outdoors almost everything finish around third week of october. very few early strains at early october and some sativa dominant hybrids in mid November. These are the 3 category but 80% of the commerce strains finish at mid to late Oct.
Yah all our Bodhi gear should be finished , i.e. done chopping by halloween. what's the point of having a november harvest if it doesn't mean more weight?
i'm not a fan of sativas anyway, at least not the sativa doms that i see usually. i know there are some great ones out there but they are hard to find. lots of generic lemon/hazy tasting stuff is what i see when people say "sativa'

more sativa (haze) means bigger plants, more yield. cause of the 2-3 more weeks veg till early september when these sativa dom hybrids starts to flower. cant grow these strains if you have frosts in october.
Anything 9 weeks need grown indoors here
Thanks for the info
Thanks for the info
I find that indoor and outdoor flower times don't really translate as the terminal photoperiod varies from cultivar to cultivar and everything flowers straight away when the photoperiod is set to 12/12 indoors..You can have a much longer transition time outdoors....I had one strain Bomb Threat x OG/Jacks Cleaner that indoor is ready after 60 days 12/12 but outdoor didn't finish flowering until 3rd week October outdoor because its hours of terminal light were in flux until the last week of August...where some strains flower at the end of July beginning of August and are ready early October..

Impressive opener picks dude. Do you do anything for drainage or just throw those 800's right on the ground? I'm on pretty much solid clay so I've always put them up on pallets but it's getting old. Also what do you do for ammending last years dirt? Do you follow a like a Tom Hill or butte recipe?

Build a soil does testing for $25 with a free recommendation for adding amendments. They go through Logan Lab.

I sent my samples in last week to watersag in camilla Ga.
its only $7.50 for a test with 48hr turnaround
let them know you grow organic and would like recommendations to build better soil for your tomatoes
BASIC TEST 3: Available Phosphorus, Exchangeable Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, and Hydrogen, Soil pH (Water and Buffer), Cation Exchange Capacity, and Percent Base Saturation of Cation Elements. PLUS: ZINC, MANGANESE, IRON, COPPER, and BORON

Oh yeah, Logan labs wants five samples for accuracy so what a lot of people do is use each sample for one bed. So 20 smarties for $100.
