Erdpurt indoors and outdoors info?

[nordsman]

Looking for solid info on this strain. My objective is to find a good solid hardy resitant pheno that will hold vedge under 24 hour light. Be able to make clones and put outdoors and have them start flowering under. 16hrs daylight for that Manitoba summer.

This will give me a few weeks of outdoor vedging for size then start flowering mid June.

This pheno mother would be priceless for Manitoba growing

Any thoughts if finding a pheno like that is possible?

Anyone try erdpurt indoors?

Hi nordsman,

ErdPurt is a very desirable indica to grow outdoors in northern latitudes.

ErdPurt is not an auto flowering strain, you can keep clones of your favourite parental plants indoors, for that it's important to provide them long photoperiods of at least 20 hours of light/day and don't restrict the size of the pot, otherwise they will try to flower.
We keep ErdPurt parental plants for years in our indoor mother room.

Some ErdPurt parental plants have semi auto flowering traits, they will try to flower when the photoperiod is under 16 hours light/day, especially if they came from indoors with higher photoperiods or when the outdoor photoperiod is decreasing after summer solstice.

I would recommend you to start them from seed directly outdoors in spring as soon as your climate allows it, then let them adapt naturally to the northern photoperiod of your latitude. This will give you the chance to grow bigger plants than using clones.

I don't think they will start to flower in June before summer solstice, unless they came from indoors with a photoperiod with more than 20 hours of light/day, most likely they will start to flower after the summer solstice when they feel the days are getting shorter.

Hope it helps.

Sounds good thanks..this info is extremely valuable.

My last frost is typically June 10-14...there is always one last suprise June frost here..every year no matter how awesome and early spring seems to be...then light frosts can start anytime in september...brutal high humidity .rain and wind....but you do get about 90 days growing season under 18-16 hours daylight..

If you still have frosts in June then i would recommend you to start them indoors before, with exactly the same photoperiod than outdoors at that time of the year, then when the frosts finish move the plants outdoors. By doing this you can win some extra weeks of growing that will be very important to later produce plants with decent size.

Yep...that's the plan...well accustomed to starting plants early..

I'll match the solstice hours indoors and transplant on the solstice...its only about a week after the last frost anyways...

Awesome info thanks again...

Im looking to try 3-4 different strains for next summer...

Erdpurt is top of that list
