildlife, water sources etc.

Unless you find good nitrogen rich soil (nettles are a good indicator) id suggest growing in pots. Buy seeds that are suitable for our climate, we used Dutch Passions Frisian Dew/Duck, Sour Diesel, Durban Poison and a couple of others i cant remember now. Dutch passion is a good choice of seedbank though.

Start the seedlings off indoors around March and veg as much as you can indoors before taking them outside.

Canna Nutrients/Advanced Nutrients are always a good choice, or you can just grow organically, you will defo notice the difference though.

Like i say, once you start its really addictive. We started off with loads of enthusiasm but had to scale back halfway through due to other commitments. If you go on YouTube and watch the likes of UK Field Ninja and a few others you can get a feel of what is possible.

Dont listen to what people say, theres massive potential for outdoor growing if you put the graft in and do it right mate. Its a myth that outdoor stuff isnt potent as well, the Frisian Dew and Durban blew our heads off, and after a good cure it smelt just as good as indoor. Granted it well never have the same bag appeal as good indoor stuff, but if its for personal consumption it will definitely do the trick.

Theres a shit load of stuff iv not touched on cos i could be typing all night, but if you want to know anything just give us a shout and we will help if we can :)

ULC

Seeing these and your post above is the final push I needed to do a bit of wild growing this year! :D

cheers for sharing mate

Get it done mate. YouTube videos help. It's all trial and error on your first but the next year is when you'll get everything spot on. Just pick your spot wisely!!

All my buds are grown, in the Great outdoors, in the UK.

Whats the best times to start a gorilla grow in uk and harvest ?

Germinate and veg indoors for a few weeks if you can, then transfer outside early/mid april. Different strains have different harvest times, late september is a good rough estimate though :)

Auto end of May, after the last frost, ready for end of Aug, would be easy for first timer. Now is ideal time of Year to explore, for a site.

Wow thats awesome!
Whats the odour like on the strains you grow outside doing the last few weeks?

Absolutely stinking mate. That's why the spot you pick has to be waaaaaaaa off anywhere anyone would pass. Only things about where I was were wildlife

Great information mate. The soil around my area is pretty bad so will definitely look at using pots. I’m sure I’ll be in touch if I start struggling mate.

No problem at all mate :)

Yes almost impossible to pay too much for great seeds

Should we get this thread up and running again in anticipation for spring?

Who's trying it this year? Been up the British mix on guerilla seeds for a while now. Anyone have experience with them?

Autos and indoors are what’s mainly listed on here mate

If you can write a love song to it yes. Otherwise fuck that.

One of my favourite sayings comes to mind.. "Better to be looking at them, than looking for them" ;) If I had the private space I would def give it a go. Ive had many successful yields, nothing to strong but sawl good....

All depends on your latitude;)

Not on here mate unless selling dirt cheap. Pardon the pun. They call that bush weed for a reason. The light and feed / Ph is the main parts of growing to get max potency.
The natural way is too inferior in these climates sadly.

Autoflowers are your friend! Or anything with a short flowering time :)

Outside all the way but not in uk , one of the best smokes I get every year is from Thailand it's all grown outside and if you know the right people and ask for whore ..lol.. you'll get proper bud not brickweed, my point is the right seeds ,climate and conditions will always win any battle , thai weed is strainless just the deep green and smell will make you realise why it should be grown outside

When i first read the topic, i was a bit puzzled.
Depends on where you live, climate, etc. But i think it is worth it anyways.

My 5 cents:
My opinion, and i am quite radical, is that the indoor growing should totally be cancelled.

I surely understand need and function of the indoor growing in the current mad world where nature is brutally 'illegalised', but plants that have never been kissed by the sun just don't cut it for me somehow.

Good luck with the grow brother.

I have this issue with my wallet, lately. I'm not sure why, but it is very frustrating. I've found that I can send my full balance to another wallet an lowest priority, but that can take a week for low amounts. I've contacted support (my wallets support) and they just play the run around game. Never seen this happen before. Not even when BTC value increased about 2 yrs ago. Very odd!

The capsules will be on my wall for sale next week.
