most outdoor growers are relying on strains that finish about the start of October time. before the really bad weather sets in. come the end of the budding cycle about October time thats not possible. as the day light hours are dropping and the plants go into flower round about august time. so we not getting the full sun to finish them off when we need it most. thats why a lot of people grow autos to try and get the most out of our sunniest months. but they not as hardy are regular strains and are prone to bud rot. not trying in any way to put a dampener on your hopes of doing an outdoor grow. just saying the truth and no years the same some you might have success some you wont. you can pick up cheap plastic greenhouses with a metal frame you can put up like a tent. and take down and store away for winter when the bad weather comes in. as long as you got a good airflow running though it. and you peg it down well. you have more chance of pulling off a good grow but good air circulation is impotent come the budding months. if the weather takes a turn for the worst. but good luck my friend whatever you decide to do. even 1 oz is a bonus because it pay for the seeds you bought but if others are pulling grows off i cant see why you cant lots pack it in the first year after failure. ive grown royal purple kush great plant but that was indoors. but i think most kushes what i remember are late finishers i think about 10 or 11 weeks to flower but with so many different strains now some might be quicker and if you already bought the seeds like you say you going to force flower anyway you didn't say how you going to do this which method you going to use my buddy pulled a outdoor grow off by doing this but his plants were in 7 litre pots so were manageable to look after and not to big so he used to cover them with think black bin liners barneys farm blue cheese was the strain worked a treat but i dont think were ideal to grow outdoors in the uk but were quick finishers . if you haven't already bought the seeds try choosing another strain. more suited to outdoors and an 8 week finisher. but the best of luck to you.

Hindu kush is endogenous to old India mountains (now Afghanistan and Pakistan mountains), not the med. I agree Mediterranean weather would be optimal, but the strain has resilience
I'm gonna move the ladies inside or somewhere until its dark then ill place them back in their positions when it gets dark.
Or I might keep them inside or something overnight then take them out when the sun reaches my garden.
50days is just over 7 weeks so even if it does go over it shouldn't be longer than 9 weeks at the most
I was gonna test different growing methods w each plant.
I'm gonna leave 1 to grow natural
Mainline 1
LST 1
Only Topping on one
Only Fim on one
I probably gonna endup in 23 litre pots but imma transplant along the way. Normally I start in solos then transplant into final pots. This time I'll work my way up each size- solo cup, 8litre, 16 litre, 23litre

good luck wiggy 21 im at lat 51 so lots of rain down with me. and if you can bring them in like you say and move them about im sure you be able to pull a grow off. and its worth experimenting to see how you get on. my mate use to remove a quarter of the bottom branches on his plants because as he said small bud not worth bothering with and leave all the goodness of the plants go to the tops. he recons it also helps air circulation.
Yeaaaahhhh. I defoliate bottom skirts too. I should've done it a bit more on this grow. There's a bit of larf

The best way to find a spot is,,, drive down the motorway and pick a random location off the motorway where nobody goes

Yeah I’ve got a spot mate, do you know any websites with a tutorial on outside growing since I don’t know we’re to start, what seeds to get, what compost to use?
