Is it worth growing outdoors south UK

**Jitsu16** · 09-04-17, 04:45 PM

Hi all, just curious if anyone in the south of England has had a successful grow, if yes what did you use and when to start it etc...? I am trying indoor but want to see if it's worth it outdoor also!
Cheers

Yes know a few people that grow outdoors in the south can do a greenhouse effect indoors if you got south facing windows and time to move them round, prevents them getting soaked outdoors.

cannabis plants are easy to veg outdoors, is late summer early autumn sun that flowers them, climate change is making it easier in my area.

I've added several successful out door grows in Cornwall. I used to get my seeds started in March, planting out in May when frost risk had past. Plant in sunny position sheltered from strong winds, keep well watered and feed with added nutrients. That's it! The problems can arise if inclement weather sets in during September. Damp cloudy conditions will lead to small buds with the risk of mildew. Occasional rain is not to much problem as long as the days return to warm and sunny with some breeze to keep the plants growing strongly. As soon as they look to have significantly slowed in bud fattening harvest can be better than waiting - that's where the skill comes in, deciding the optimum time to harvest.
Hope that helps.

Hey thank you all for your post.

The Cornishman, how do I find your posts on your grows?

**The Cornishman** · 10-04-17, 10:36 PM

You don't! As i have not documented any of them here. My first guerrilla grow was in 1980. Several more in this country and ten years in South West France. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. However, just search the site and you'll find more than you can digest.
