second attempt, outdoor grow in sw france

2 years ago I did an outdoor grow, what made it difficult was I am not here all the time and was relying on rain. At the time a few people on the forum said I would end up with nothing but I managed to grow ganga dwarf an auto and early misty, The plants were smaller than I expected, not a bad thing as I didn't want them to be seen, I collected enough bud to keep me going for 2 years, I am a part time smoker, so I suppose it was a success. I have a packet of free seeds that came with my order so thats what I will be using this time. The early misty is a lovely smoke but the ganga dwarf is not my cup of tea a bit of a downer. The free seeds are a good size so not the dreaded dwarfs, I plan to start at the beginning of april, the same system as before, one seed in a small pot then transplant into the ground when about 6 inches high, for feed I used urine with a high beer content. Looking at the seedbanks earlier everything has changed in the 2 years a lot of new stuff, wish me luck and I will put some pics up when I get started.

Great to hear, that you succeed at your first grow. I wish you best luck mate!

This will be my first outdoor season, I bought 25 seeds already, but will buy more at March.
I'm thinking about starting my season in April. I will have 2 or 3 spots for all my plants, so I hope I will get some buds.
As I don't have space to grow seedlings at home, than I will just germinate them at house and plant them outside when there will be no frost outside anymore.

Water retention crystals and epsoma plant-tone will probably be a better choice...both at Home Depot for under $20.

Edit: Surely there must be some type of granule nute available in France. One that is watered in by rain.

Good luck!

Home Depot in South West France???
The French don't worry about actually growing anything.

They just stage wildcat strikes
and strong arm agricultural subsidies from the EU's Common Agricultural Policy.


Actually....
The BASQUE'S grow some shit hot weed
and the Basques are Northern Spain, Southern France

(Le Bomb Unexplosione).

Hi weedburger, outdoor growing is great fun and a real hobby, when i was back in the uk i was always wondering how they were doing.
