Celtic voyager Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) @Idicanna jones By all accounts, from the more knowledgeable members on here, that seems to be the way to go. I'll just have to pick the best indica/kush photo strains for the outdoors. So far, I got Afghani Hindu kush PCK and papaya kush for the photo run. But that could/probably will change a bit between now and then. Edited August 5, 2023 by Celtic voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idicanna jones Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Thankfully, I ain't one of them. But in my very limited experience, I'll go as early as I dare with the autos.... pop the photos late may and away we go..... At least with an early auto run, they'll flower as the weather improves... Last year I could've run 4 lots in the garden. This year? barely 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bred for the Dutch climate. it's in fem and regs. Haven't heard that one mentioned in quite awhile I have a pack of these from back before Gerrit got out and worked some sort of deal with Simon from Serious I need to see if they are still viable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idicanna jones Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Maybe some crossed wires here. My theory goes that if the early autos survive the shit weather early doors.... They'll enjoy the warmer temps as they flower. Whereas this summer.... The temps have been ok but it's pissed it down and now I'm worried that they'll rot.... Hence my reason for chucking them out early. My photos are doing really well all things considered 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchFox Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 7 hours ago, Celtic voyager said: Thanks brock1 I'm still weighing up what to do, still plenty of time, this is all for next year What's going for the autos at the moment is, their quick growing, flowering and finishing. The way the weather has been this year, they would be easier to manage here in holland....im pretty sure 90 % of autos everywhere rotted away due to rain the last 6 weeks...and more to come till end of the week.... so....what it say....well...nothing....next year they can be harvest 100%... so dont put your eggs in 1 basket... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This applies to photoperiod & auto. Yes even Danish strain mould badly in certain parts of the UK. I haven't lost a single auto plant to rot in around 8yr that I have breed locally. If your buying Spanish grown auto your going to get mould that's just common sense. if you cant buy locally breed auto's but multiple lines from different breeder's & expect looses until you find out what works in your environment not their's.

Yes you can get a few early auto's to finish before the weather gets bad. Ask these people what auto they have with zero mould after this last 3 weeks of rain because it won't be no Hindu Kush ect. Go with a sativa hybrid if you want mould resistance. Just a little tip for people who breed auto's here. If you inbreed they revert to a indica type anyway if your using a lowryder as a precursor for the auto mutation.
