Hello,

you are welcome, no, but you can spray rotten urine mixed with crushed garlic and tea made of oregano, sage and pepper on the plants. A frame of thorns (I use bramble sticks) also helps to keep rabbits, rats, mice, hermelins, racoons and so on at distance.

If you keep the plants healthy and inspect them intimately often when buds ripen then you should not see much mould! Cannabis adapts to many environments. It is sensitive; if you are ignorant or ill-minded it goes bad, but if you treat it good it flourishes.

The irish outdoors and greenhouses can bear weed of great quality. Which climates should be good for outdoor strains like Guerilla's Gusto, if not the irish? The autumns of temperate and sub-arctic regions are either cloudy and rainy (an oceanic climate and the influence of gulf or north-pacific stream) or shivering cold (a continental climate or in the influence of the cold ocean streams where noone lives). Sensi writes "up to the 65th degree" which means Finland where hemp has been grown for at least 3.000 years.

Uli, you're being unhelpful again.
 
If you read what I wrote, you will see that I said it's possible to grow weed in Ireland, but it takes a lot of luck and know-how. This is the truth, whether you like to admit it or not.
 
Cannabis grown outdoors in Ireland's cold and wet climate will neverbe of the same quality as cannabis grown in ideal conditions.
 
There is no point in misleading a new grower by pretending that it's just as easy to grow good-quality weed in Finland or Ireland as it is in a warm and sunny climate like Spain or southern France. In actual fact, Finland has a better climate than Ireland when it comes to growing cannabis, even though it is further north.
 
Also, hemp cultivation in Finland was undertaken solely for the production of fibre. There is a huge difference between growing cannabis for fibre and growing cannabis to get good-quality, smokeable bud.

Hello,

Guerilla'a Gusto is one of the earlier maturing of Sensi's outdoor strains. They are meant for latitudes from the 50th to the 65th degree, and not for best-case scenarios but for reliable harvests. Ganja wrote last year:
If you want bigger plants, the strains on the Outdoor list should have no trouble growing outdoors in Ireland without the aid of a poly-tunnel.
Four Shiva Shanti ladies of four matured outdoors near Cologne: (Seeded bud, shitty camera, but what a taste!)

Ireland is in the gulf stream although not in its end where the warm water hits the surface. Finland, especially near the baltic sea, has better weather, yes, but only between May and the equinox. The Isle of Man between Ireland and Britain usually has 100 sun hours in September and 50 sun hours in October; that is enough if the plants get them all.

well fingers crossed your right Uli They'll certainly be getting the full amount of hours of sunlight only thing I'm really worried about is the pissy rain we're having. When they're flowering that could be a big factor because I won't have anyway to protect them and my buds could turn to mould :(

Im possibly gonna grow a few indoors under a light and timer, the only thing is that they will be left unsupervised for up to 6 days so they will need watering. My friend has heard of a way of autowatering the plants by putting a piece of rope in a bucket of water and leaving the other end feeding the plant through the rope sucking up the water. Sounds logical, you guys any ideas??

thanks a lot guys sorry if the post is a bit confusing, pretty whacked

here's a few pics to keep you guys updated with my grow roughly seven weeks since I've planted them.

A few of them were hurt in the car journey and the tops of them were either bent/cut. I have secure them to sticks to keep them upright so hopefully they should right themselves soon.

Any ideas what could be causing the yellow spots and the bottom newest set of leaves to die in the same plant???

cheers guys have a good smoke
