Visiting Sunday 27th Oct for 3 days ... anyone from that area or know anyone that is ....Im after a hook up Regards Hillcrest

been away awhile ..... how'd this work out ?

Hi, So old timers know me and know through posts/gallery i use to grow under light. Yep stopped due to circumstance and now grow outdoors in the UK 3 plants only per year . When your not on it 24/7 like indoor growing you forget things. Indoors a flowering time is pretty much fixed give or take a week or two. Outdoors theres way too many factors to influence this so an auto with a 75 days completion depending on weather and pheno could take 75 to 90+ days. So..... as i said im in the UK and we are having a heat wave like we havent seen in 25+ yrs.....great, no rot (we love rain in the UK) i remember sativa strains being idea at say 30% amber trics max some liking 50% ....what are are your opinions ? Im not use to outdoor growing being so good given this weather. Im drawn to 30% as hoping to not hit the couch lock too much but im hearing some folk harvest prior to even amber and stick to milky on sativa outdoors .. theres 3 plants... 3 pheno lol so obviously the one thats largest and only just hit milky is far more sativa dom. happy to here all input as like the said....this outdoor ideal weather is new to me being in the UK Regards and happy growing Hillcrest

Thanks but there's no worries this year as these are on different land which is much more private so no prying eyes. lol no 'god'... just lucky that they will not get hit with rot this year. I wouldn't call this a growing journal, I just thought Id share a few photos....and by photos I mean only a few as Ive not been keeping any records...cant even remember when they were planted but its definitely over 75 days ago. the first plant (the smallest) is very earthy and just about done as trics are just starting to turn amber will cut most of it down tomorrow leaving lower buds to mature a little further. Second plant (mid sized plant) smells fruity more bud sites and will probably go another 7-10 days. Third plant (tallest) the one which is always reaching for the stars has wayyyyy more bud sites and the buds are fox tailing this I think is my fav and will take maybe another 14 days or more, seems more sativa dom that the others.

Hi folks, well last year I got robbed. Not happening this year. 3 plants , cant say when started but there are 3 pheno. Started much earlier this year and weather is amazing. No rain for past 4 week and non predicted for next 3. I think these ladies will be ready next 4-5 week. You can see 1 plant is small, but buds are more developed than the the others. Second pheno is larger less developed but more bud site developement. Third is larger pointy leaves (always pointing up even if lacking watering) this will take longer but imo the winner. All are in pots 2ft tall (might not look it) and 18” wide. Basic organic compost, mycro and an organic starter. Only watered... no feed at all just yet. Best pheno Weakest pheno Second best pheno Waves to all my friends. All those that think you cant grow cannabis outdoors in UK ..... WANNA BET

Nice work there Pedro

Thanks man, it sucks. Thanks mindless, Its no one I know. Only folks that know are close family and really close friends that live between 100- 300 miles away. We live a life style where we only really know our neighbours ( no issue there now) we dont have friends locally so a deer cam (which i have.....to those who dont know its a night vision movement triggered video device) whouldnt really help as photos would mean nothing. The fuck up IMO is mine. The location all be it on private land does have a public border .... I got cocky and my brain wasnt thinking. If I'd stuck to the autos the plants would have remained almost invisable to amyone passing but I planted the Russian doll and due to its size They All got noticed. Lesson learnt. Regards Hillcrest

We are in mourning. A week ago I harvested the tops of the auto mikromachine and a few side branches as they were ready and also the weather has been wet as shit and spotted mold. Left behind was the Fem Russisn doll as not even flowering and standing about 1.5m now and the 2 mikomachines with I'd say 3 times more buds left than i harvested. (So id harvested about a 1/4 of the yield) So today I step outside as its dry to go harvest more, but.......... The ladies have gone some toe rag has pulled up the auto's and nicked em.....leaving behind Rusdian doll as useless to them (no doubt keeping an eye on her for the future) ....creating quite a bit of damage to fencing etc in the process. 'Pauses to shed a tear' Ah well looks like I'll have to find a new location and alarm them up next year, and improve my fencing. I'll keep you posted as to how the Russian doll goes on but I'm tempted to just killl her now as cant see her finishing before weather turns really crap. Also if she goes local toe rag will stop visiting in the night. Regards Hillcrest

Takes a seat. Sits back and waits. Happy growing and enjoy Pedro. Regards Hillcrest

Missed this and taking a seat. I'm an Auto's fan too but the lowryders ...not a fan. Very interesting thread. Will be following closely to see how the seeds you produce from the auto's turn out and flowering times (happy to test em outdoors for ya...... Wouldnt be till next year now though ) Good luck and happy breeding Hillcrest

I've quit smoking tobacco and dont fancy burning anything anymore. Last time I had a grow was 3 yrs back and with the same auto mikromachine strain and smoked alittle of it and used rest for butter....which i still have some leftover in freezer from then. I was going to turn this lot into bho/shatter and then add to e-cig liquid...... but then I recently purchased the MIGHTY vape which i'm seriously liking alot so will probably just vape most of it. If by any miracle the Russian doll does produce some mature buds before our climate kills it and i like the smoke, I'll create some bho from one of the strains and vape that too. Shame the Russian doll wasnt an Auto . I hated on Auto's for years (mainly lowryders) and never saw the point of them until I had to stop growing indoors, now I can see what sizes of plant and yields can be acheived from auto's i'm a convert, if I didnt live in a place that has crap weather like here, it might be a different story. Still think lowryders are the produce of satan. Greetz Hillcrest

update: All three: Runt: Strong one : Russian Doll: General auto buds: Auto are stinking it up fruity but earthy. Not long till finish.....maybe 2-3 weeks at most but we will see. Russian doll is storming on showing pre flowers but I'll be suprised if shes allowed to finish here due to climate. Shame but i will let her do what she can and pray for good weather but as she'll still be flowering into november probably I'll not hold out too much luck. Regards Hillcrest

Well at least some of you got some beans, just ashame not ALL received in good health. Best wishes to all that grow em out. Hillcrest
