So as an experiment this year I grew blue dream out door in the UK using blue dream auto and cheep tomato fert with fishmeal pellets mixture in second use bat special soil
8 only grew 1 plant as garden is overlooked from all sides I didn't take pics I didn't want to draw any attention to my project
Watering was every 2 or 3 days with tomato feed before 7 o'clock to minimise risk.
I had small problem with catapilla but used crushed garlic spray every 2 3 days to sort them (same time as watering)
Result was half decent crop estimate 1 to 2 on great smoke lots of sticky trics smallish buds but hey it wasn't bad for the stuff left off garden plant and a zero electric bill.
Next year I think I'll put 2 in and use a few boosters .
On to the next experiment same seeds
Indoor led overhead led stribs 2 cob side lights and am pondering on buying a strip per plant running vertical so 4 strips 4 plants as experiment is there anyone still selling these in the uk

1 1/2 oz choose your seeds northan lights won't put out much smell or even blue dream
Took about 3 month.
My next experiment is indoors with same feed fish meal pellets in houseplant soil and tomato plant liquid feed in the spring ill step up outside to 2 or 3 plants with propa feed

you can also add a small handfull of chicken manure ellets and some fish blood n bone pellets and seaweed meal. it works great for me.
start the outdoor plants after the last frosts and you will have a nice crop
im going with autos next year, im in wales and it gets too wet fior most straines come the end of the flowering season {photos}

Yep autos are a must blue dream hang a bit on flowering or it might be the northern UK weather but as proved can grow with little care even as gorilla grow

For an outdoor grow would you use that stuff if its in a pot still or just if its in the ground?

nice, very well hidden. How did it cope with any heavy rain?
Didn't do that bad with it as it has feed added to the soil I just didn't use the liquid feed although I did have to use a cane to prop it up for wind

yes. i use it all the time, but your best off grinding all amendmenta into fine dust with a blender, that way it breaks down in the soil and becomes available faster

Hey if you have a tutorial for uk outdoor growing - step one to harvest- I would really really appreciate it
I did some Autos outside last year.

Firstly I germinated them on paper towels. Then I planted them in Big Tom tomato compost mixed with a little perlite. The pots I used were 20L. I then put them in a sunny spot in the garden. I watered them with plain water once a week, or when the pot went light, until they started to flower.

Once flowering started I fed them once a week, or when the pot went light, with Tomorite tomato feed with a tablespoon of Epsom Salts. That is it.

The only other thing I had to do was a bit of LST to keep the height down.

The whole grow cost me less than £20. I yielded 268gr from 5 RQS Northern Lights Autos. So that is nearly 10oz. It was the best weed I have ever grown, it tasted so fucking good. Potent too.
