lowryder 2 outdoors in ireland first grow

hello, looking for some info I'm planning to grow lowryder 2 outdoors in ireland. I have nearly everything sorted. I've the soil mixed an all and am planning to cut the bottom out of a ten litre pot and replace it wit cardboard and tape for when they grow to 6 ins i can remove the card board to avoid shock to the roots when transplanting to their new home. I have already prepared a spot, I turned all the soil with compost, perlite and worm castings. I will remove the cardboard an sink the pot in the ground til the rim is level with the ground. I plan to crop the plants to have them growing along the ground as i've heard this can help to a better yeild. I'm growing my plants in a clouche a sort of tiny greenhouse to help them because you really cant rely on the irish form the wind and rain and frost on clear nights. Would like to know wat people think on my idea and what type of fertilizer would benifit me most

howya now? i have 10 lowryder2s and 10 lowryder diesels im gonna be startin them end of may/start of june outdoors, i think we should get an alright summer if these clouds go cus the temps are pretty hot im using pots with john innes no.1 wit perlite for seedlings then a compost with j.i. no.3 for the rest if i can get a camrea ill start a journal. Iv been told that if ur soil is rich enough not to feed till week 2/3 with quarter strength veg nutes till week 5 then switch to bloom all the way i was told to do this every second water dunno if that helps but ill keep track of this journal and try to get my one started too. Best of luck wit it anyway

For the lowryder's i wasn't nessesary to feed the first weeks.My lowryder's looked fine,i fed them about 1/2 strength in week 3 and got a little nutrient burn,the soil i'm using is nothing special,just some garden soil i bought at the store for less than 2 euro's but it works fine,and i find that lowryder's are easy plants compare to other strains i have,lowryder's don't need much care.
I give them light and water them about twice a week (when they were still indoors) and they look great.
