I grew a couple of EQs last year (North Wales as well), only two germinated which were attacked by insects and a fungus, taking most of the leaves off. They didn't finish as early as I'd hoped - around mid-late Oct, but they were in the ground, not pots. I've got another pack of EQ for this year as well as the Devil clones I have. Devil are advertised for greenhouse/outdoor.
I read about a technique (I think on this site) where the plant is vegged under 24 hours light to maturity (indoors/greenhouse) then placed outside in July where it will spontaneously flower, even under summer hours. Not tried it myself. I'm going to get a couple of plastic dustbins to force flower a couple this year.
Incidentally, the EQ were the first MNS seeds I tried; when I mentioned the germ rate to Shanti he sent me a pack of SSH! Since then I've grown SSH and Devil, have BW starting to flower now, and G13/Sk and G13/W in the fridge for a future grow. Funny to think I might not have them all if the first EQ had germinated.

hi Dogstar,
a non auto variety will not flower under 'veg lighting' no matter how mature it is.
Note 'veg lighting' is different for different strains as different genetics respond differently to different photoperiods.
If you see a plant flowers (indoors or outdoors) , with more than 12 hrs of darkness per day it only means that the hrs of darkness it receives are enough for inducing flowering for this strain.
Some strains flower with ~12 hrs of darkness other strains need more others less.
Many strains can flower with around 10-11hrs of darkness and I believe this is the case with the example you mention you had read.

Chapter 9 - Darkening , Or Weatherproofing Plants
During Their Final Weeks
Shanti Covers This Stage Where One Can Force Flower ( By Placing In Total Darkness For 12 Hours ).
I Use A Similar Technique By Putting The Girls To bed @ 8 Pm , And Then Bringing Them Out @ 8 A.M
This Speeds Up Flowering , And Helps Compensate For Our Unpredictable Welsh Weather
This Little Turk Was Force Flowered Last Summer ( If You Could Call It That )

Hi Dogstar i understand what youre saying but they could be cloned but it would be a waste of time.
No point going on with this as its a non starter i suppose.
Quite a good yield for the plant sizes of the outdoor auto's.
JoeKingPark your 4th, 5th and 6th pictures above, just how big were they when they finished?
