hey riu!

i am planning on growing outdoors this year and i live in the south of the uk.

i have got 20 mango seeds by kc brains (outdoors seeds).

when they reach 4" i will pot them up and put them outside to grow.

i was wondering if the plants need direct sunlight throughout the whole of the day or can they live on the natural light from the sun.

thanks everyone.

Once they get a few hours direct ever other day they will be mint my friend. You will be suprised on the yeild you can get outdoor in the U.K and Ireland. I got 3oz Of a Super Skunk outdoors last year.

this blueberry was grown outdoor last summer in the uk she yielded 5oz.

Thats a very nice bush you have there mate:clap:

I have a south facing back garden so i would normly get 8 hours of sunlight depending on weather conditions. But indirect sunlight is just as good, remember the sun is very powerful. You should have no problems once they get a nice bit of morning sunshine. Dont be worrying mate, just give it a bash and see how it goes ya nkow.

Heres a few pics of my skunk i grew last year.

dunno what you really mean m8 that blueberry was just put in the garden, given plenty of nutes regulary and left to do her thing.

she got as much direct sunlight as the sun gave her for the day?!?

nice grows sambond richie

what i mean is if the sun is direct its like full beam not shaded out,because i noticed the diffrence in how much light there was in a direct sun beam on the floor to normal light.

direct sun beams u can actually see the light shining wheras where the sunlight maybe blocked by trees ect its not as bright if you kno what i mean.

also thanks so i should get a gd grow this year,i found a few big bushes i can hollo out where the sun shine on them,even though i live in the south of england my garden is about 50 yards of the sun shining full beam all day long... so its annoying.

il probs end up moving em about all day or cutting out a small patch for them to go in the woods.

thanks everyone,keep the info comming its all help!
