Hi there guys, next year im definately going to try and grow some MJ outdoors in a plot away from my house.., theres just a few problems that ive thought of, on july the 24th to 7th august im outa the country and i was wandering if i dont water my babies to be in that time they're going to die arent they?, so will i need to inlist a fellow grower? also are there any strains that are super quick growers and auto flowerers that if i planted as early as possible would be ready to harvest before my holiday? Also i might just risk it and leave them for 2 weeks or inlist a partner, but if i do does anyone know if the strains 'Moutain Mist' and 'THC Bomb' are sutiable/good grows in the uk country side? and are there any good tutorial videos anyone knows of that are helpful for first timers?
thanks guys, i must sound very demanding sorry

They should be fine really mate i never watered mine this season untill flower. Unless its megaaaaa dry you shouldn't worry

Ah ok, thanks man thats taken alot off my chest Just hope my crop doesnt fail .

The best thing you can do is get the roots of the plant as healthy as possible before you go away. Start them off early as possible either indoors or outside in a coldframe. Pot up the plants properly check out oldtimers guide to roots. Prepare your sites by digging in plenty of compost and bone meal. Only water your plants if they really need it in the months before you go away. Give them a good drink and mulch around the stem before you go away in case of drought. If you want you can use water saving crystals aswell. But to be honest with the amount of rain weve had the last 3 years you wont need to water at all. I wouldnt get a grow partner in myself I work alone Its handy having a good mate to dry it for me though

Hope this helps, youve made a great decision to grow your own, good luck.

O yeah dont bother with autoflowers go for sotmhing thats starts to flower early and doesnt take too long to finish, Durban poison, passion 1, easy sativa to name a few.
