Gorrilla - In south of England(UK), whens the latest I can plant outside?

[Maersk]

Hey all

For a Gorrilla Grow, whats the latest I could move the vegged plants outside?

Should I aim to continue vegging outside for a few weeks to allow theplants to get used to the new environment? Or is potting straight into flower ok?

Aug 21st is the solstice and after that its flowering time as light starts to reduce. I would getting them establiahed before then and use a quick finishing strain as you dont want to rely on October being nice. Good luck.

I think you meant June 21st. September 22nd is Fall Equinox.

No, I was just saying the longest day of the year was June 21st. The days are getting shorter, but it's by 7 seconds a day for me in NW Florida. You will still have time to make a crop.

Ah right, thanks for clearing that up, I guess I got 2 weeks realistically if I want to let them settle in 2 weeeks before flower.

Try to find out what Length of Day your strains start to flower at. Here is a link that will help you figure out when that will be.

I planted seed today, and will most likely plant toward the end of July too. But I may be a little warmer than you are. I don't mind the short veg time. Small plants are fine with me.

correct larry, my bad. Not sure why I put August. Probably because that's when outdoors start flowering here....which ultimately leaves them without enough time to finish (I am in Amsterdam so fairly similar to South East UK). Most folk grow autos outside here but I have never bothered with autos for one reason or another.
I think you'd still get a good month or so of veg outside if you put plants out now.

@DST
I also dont have autos, so will be using normal.

I cant put them out right now, possibly can in 2-3 weeks, would you say thats too late?

Nah, I think you'll be fine then as well. Check out timeanddate.com that will give you an idea of the amount of daylight hours you get in your area. In August here it's still 14 1/2 hours.

i just planted some more seeds and they will be good size by end sept and im in coastal mid maine so simular climate as you got

it doesn't matter when u put them outside, it's only like leaving them 18/6 ... this week north been 16hrs light so they stay in veg until the sun changes in a few month.. so i don't think it matters.


I got one, it's raining a bit and bit cloudy but they going upto 2ft tall in about a week in the sun.
