Well Ill be away from this location for most of the summer, it's more of a case of not wanting to waste decent looking seeds than hoping for a decent smoke, even if it ended up all seedy and lowgrade I could always save the seeds for the following year and make butter/cooking oil from the bud. :D
Cheers for the advice, main question - Southeast Wales, when? (dont laugh =P) My guess would be whenever seems like the 'start of summer'.
If I look for outdoor sites, i have to be happy that there is no way anyone is going to stumble across them, the water table is not going to be too far down, the aim is to not have to return till harvest time. Myabe one visit after 4 weeks or so just to check you don;t have to remove any encroaching weeds, brambles, nettles, then once they're established they should grow up and out of all the weeds...
The chances of your seeds budding to fruition is very unlikely. Unless you use ones that are known to be triggered into flowering early.
Depends on your living circumstances. For outdoors, I've got some Frisian Dew seeds. I'll probably germ them in the next couple of weeks, then grow them in the house on a bright windowsill for a couple of weeks. Then move them down to my allotment shed, repot them, and put them in the light by the window. Then come mid April start leaving them out in a very sheltered spot to harden off. Then they'll be planted out in their secret locations mid May time, by which time they should be a good 12-18inches tall....
Use chicken wire wrapped round them to protect from rabbits and deer. Make sure the soil is not too acid, dig in lime about now if it needs to be deacidified...also plenty of decent organic matter if you can...
By the time you've gone to all that effort it seems a bit ludicrous trying to save 30 odd quid on seeds that have a good chance of maturing.
Also, you mention saving seeds from the seeded bud to use the following year...again, these will likely be hermies too. Also you'll fuck off anyone else trying to grow outdoors within a 5 mile radius as your hermie pollen will ruin their sensi too....I don't know how it's been proven, but I read somewhere once that outdoor crops in southern spain are often pollinated by pollen from North African bushweed...
The best thing to do with the seeds from seeded bud is....
One of the bonuses of oldskool weed was all the seeds. I know most find 'em annoying but they also have great comedic potential. Scattered liberally outside the police stations was always a favourite (they had window baskets at our local pigpen too
) or hanging baskets around town, window baskets at shops/pubs, public parks, etc, etc. Not that they're ever gonna last long enough to be harvested but is fun seeing how far along the get before anybody notices :D
+1 , this is the best thing to do with seeds from seeded buds.
Oh yeah, in weed news, i bought a half oz of white widow a couple of days ago...it was nice and dry, but was still on the stems, and i said to the bloke selling it me, who was also the grower, that I didn't like the big bits as there's so much stalk in there...
so he gave me a 17g half oz to make up for the stalks
