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!

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.

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

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

Harvest at the full moon too, best time naturally the plant has the most potency

Wow this is perfect thanks, have been looking after my herbs and alliums today so hopefully they will help a lot, my neighbour said roasting it and leaving it outside is good, I’m not so sure. Do you just use soil? I’m worried with nutrients sometimes not to mess with the ph too much, I’ve been prepping my soil today, going to put my seeds in a terrarium, because I’m behind by a season, I’ve had outdoors go in to indoors and make really strong plants too, so I’m keeping the faith

Thanks for the heads up, full moon harvest for my girls,
Tbh I haven’t really used much nutrients, tried to stay away. Initially I used biobizz (fish mix organic) then eased off as I wanted this grow as natural as possible.
For Soil I’ve used your standard Westland all purpose compost in large pierced monkey tubs mixed with chicken poop.
For the flowering stage I use chopped up dried banana skins full of potassium and water those in, works a treat.
All planted with mint, basil, peppermint & a pepper plant round the sides to keep the bugs away with my autos as the centrepiece, also try saving rain water.
I like gardening anyway I have a large allotment I enjoy, it’s all good.
Good luck with everything

That’s an allotment I’d be proud of :) sounds so nice! Thanks a lot, it sounds beautiful and I’m certain the herbs add to the flavour, this is gross but my sisters BF did a home grow and I couldn’t smoke it, where he’d worked it hard indoors and natural grow it kinda just smelt sweaty lol how gross is that! I’d take outdoor anyday in the right season :)

I staggered my planting this year, been smoking my own weed for a month or so, got some almost ready and some just starting to flower now. It's been so damp and cold I built a poly tunnel over mine, some big smelly plants now, absolutely love it. , some ammo and diesel and ak so far, germinated my first seeds mid April. Good tip about the full moon, never even considered it. Good luck guys, watch out for the dreaded bud rot,.

Thanks lovely, yeah hard to guess rain fall so they can get a bit too damp I agree, I’ve been looking at cold frames, but also don’t want them too hot lol. So happy for you you’ve got a little grow for your self ❤️

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!

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.

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 :)

I suspect that as long as the price is in line with the quality there would be no issues. You could also turn it into some edibles or vape juice if you were worried about the compition on indoor grown bud.

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.

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.

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

watch your mouth aliens are very touchy about their age

Bahahaha

The fact that we didn't even have the technology or understanding 100 years ago to measure some of the precision granite boxes in egypt to the degree of accuracy in which they were built thousands of years ago, just makes it even more laughable that we're still being sold this outdated story of history... but yeah copper chisels and slaves? absolute embarrassment that this is still being taught / believed

i believe the beings that left these structures and artifacts behind and the purpose behind them will always be outside our realm of comprehension

we like to think we're an advanced intelligent species but the reality is so far from that, 99% of the earths population is just unthinking egotistical monkeys gorping at smartphones looking for the next tyrant to ironically venerate! fucking failing species.

I think its more likely that there was an ancient civilisation that was as advanced as us if not more so.

Its a good shout. I'm open to both sides being alien influenced and developing the skills ourselves...

If they had no outside influences maybe they were just differently advanced to us.. We have gone down the tech route but maybe they had something else..

Whatever that is (accessing or opening parts of the brain/consciousness etc etc) They were able to move, mold, drill and create huge structures 12,000 years plus ago... which still blows our minds troday!

That's exactly how i feel I feel like every once in a while we get advanced civilizations like us and the older ones that has been here before us they watch us and show us the way but let get real if that the case we would have good and evil with it so that my opinion.

uh huh the Primary Amazons

Read some of Graham Hancock’s work or furthermore listen to the book of Enoch (the watchers), it’s not for everyone but a fascinating listen all the same. I have also been looking at the Megalithic masonry it’s mind boggling, Puzzle!

Graham Hancock's books are amazing! There are some great vids on YouTube as well!.. Randall Carlson and Dr Robert Schoch are also worth a look as well.

Ancient Aliens has some good bits... and frustrating bits... but more of a fun watch than serious information.. lol.

Also, another good channel to watch on Youtube is Bright Insight: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrightInsight

Me? I like the young ones.

Early man has been around for over 3 million years. Homosapiens around 300,000 years. And yet the earliest academically accepted signs of structured society is around 9000 years. Calling BS there. I believe the reset button was hit on society during the Dryas period (series of meteors that caused cataclysmic events) around 13,000 years ago. If we want to find many of the old cities we would have to look under water.

As for what tech could move blocks of stone weighing 80 tons up a mountain, I believe the answer lies in acoustic levitation. Many of the stories passed down by tribes talk of noises akin to large trumpets lifting stones. It's believed the Tibetan monks still retain this ability. In my opinion N. Tesla had also discovered the secrets of acoustics.

Not even got to the aliens bits yet. Apologies if this reads garbled, I'm writing it with covid and trying to articulate many thoughts at once.

Also I believe the Sahara has a lot of things waiting to be excavated as well as the oceans 👍

Totally agree with you there. That was fertile grassland a few thousand years ago.

Well theres been ancient humans so why not lol

I do have believe in ancient aliens especially in regards to The Pyramids construction.

I do like a bit of conspiracy too... lies buried in a library of History... Or His Story

The Pyramids are very cool!

How today are we still being taught that things like the Sphinx were built by Pharaoh Khufu.. The erosion alone is enough to show its far far older than this plus the fact there isn't one document or hieroglyph to confirm its.. All that comes from some graffiti of his name found on some walls...

But to be fair... I believe kids are still taught that Christopher Columbus Discovered America.lol haha

There is a pod cast with Joe Rogan and Bob Lazar. Bob had mentioned that the craft he was working on was dug out of the ground. Speculating it had been buried for hundreds of thousands of years.

It was a very compelling pod cast.

My view is to look up and watch “ ancient aliens debunked “

https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ancient-aliens-debunked/

It makes great imaginative materials for people who don’t know any better.

That includes me by the way;)

On this kind of topic, does anyone else listen to Jim Harold's Paranormal Podcast?

I dont but my animal soul does and usually tells me about it.

Your animal soul must be super interesting!

Thought I'd add my own two cents into this.
I respect everyone's own view and opinions on the matter just wanted to make that clear.
I watched a debunk documentary by two men named Michael Hieser and Chis White and it truly blew my mind. It's extremely interesting, factual and I would recommend watching the whole thing. If anyone wants to watch it here's the link:
https://youtu.be/eeO3wm2y2zI

Hope every one is doing well in these trying times also!

I really don't know. I've watched documentaries on the theory but haven't made my mind up. I love hearing about alternative views though so I'm going to try Joe Rogan's podcasts mentioned in the conversation. It's kind of fun presenting theories like that to people you know are staunch nonbelievers. I like the reactions you get. I guess I'm open minded about that kind of thing until I get a first hand experience that confirms or denies it.

The evidence is everywhere. See the religious texts and reference to ships of light, fairy folklore Etc All the same phenomena but through different lenses in my opinion. Look for the books by Jacques Vallee. Unacknowledged on Netflix is worth a watch too.

Agreed the bible is not something to take literally.lol. but we need to learn to read in between the lines. Try to put yourself back thousands of years ago.. how would we describe a flying saucer (if it happened) without knowing such things or materials existed... Giant bird in the sky? etc..

I'm not religious at all... but what i found interesting is most religions/cultures describe a great flood happening around the same time, which we now have physical evidence for.. So yes, we cannot rely on all the ancient text, but who knows.. some of it may have some interesting clues...

I believe something has had to have happened.. Either we have been given all this knowledge by an external source... or there were very advanced civilzations in a part of history that has been forgotten or hidden...

To put into perspective Gobekli Tepe is dated as far back as 12000 years ago yet people were only supposed to still be hunter gathers at this time.. (strange)
Also, Cleopatra was closer to the invention of the iphone than the building of that site..... Mad when you think about it.. so what we classify as ancient e.g. Romans etc. might not be as old as we think!!

The main problem is that non of us was there.lol. So I cant say for sure either way if it was Aliens or not... All I know is that its mystery and i love getting baked and watching vids on it. hahaha

Yess

Okay perhaps the term ‘evidence’ is too strong when referring to old texts. just offering my opinion on this phenomena which may or may not be ‘aliens’.

Check out the recent videos released by the US Navy I.e. tic tac and Gimbal. Also the many reports with multiple credible witnesses.

Erich von Däniken is a legend.

sans meat bag we are the ancient aliens methinks

Infinite universe= infinite possibilities… can’t rule it out mate?
Also like SMorgan said likely we were way more advanced back then than the ‘take with a pinch of salt’txt books would like us to believe! All that knuckle dragging cave man crap🥸🤭

How did they build the great pyramid in 20 years.

Yeah and they came from nibiru and then they shagged monkeys to make hybrids that brings us to the present day. You are welcome. Lol.

Any show that has 16 seasons must be true.
Not a true believer, but learned a lot from the show.

Best hair in the game!!! 😆

AA is craziness with a good amount of thought provoking articles such as the fucking fabulous stonework from the Stone Age.
Some of the presenters/ contributors are regarded as top comedians in our cave. David Childress to name one

It seems plausible with the stuff that they show on tv, although is that the stuff I was blazing making it out to be??

Its under the ice.

Ha ha. ' People built stuff that looks odd because people are odd.'

Ancient people didnt just build odd stuff, they built intricately designed structures with mathematical precision

This is what make me think there was never aliens but a previous global civilisation that were more technologically advanced than the history books tell us. The evidence they left behind is to real.

Maybe we are devolving as a species

We aren’t devolving, that would mean our genome is going back in time;). We are just evolving to a less intelligent, less independent state of being;)

Unfortunately because of the system

It just made me laugh the way this comment was phrased.

lol

The evidence has been left all around the world. For what ever reasons it is not taught in schools. Why is that? Hmmmm...

Look at this for an example of evidence ....

Love this thought and it reconciles, we are serving cannabis' genetic purpose:

fecundity - more greenhouses every day
fidelity - our buyer reviews maintain integrity
longevity - humans have basically coupled their own survival to cannabis, as long as we are around it's going to be with us.

Cannabis will also be here after we are gone to be picked up by aliens who wind up getting super smart from it and making this universe and the Circle Continues...

That must be good weed you’re smoking huh

What strain is it? lol

Agreed, I want whatever the fuck they have lol

Animals eat plants and shit the seeds out so yeah i guess.

Hey, I’m not a fan of expensive weed either and have been dabbling on and off for many years. After a few disappointments I tend to stick with really stable, unglamorous (but still very nice) classics.
Things like Sensi seeds Super Skunk, THseeds Bubblegum and Dutch passions white widow. I’m really short on space so knowing exactly what I’m getting is perfect rather than taking the barneys farm lucky dip.
And yes, always interested in stable genetics!

On my first grow and just flipped to 12/12 light cycle. I bought 3 seeds from royal queen seeds and they throw in a freebie seed aswell. I had 3 medical mass which is a high CBD medicinal strain. 12%THC, 12%CBD so it a ratio of 1:1, highly desirable for medicinal users. My freebie was an OJ Kush, way higher THC indica strain which I also love and I've just started about 4 days ago, she's popped through the soil with her first 2 leaves already. My medical mass is in my wardrobe she's just about to flower and is smelling lovely! All in all going quite well. I have a 600w LED light with a built in fan which is doing the job brilliantly, have it on a timer at the socket and I just bout compost with 4 months of food already in there because I was a bit overwhelmed with the nutrients thing but this seems to be going really well :)

looking very nice

well i just started a grow, first i got 3 dutch passion auto banana blaze, 2 of them died due to newbie overwatering, and the other one is isnt growing very well, i got them off dutch passions website, then i tried seedsman but they never even sent the seeds out then i found the vault, a great edinburgh based seed bank so fast and great comms and always get like 8 free seeds, i orderered sensi seeds sensi skunk and all 3 seeds didnt germinate on me, i have no idea i think it was a packet from 2016 and maybe just a bit old, but i got sent freebies a royal queen seeds northern lights and it had a tap root saying hey after about 16 hours in a shot glass, and it's growing so much faster than anything ive planted before, so i think i'll be trying RQS next time.

If I may... Pls try advance seeds or dinafem or sweet seeds for GREAT auto results.... And for the ultimate vault search for attitude, there is no better.

I Prefer paper tower germination method. Always works for me unless its very very old seeds. 2016 pack that aint been stored in a fridge will be very very weak and doubt that will germinate at all. Good luck on the RQS NL. Hope it turns out DANK

thanks lud

i will try attitude and dinafem, it's always good to get a trusted opinion rather than wade through hours of crap and disinformation

I'm always interested in seeds.
Just picked up some expert seeds gorilla cookies and some DNA genetics Holy grail Kush... for half Rrp price from a local guy who wanted to start a grow until his mrs put a stop on things.

Oh nice, You wont be disappointed with Holy Grail Kush! Plus DNA never disappoint me.

Its got similar genetics to my Kosher Dawg plus I tried Holy Grail Kush in Dam! Nice

Not tried expert seeds but they are priced up well

You can try messaging one of the larger vendors, but you typically won't find large wholesale amounts on here.
