UK Monster Grow - Swiss Cheese

I'm growing a farm of swiss cheese plants outdoors in the north east of england. This is my second grow. Last year I planted too late, this year is a different story and I have a much earlier flowering strain which is slightly more suited to the cold wet climate here.

Anyway, after a decent hot summer start I have got 45 decent plants growing well.

The 2 green pots on the left are an unknown strain that I got from a bag of weed.

what's the difference between swiss cheese and original uk cheese, if there is one?

Swiss cheese is a hybrid of Swiss Miss and skunk #1 from Nirvana. The original UK cheese can only be obtained from cuttings as far as Im aware.

The reason I chose swiss cheese is because I grew swiss miss last year and it is very tolerant to the bad weather here and I heard that this new hybrid is just as tolerant as swiss miss but a bit higher in thc from the skunk #1 side of it. Also I seen a few Irish growers with swiss cheese who had a decent yield and they have pretty much the same weather as us.

Iv'e got a few questions for you, just in need of some advice:

When should I put these outdoor?
Do I need to repot these soon?
Should they be in pots outdoors or should i just let them grow in some compost/manure?

i know you probably already know this bud but you should really try and give all the seedlings there own pots or the roots will fight eachother for space and such and it will kill them.looks good tho dude!what part of the uk you from north or south of the border?

Ok thanks I'll get that done then, I just had a shortage of small pots when I started. I think I am going to try and put each of them in there own 1 gallon pot so I might need a bigger greenhouse. I'm growing in the North East.

Here is an update, sorry about the wait. A lot of things have happened since the update. I put the 46 plants outside in the ground today. I had quite a bad slug problem inside the greenhouse so hopefully this should fix it. When clearing the area ready for the plants I stumbled across a wasp nest but I decided to leave it because it's probably good for the plants protection from flies and they also deter people from the area. Anyway here you go:

Nice grow...have any police issues there? i.e. helicopters? If so, you should plant the plants that are in the ground in scattered, random patterns. Plants don't grow in neat rows like you have, naturally. They're easier to identify from the air the way you have em.' Other wise, everything is ire man...looking good. I just put my swiss cheese into the ground yesterday. Cheers and good luck!

Well there's the occasional pork chopper but it's never hovering and nearly always occupied. Not many people do this here so the pigs dont really want to waste fuel looking.

oh mate there a bit close together , i hope this doesnt shit on the yeilds later on

myself i started a few off at about the same time stuck under the shade of a tree , theres about 60 odd sk1 and i wish i knew why the hell i started them off in the first place , guess it seemed a good idea , what really doesnt help mind is the others which are a range of plants mostly about 5 foot tall now and doing very well , there the result of clones started off for a bit of gurilla that got too large to take out , im kinee deep at the minute

It doesnt seem to be affecting them that much they are at least 1 ft next to each other, and I can easily just bend them away from each other if it does become a problem.

Anyway here is a few more photos which is of today (2 days later) just to show you how quick they are growing, everything is completely organic:
