I've noticed that the last 3 years here the frost is slowly moving its way further into November.
I'm gonna try to do the Amherst Sour Diesel outdoors this year, with one Mendocino Purple Kush. ASD has a flowering time of 9-10 weeks, hopefully I'm not pushing the limit here, I was told by a couple people here to keep it at 9 weeks maximum.. I figure screw it, lets try it anyway. The MPK has a 8-9 week flower, so hopefully I can push it till it just ambers a little bit, and it'll be turning purple by then.. hopefully by the end of October??
I don't really know when the plants will be technically full flower, and this has been driving me crazy. I assume there is less sun in areas than what this website says. I've just been going off of it.

But it says that we barely hit around a 12/12 cycle by the end of September. I guess I don't truly understand that.. because we would technically only have six weeks to flower if that was completely true. So I'm assuming, that it is only a certain amount of light that will trigger the plants. So here I'll assume that twilight and nautical
twilight, will not trigger a plant, but that maybe civil twilight will? (so then they aren't full flower until the middle of October, and I know that is not true, because we obviously harvested four 8 week flowering plants) So then, if a plant is placed on the East side of a wall that blocks the rising sun, this could potentially put her in flower slightly earlier than plants that were placed in "direct sun" all day, from rise to set. This shit has me so confused. I guess I'll just stick with harvest in "Croptober", but I want to "harvest a plant when that plant is done". I'm hoping someone will have some more insight on this.
Why not place all plants so they get either that morning shade or afternoon shade? Wouldn't this send the plants into flower a little sooner? Since our frost is earlier than most of New Mexico's, we cannot grow plants that have a 10 week or longer flowering cycle, from what I have been told. Hopefully this year the frost will stay in November.
I have a theory, that frost will keep moving further into November, with how the north arctic keeps pushing ice to the south antarctic over the recent years. Maybe I'm high, and maybe that has nothing to do with how hot or cold it gets in-land.. I'm not an astrologist or a biologist..
..but I do know that it has been staying warmer longer the last three years specifically, and increasing by the year. I wanna grow some original sativa land-race's outside here. Maybe one day my wish will come true?
