Hello Dankwolf,
First of all, I wanted to thank you for running such a detailed report, I am enjoying every bit of it.
So, a small resume to clear things up.
- On the 14th of April you moved Critical Sour, Maroc, Chem OG and Dream Berry in the green house.
- 2-3 weeks later, the Critical Sour started flowering, so approximately around beginning of May? Is that right?
- All the others, in the greenhouse, are not flowering at all, correct?
Look, I am sorry for the "too" early flowering of the Critical Sour, but it should not come as a surprise. Why?
The reason is very simple, and you already pointed it out. Most of our outdoors strains are indeed semi-autoflowering, so basically photoperiodic varieties with early maturing, fast flowering features and that flower under low-light condition.
Early maturing is the trait that allows the plant, when switching to 12/12 or when going from vegging to flowering outdoor, to slightly accelerate the step to the next phase and start flowering quicker.
Fast flowering means a shorter flowering phase.
Low-light condition means that the plant is more sensitive to darkness, meaning that as soon as dark hours increase, starting the 21st of June, plants will start developing sexual traits and then enter the flowering phase much earlier than normal photoperiodic strain.
Besides this, Critical Sour, one in thirty plants can autoflower but I am not sure if that's the case...because if you germinated seeds in January, it's strange that it started flowering in May only.
Even though, as you said, you used a supplemental light, the Critical Sour did not really care and flowered for the difference of dark/light hours between the indoor and the greenhouse. It's very sensitive strain, but I believe you can definitely reveg.
Anyhow, keep up the great work, things arre looking fantastic already! Personally, can't wait to see the Dream Berry since that variety it's a brutal stretchy girl, I am sure it will provide you with a nice tree
Take care and all the best,
Mr B.
Hey looking forward to watching this grow.
I went with this battery timer last year for my drip and it worked out great.
