Not sure if you have been to this thread yet


If not please join in and Post up your experiences a lot of other guys here with the same goals :)
Good shout, I'm never sure if growing in a large plastic tunnel counts as outdoor though...feels like a different environment so not necessarily comparable. If I had a few hectares now that would be outdoor...
 
I bought the 5 regular seeds pack from ACE's, six seeds inside and five grew well. A friend of a friend bought a pack of the french touch version. Didin't hear yet if he grew it already... If so, I guess I'll exchange some seeds with him.
40 degrees? Is that in Morocco, by chance? :D I don't entirely distrust the Beldia yet, though I don't want to fight mold so much every season! I just believe it should be a rather dry and hot year, like we had here a couple of times until about two years ago. When this weather returns, the Beldia will probably perform just fine even here in the northern half of Germany.
Putting out different things is the only safe way to play it! Hopefully it will result in 100% successful harvest for you!

I am interested in your methods. Have considered trying something similar myself. my issue is anything like that is conspicuous for my purposes. For what its worth id say it counts as outdoor though!

Well, I had the Moroccan Beldia starting to flower pretty early, right after midsummer it seems. But they struggled with the wet weather and mold had to be removed from the buds continuously during the last two or three weeks of flowering. The surviving female also took longer to finish in Germany than the breeder observed in Spain, so harvest was not in early september but early october. And the effects tend to be too narcotic for my taste.
Yeah, my hot bets for well- working strains and further breeding are Purple Satellite, Mountain Gold and Thyphoon. But it would be nice if I could make Kwazulu, Kilimanjaro, Reina Madre, Chocolope or Panama work in Germany and if so, will cross- breed with one of them somehow.
The other stuff I grow is mostly to get some more variation in my weed stock even if some plants deliver only like 20% of their potential... but maybe there'll be a nice surprise among them with easy growing and nice effects, meriting to grow it again for seeds.

Last year I had many autoflowers, and much work with many of them to make them grow well and not die, but they grew in the garden where I had more control, and so in the end they got me like 50% of the season's weed, while the bigger photos suffered different problems in the woods and were decimated. After all, I came to realize that I like growing photos better and will mostly proceed to grow like back in the days, with worthy outdoor photo strains and just a few auto's.

@afghan I'll take some of the Nepal cross! Could be interesting. Keep it on!
You are right to be interested in the Highland Nepalese genetics, they are now quite rare and I was very lucky to be given them by a fellow member and seed enthusiast.
It has a superbly clear and energising high, it brings incense aromas, quite early, slightly loose buds and some very resinous types. Best after curing 3 months.
It seems like a tough adaptable plant, think it would be good outdoors.
I have some F1 seeds from it which are quite variable and may be quite leafy (my observation) at this generation but it seems to settle down in f2.
I have so many seeds Also from previous generations and mixed up types too.

I like your style man :)

Heads up if anyone’s interested, real gorilla seeds outdoor competition (on this forum section)- free pack to enter with if you don’t have their strains.
They got some good early stuff, all field tested at 52° N

Will check that out. Growing anything ain’t easy in Scotland lol

I've got lots of great seeds thanks to Icmag friends, but I have nowhere to grow. Outdoors I will try buckets of some sort and fill them with soil and place them in strategic locations outside in the wooded areas. I can't grow outside my building or in my building, it sucks. I will start April 1st indoors. Sunflowers everywhere this year outside is the plan. Hopefully the dirtballs leave it for the animals. I have some great seeds already and have Haze fem auto and Northern lights fem coming from Phoenix Seeds. Check them out. Should I start looking for places to leave buckets? Probably need to cut down some vegetation too. Well not today but at least I have plans. Ganja fest this Summer!!!

My dream is to harvest something that resembles original thai weed, for the taste and effects. But for outdoor growing it seems that the genetics won't go much above 50% thai, or else the plants will try to finish flowering in really cold rain in the middle of November. I practically dropped the idea to find a reliable strain or to breed it on my own now and will grow and breed other sativa that'll make it. And wait for shops to open that'll sell imported weed from the tropics! ;)

Durban Poison is usually your best bet, when it comes to outdoor growing a sativa strain in difficult countries (Germany, Netherlands...).
It's not a true landrace but really close. Some phenos start to flower a bit late though, but still resistant against mold.

Yes it's a pretty stable Dutch hybrid since the 1980s

Quite right, I tried it in my old guerilla days some twenty years ago. I have now some cheap copy feminized seeds, will test these in parallel to my main strains this season. Possibly I'll get some reg's from Dutch Passion someday and if they do well, early and healthy and all, try to mix with a thai style sativa like Wild Thailand or ThaixPanama.

So you're a guerilla, too? I will also start cutting brambles and some shrubs soon, pre- preparing the places to be. I'd put them in the ground rather than in pots, they'll stand hot weather better, if you can't visit every day. Try to minimize the need for efforts. Keeping their enemies off and finding a secret place with enough sun is the key. You can't predict the weather and if they get killed by somebody, so better use several spots and several strains to ensure there'll be a harvest. (y)

Yeah I'll be guerilla out there but it's legalized here

A legal guerillero... sadly this will never happen here.
At first the government planned to legalize "three flowering female plants per adult", which could have made growing regular seeds easier or having three autoflower in their first weeks ready to replace those three flowering. Now it's "three plants per adult", at all. I don't have my favourite strain yet, so it's about trying out, illegally.:confused:

Another thing that caught my eye is Sudanese from TRSC
Semi-auto flowering, meaning flowering begins as soon as plants are mature enough, roughly 4 to 5 weeks from seed.


Ready during September at northern latitudes/
This one may be really be ready in time due to the semi-autoflowering.

Good evening all :tiphat:
Forum is a little quiet lately… not outside season yet I suppose, but I’ve been starting to get the outdoor-planting-urge lately so spring can’t be too far off.
Didn’t do an outdoor garden last year and not able to do any digging this year due to injuries but I reckon a couple of well placed buckets might quench the need.

Anyone planning anything for the great outdoors this year?
Im just now buying seeds for this seasons outdoor. Just bought a variety of strains from Hybridsfromhell.eu - Have grown them before and especially Leb27 stuck out to me both in terms of high and plant health (specifically mold resistance!)
Starting up soon so I'll be able getting them out as early as possible. Maybe in a small manure heated cold frame!

Happy outdoor growing!
