I'm wondering if anyone has any information on when to start seedlings indoors in my specific region (SE 34N Lat.) I'm getting different info from various sites and have yet to gain an understanding of what would be the best course of action. I think that this thread title would help a lot of people with their research, as I couldn't find very specific information when I typed in 34N Latitude.
Strain: Serious 6 and Critical Jack (bred for short flowering times)
Area: Outdoor
Last Frost: April 20th
Hours of Daylight April 20th = 13:11 (+1 twilight etc.?)
Hours of Daylight May 20th = 14:01 (+1?)
Hours of Daylight June 20th = 14:24 (+1?)
Hours of Daylight July 20th = 14:05 (+1?)
Hours of Daylight Aug 20th = 13:15 (+1?)
I saw a thread which had the advice of a grower in this state, and he said to start seeds indoors on the first of March! This would mean nearly a two month veg indoors before putting out April the 20th. Seems to me that this would cause flowering. I do want some monsters, but I think that this can still be achieved with less risk of early flowering of an older plant. I have heard people say that they veg under the same amount of light as they will be putting it out into once the season starts, but when I contacted the breeder (Dutch) he said that it should be under 18 hours of light from the start because otherwise it would not be good for the plants overall growth and development. He said it would be fine to veg indoors under 18 hours of light and then throw it out around the end of April, all while also telling me that it has a hair trigger flower..lol. He said in Holland they put it out at the end of May. In his area at the end of April, they have just shy of 14:52 (+1) hours light! So I don't think I need to take that advice if I plan to veg indoors.
If anyone has experience with outdoor in this area I would greatly appreciate the help. I can't afford to loose a crop to re-veg with the prices of genetics being what they are in this draconian hell hole. HELP!!!!
