Just in case any of you haven't heard about this yet. John Lee Pedimore is giving away free F2 seeds again. This time it's Haze. That's a great strain to grow outdoors here in Florida. Here's a link to his thread. PM him with your safe addy. He's been giving away free seeds for a long time and many of us are happy customers.

crunks.....thats cool bro.. I remember you from OG and your knoweledge and growing skills are much welcome here. It's hard to get used to at first I know, the threads move much slower and we have a lot of lurkers who do not say much. Like I said I don't mean to offend and I take nothing personal from you my friend.
Please stick around! It gets better everyday here.....new server coming very soon!!

Naaaaaa! Fuck That! Just have to grow some better pot
Anyone miss me? Certainly not tropical, who done run off with Jaz. Geez! Caint turn my back a second! Waaaah! LOL
Nice to see the thread revived Jazzy, and that your girls will recover.
I have to head outside and throw a baby pool over my girl today. We've having a pool party so she needs to hide! Don't want anyone getting any ideas, kwim?
and one question, if IC & OG are so down on boobies, why do they allow avtars depicting t/a? Just wondering aloud.
Have a good one! I'm headed for the pool
Oh, and I almost forgot! I pm'd JLP and should have some beans early this week! Another good thing about this site being so small, you end up on the top of the list pretty quick! Wish me luck, the last batch never made it XXXXXXX

Hey guys, below is the post I made at OG. I'd like to get input from the good Floridians here at IC too. Thanks for your comments.
I see people keep asking about when to start outdoors in Florida. There are more questions asked on this topic than any other in this thread. I think it's time for us to write a detailed FAQ on it and paste it into one of the first posts in the thread.
I’ll get this started and then you guys can review my draft and make comments to improve it. First, we need to see what’s already in the OG on this. As far as I can tell, the only FAQ related to this topic is one that lists the average first and last frost days for a few selected cities. It shows Tampa usually gets their first and last frost in January, and Miami is frost free. [faq]1445[/faq]
The most important points to keep in mind are:
I keep moms, clone, and veg indoors and then treat the great outdoors here as a huge flowering room. That way, you keep most of the odor and heat away from your home and you take advantage of the powerful free grow lamp in the sky. Find a couple stoner friends who have sunny backyards and put one small bush or bed of tiny clones out there each month. That will give you and your friends plenty stash to keep everybody happy.
Yes, April is a good time if you want your seed plants to veg a bit outdoors. Start sexually mature clones a few weeks later. What do you mean about October being a good time to start?
That’s right. Just remember that 8 inch buds aren’t bad if you have enough of them.
Well, he’s just saying that a male wont give you an 8 inch bud, it will just give you a few balls.
What do you mean by normal?
Bingo!
My first outdoor grow was Jamaican sativa too. I put two mature plants out in March and they started to flower right away, producing about six ounces. The second round went out in June and they flowered right through the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Those plants must have had some indica in their genetics to flower early like that.
Yes, many strains will flower no matter when you put them outside.

The most important points to keep in mind are:
- Genetics determine how much darkness a plant will need to flower. The number of hours of uninterrupted darkness each night that will induce blooming is called that plant’s “critical night length.” This is usually around ten to eleven hours. So, indoor growers keep the limit the dark period to six hours to keep plants in veg, and switch to twelve hours to induce flowering. That probably covers 99% of the plants.
- The longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere is in late June, and the shortest day is around Christmas.
- The closer you are to the equator the less fluctuation there is in day length. It’s 12/12 every day of the year on the equator.
- Plants wont start to flower until they are sexually mature. This can take a couple months and the exact amount of time is affected by the plant’s genes. Clones will have the maturity of the mother. So, young seedlings will stay in veg even when given long nights, but mature clones will start to flower when they are given long enough nights. I think there’s an FAQ on how to tell when a plant is sexually mature.
- I’ve seen several plants flower right through the longest day of the year (shortest night).
- The shorter veg season we have here is actually an advantage in many ways. The plants stay shorter, so they’re more stealthy. The lower yield can be compensated by planting more plants and having more flowering seasons. The longer you leave your plants outside, the more you expose them to loss due to pests, pestilence, poachers, or police.
- Frost isn't good for Cannabis plants, so, if you live someplace that gets cold in the winter, you should put up some kind of temporary greenhouse on the cold days. I've seen some clear pup tents that are made for this purpose and I posted a link to them in the previous Florida growers thread. Or, you can rig something yourself with a clear plastic tarp, like Visqueen.
