ok i have a bit of land by a river that i can use to grow my own,but i need to know what seeds are best outdoors for the uk weather, i have seen some seed at the pukka seeds site that they claim can reproduce 4 times in a season and come back next year and grows like wild fire, but i also read somewhere that this is bs, any suggestions people?

Reproduce four times in an outdoor season? If that's true, I want the link, please.

I would think any relatively short-flowering indica, something that finishes in nine weeks or less, would suit you nicely. Look for a flowering time of no more than 63 days, and you should be OK.

Take a look at the autoflowering strains.

That 4 times a year thing is bollocks as well, you can re-veg plants after they've flowered but it isn't always stable.

4 Times a year! Maybe in Hawaii, but that might be a stretch.

Did you look at the 2 I linked to earlier, if I was looking at doing an ourdoor grow now I'd go with feminised auto-flowering which would push me towards the Lowryder 2 (feminised) this is one I grew earlier in the year under a light:

no not at all, the Lowryders claim to be done in 6 weeks, just make sure you keep her dry if it's pissing it down, I have 2 on my windowsill atm, I'll take some pics in the next day or 2.

This is the soil I use, enough nutes for the whole cycle (apparently) I've got 2 on the go atm:

I'm not going to add any nutes unless I really have to, these spend most of their time on the windowsill but when the suns comes out I pop them in the garden.

:D your welcome, if you ordered off the site I linked to it normally takes 2-3 days, I'm quite new to this myself but I've read and continue to read as much info re: growing as I can.
