when should i start growing. i was thinking May, but i never understand how you can grow outdoors because you need a certain number of hours of sunlight otherwise the plant will start budding , and i never thought the days were long enough here in the UK? would the plant keep vegging until the hours of light got less than 12?

When shall i start?

A.) from a clone

B.) from a seed

thanks in advance

i would clone a decent fem mother plant if u have the space to grow indoors,then put them out end of may

they could start budding earlier than 18 hours that depends on strain, from seed you would sex and clone your on about starting 1-2 month grow sex 1-2 weeks clone for april start now end off feb,
clones rooted plant in april
seed in to ground april as well you will have plenty off veg time enough to get a 2metre plant how big do you want them mate?


plant out around mid-april at the earliest

prob best going for may to be safe further up north

cheers guys , tbh any plant would do i would be happy with a 1m plant , i live down south and i would try to do it with NL and power skunk.

im in the southeast m8.... if you can find a decent sunny spot id put em out at about 1ft tall in may id also choose an indica for the shorter flowering time needed
it should be ready by nov

Acording to my diary on the spring Equinox (21st March) sunrise is at 6.01 and sunset is at 6.16 so thats your 12 hours. If you put plants out then, they might get confused and start flowering (and its too cold in march with risk of frosts likely)

By the 1st week of May sunrise is 5.30 and sunset is 8.26 so thats about 15 hours so well in. Some geurillas go a bit earlier and plant in April but I think May is the most popular time to plant out.

By the summer soltice we are enjoying 16hrs and 40 mins of daytime!

Hope this helps

only buy tried and tested outdoor early plants as some varietys will not kick in early enough to harvst before first frost, Most off uk frosts finish around March .

either way you have a good 4-5 month veg no matter when you put them out so dont worry too much i put some out last year mid june and were still over a metre

Any time in June is fine. Even early July will still work
