New Grower First Grow - Outdoors in Ireland

[Yammerz]

Hey everyone,

I’m about two weeks into an outdoor grow here in Ireland, thought I would post progress after lurking a lot and getting valuable info.

Some background: I’ve done a very small indoor grow years ago but never considered outdoors here due to climate but was over at a friends place who’s green fingers gave me inspiration. I was a bit late in the season getting started so went for what are hopefully some v quick autos. Under no illusions though and not expecting a huge haul, in it for the learning, fun and relaxation of putting my mind to the project and off the day to day!

• Seeds: Amnesia Sticky Beast x3
• Soil: Was recommended Cré mix, an Irish made organic product filled with kelp and other good stuff.
• Pots: Had 2 11l Fabric pots one unknown plastic from the shed
• Germination: straight in the soil in fabric for two. One of them went into a biodegradable cardboard starter and under a propagator inside
• Outdoor location: have them in a cheap mini greenhouse on the sunny side of the garden. Probably getting about 10hrs of direct sun (when it’s out)

soil mix


first sprouts after 60 hrs

More to follow having a nightmare typing on the phone!

Oh I am for sure. Was done on a whim to see what happens, far from ideal. Will give them a proper run next year. Mates here have them in full swing at the moment.

but if push comes to shove can you maybe bring them indoors approaching the end

Worth it all the same for the learning process. Must say I read outdoors in Ireland and thought: "uh oh" but sheltering them from the rain should help! Good luck man

Yeah I have access to lights and a tent if needs be but here for the craic really. Good shout on the mould, had heard that before, will keep in mind.
