    Cool North UK outdoor grow

    Good evening all ????

    I'm very new to growing cannabis and have recently started my first ever outdoor grow using feminised autoflowering strain's/seeds.

    I do have a few concerns and worries though and was really hoping for some advice if possible please ????

    I have opted to go for Purple Bud & Skywalker Haze and I am currently using a £50 plastic greenhouse I bought online.

    I unfortunately was on a very very tight budget for this grow which I sadly feel has and will effect the yeild. Honestly I'm just very happy that I've managed to get to this stage.

    I will try and upload some images of each plant

    My concerns for these plants are
    1) I think I'm at week 12 now from date of planting the germinated seed and I don't think the buds are anywhere near grown ?

    2) is the yellowing of the leaves / yellow leaf colour anything else to be concerned with and if so what is the best way to remedy this?

    3) is it worth purchasing any bud boost or something along those lines for the plants?

    4) two of the Skywalker Haze plants seem to be really really behind and growing very slowly if at all. Why is this?

    Thank you all

    Kind regards

    I'm gonna guess that you have overwatered them going by the moss and other shit growing in those pots bud,they also look like they are not getting nearly enough light.
    I tried the same kinda cheapy greenhouse last year,it worked ok but we get far more sunlight each year than even Brazil does unfortunately Scotland doesn't get close to that amount of sunlight,I've never grown outdoors in Scotland as it was always pissing down.
    I do have a couple of auto's growing outside that have suffered some heat stress due to the heatwave we have had over here for the past few weeks but they have remained about half the height of yours.

    Hey man , thanks for your reply. I think the moss and other shit etc is just from the soil used to fill the pots. It was straight out of a wild flower bed I had and unfortunately I didn't have anything to try and filter the soil. Hopefully next year I'll be able to get a bit better success

    Just my 2c but to me it looks like a lack of nutrients/nute deficiency, also they look like real smalls pots buddy, and have you cut most of the side branches off?

    Im also growing in a similar 'greenhouse' but a clear version, as i feel it allows more like through than the green ones. Could you maybe put them outside for a few hours a day to get more light?

    By no stretch an experienced grower here, but hopefully i can at least try n point you in the right direct by the failures ive made

    Thank you for your reply mate. I'll have a look online for the potting soil and try that next year

    With outdoor, you get what you're given wrt lighting. No extra on the leccy bill though. Autos take longer with less light.

    I know of a Scottish lady who grows in a greenhouse. She's close to the English border. No leccy in her greenhouse and bud rot is a problem due to lack of heating and ventilation. Her greenhouse is close to 6'x6' and the pics of her harvest suggest a yield (after binning the mould,) close to what I used to get with a 600w hps. So it can be done.

    She reckons £80 a year for seeds, soil and nutes. I think she uses tomato feed.
