How long will the plants outside keep flowering here? I have 5 female that i put outside till i got my 1000 watt hps and they have started flowering , i plan on putting them under the light this weekend. would this mess them up if i maybe went to 18/6 or 20/4 for a week or so till they get about 2 feet tall then flower? Thanks...........Herb

...ALL YEAR.Even @ 14hrs 30;From my exp :wink:
In most cases >>>YES..But the problem be>>>>HEAT/Humidity..Unless we have an extremely dry season.You see the buds are just so dence and AFTER may and even now,when the morn dew,fog heat; heats up them buds that have been drenched.This is only PART of the problem.LOL, Yall gonna laugh @ this one. Believe it or NOT, You know them pretty butterflies? Not to mention the lil brown/white moths that just love the SS state?
That come from>>> Worms of "MANY" dif species. These are and will be REALY thick after may.They crap in the buds and the dew washes it down into heart of bud thus causing major rot..

Just so happens :wink:
Pefect example.

If you put them out and they are budding.Why not harvest the buds and revegg thru all the HOT months June,july aug? These months are the crucial months for VEGGING :wave:
<<ws>>

Edit: To answer y/queston though about will it hurt them >>NO,but I would reccomend going 24/7 light to bring them back unless auto-flower then I wouldnt waste time trying to get them back.Just letem run and when may comes be sure and SHAKE morn dew :wink: And inspect under leaves
 
Thanks man i didnt know if anyone would ever answer,
I still have them outside but i put them under some fish tanks that i turned upside down to make little greenhouses, they work good for me and the dew wont get to the plants.I just put them under the tanks so it'll be a few days to see if the prob corrects itself. They are still budding and the hairs are starting to turn orange so when they are done i will harvest and leave the plants there to keep growing, i took some clones and started a few seeds that i can put under my 1000 in a couple weeks, i'm going to start a grow thread for the new growroom soon. Thanks...........Herb

Alright Sunshine crew whats up?....

It be awfully quite round here lately. Still got last wave of plants out.Should be out of the swamp by weeks end. A word of advice to our "new" fla growers. Its a wise choice
to keep ya set of cheap 40 wtt floros to keep fresh clones under @ all times thru hot months.Plants grow good in veg stage and will grow like crazy.Only thing is;Most likely if flowering the plant WILL/CAN NOT handle the heat/humidity pest, hurricanes ect..

So,in my years of growing I have addapted and fine tuned this. 24 hrs of light,as well as a good mature clone will insure that you will have enough smoke to get ya thru:wink:..If one is smart they will plant on each side of the summer.early spring,mid/late spring is ABSALUTELY the best.End of Feb-First of april is the window:wink:..Late aug early sep the weather again gets nice or will be shortly.Only thing is hunting season will be to.
Good luck.

I'm going to grow out a few sour bubble #3's over the summer under 24/7 and take clones every couple weeks, i'll do that with my others too, the only plants i'm growing that i haven't tried are the sweet tooth #3 clones, the SB3's and the only phoenix haze female that i got. I hope to put out around 25-30 females at the end of august to have an outdoor crop, and have plants under my 1000, it's a really bright light lol : ) Thanks..........Herb

lets try this again

lets try this again

hey i am here in swfl. and i have grown with my brother in the past but this is really my first solo go at it so i will probably be needing a bit of help to ensure doing it right. well this is where i am now. i have two "mothers" from bag seed , i know bag seed is a waste of time but at the time i had no seeds so that had to do. anyway i have taken clones and rooted them and am planning to put them in a bubble bucket set up unless someone has a better suggestion fo a space about 4x8. i have always grown outside until my bro started indoor and he swears by the buckets, unfortunately he is a bit stingie and wont even hook me up with some real genetics what a dick huh, his own brother!!! oh well i plan to show him and i know i can do it with the help of this site. thanks folks and i will update. btw i acquired some cola feminized seeds and germed 4 1 has popped but i was told that the fems. are hermies alot. thanks again hope to get to know some of you through this.

hey Flibble! :) bag seed is great practice, and does just fine. espcially if you enjoyed the smoke the first time around :)

what are cola feminized seeds? the females often turn hermie as well? you're better off with the bagseed then! :teef:
