Plants are all good and everything, nearly got an 8ftr now, the rest are around 5, only problem is they havent started flowering, I can see the pistils that determined there sex but there seems to be no progress in terms of flowering... Any ideas???

Ok so its mid august, I could call this the first day of flowering for my swiss cheese farm. It's been 1 week 1/2 since my last visit to the plants and everything is good, so enjoy:

its only just started flowering and flowering always starts mid august outdoor in the uk so they will be fine hopefully

They are an early flowering strain and its particular resistant to mould so I dont think anything is necessary. What could I do anyway?

Alright so thanks for all your interest, everythings good now, fence up, no males, everything is cush just waiting for these monsters to flower :):

Theres a lot of flies around, the exact same thing has been happening to me but its only really a problem when they are very small. They will start to flower properly in about 2 weeks from now.

I have good news, there were only 5 males out of the 41 plants, 2 are still unconfirmed but thats still a definate 34 females. Fence still isnt up so I havent took any pictures. I have a 6ftr now aswell :D Stay tuned.

Ok I think I might give that a go then and top them, there is roughly 3 weeks until the start of flowering so is that enough time for the stem to split into 2 for the 2 main colas? When I checked the biggest tallest one was a female :D As much as I enjoy sharing the pictures with everyone on...

Alright a fence is on its way, just need to buy a roll of chicken wire. I have been to our plants today to try and determine sex and its very clear that a lot of them are females. The ones that I think are male I am not 100% sure of so I have not cut them down yet just to be on the safe side. I...

I'll put more pics up when they show their sex. Thanks for your interest.

There is just a lot of thorn and nettle bushes. The patch where my plants are has just been dug up, it was originally also covered by thick brambles. The soil is just pretty average really. I'd say it has got quite a lot of clay content and I heard somewhere that it's a good thing.

I'm only going to top the ones that arent already bushy which could do with a few more branches. The height is not an issue due to their location so they can grow as tall as they like.

They survived the rain, one was knocked over by something but its not dead so whatever. Anyway, I have some better quality pictures now, so enjoy:

Dont just throw them in the soil, there is no way they will get through seedling stage in Scotland with all of the rain, I would put them in small pots and build a small greenhouse just until they are about 6" high then I'd move them in the ground.

I love seeing people grow in the UK outdoor, it really pushes the limits on what this plant can achieve. I'll definately be keeping track on this.

I am a bit worried about the plants, there has been very heavy rain nearly all day and my street has flooded. My plants are on a hillside so that should obviously help but the part where they are planted is flat and I'm wondering if this is going to damage them? Just wondering how strong are...

Cool thanks, I'll keep an eye out then.

When will these start to flower? I think they have just started to show their sex but it's still hard to make out.

Here is an update, right they have been outside for 18 days and some have grown nearly 2ft. They are all pretty healthy, a few are smaller than I would like but overall I'd say they have done very well considering I have had rain after rain since they have been out. Anyway here are some...

It still is getting on?
