blastoise Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Has anyone ever had success doing an ALL outdoor grow from seed - ie not starting off under veg lights? Just wondering how plausible it is for me if I don't have access to my mate's veg light/place. I can imagine it might work with autos if you start em off when the weather is pretty nice. Could start em in my garden to watch over them then put them out in the wild once they're a bit bigger.

harvestreaper Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 @blastoise quite a few people have ,,if you look through some older threads you can see ,,it should be no problem if you offer them protection from slugs/snails rabbits etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohamedbear Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 @blastoise I have done for the past 4 years because an indoor veg room is out the question where I live. Photoperiods don't have a problem being started outside as long as the last frost has been and gone and they've got plenty of protection from slugs n shit. And it doesn't really matter if they get off to a slow start because they'll be plenty big enough come flower if started in May. You only really need to veg under lights if you want massive plants like Greenskells. Autos are a bit different because they need all the growth they can get early on so they really do benefit from 24 hour light but I've started autos outside and had no problem as long as the days are at their longest and it's warm. Just make sure they've got all day sun. The only autos I've done outdoors are Dutch passions auto mazar and auto blueberry and I was well impressed with the mazar because they grow big for autos and the smoke was banging... Was.... When starting autos outside I'd start them in their final pots/holes to avoid shock from transplanting and be sure all the cold weather is out the way because they can be a bit temperamental early on. Have a look at my diary if you want everything was started outdoors and is going to be again this year. Good luck and just be patient when doing autos because waiting an extra week or two can be the difference between big healthy plants or little stunted runts.... Peace blastoise, take it easy! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Luchóg Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I know frost isn't good but just thought I'd mention it for newcomers, unless it's a serious hard freeze it won't kill seedlings, especially varieties bred for outdoor growing. I'm only repeating myself but folks will have the impression that frost kills outright. It doesn't and they do betteron a cold night than pansys or petunias. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamedbear Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Nice! ^_^ Especially the one in the middle, I like that bottom branch with two heads did it just grow like that? Looking good though matey, looking forward to seeing them out in the wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr blue Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Bollocks..... Just went for a walk to check out one of last years plots, with a view to expanding it. The whole big bramble patch has been cleared down to bare earth. Another plot bites the dust, lucky I have several more...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
