What i posted was
Lots of people are more focused on the speed of flower than they are the quality of flower in my opinion i saw this with the Mango Haze test seed people culled the plants because they took to long to flower.
The plants were to sativa acted like jungle sativas they said that really shocked me as they signed on to grow a haze hybrid what did they expect ?.
Out of all the people that were given the Mango haze test seed to grow only me and Jesse completed the grows.
People cull the long flowering sat hybrids and call them impractical biggest mistake they could make they could be throwing out the best plants and not even realize it.
Agreed, it's completely pointless culling some long flowering sativas too early. I took an OT purple haze to 26 weeks once.
The other factor can be a long cure. Some sativa's are totally different after a decent cure.
Why would people except testing a long flowering type only to say it's taking too long. Makes no sense to me. There's no point in testing plants that are long flowering if you can't wait. There is a requirement when people accept testing. if anyone gave me that excuses they wouldn't be testing again.
;hempy , yes I know you have grown outdoors ,
I wonder if by july and august , its likely quite cold where you live , during the days ...
I wish you had some pictures to share of those grows ,
but we were referring to finishing times where I live vs your indoor grow ,
do you mind me asking how long your thai takes to flower indoors from seed ??
it does seem like its a longer period of flower indoor vs outdoor due to as mentioned the natural elements coming into play ,
cooler , dryer , sun at a different arc ,, etc ...
we don't tend to mimic those things indoors , and I ponder that and the spectrum is what makes things take longer ,
and sometimes they seem to keep growing and never finish ...
hey hempy ,
your reference to what you have seen indoor vs outdoor is based on the climate you grew those outdoor plants in ,
the same will not be true in a different climate , somewhere with more intense sunshine for instance and i have not found this where i live ,
in fact i have found the opposite , the outdoor stuff has less leaf and tastes far superior to the indoor ,
particularly since i grow strictly organically,
your not quite seeing the complete picture because you are looking out a tiny window ,
you are ignorant, ie lacking information or knowledge,
you base your "opinions| on a limited knowledge base and have barely been out of your backyard to see anything different ..
ps ,, in climates like where those thai sticks came from , they are predictable ,
its not like the climate you live in ,
the rain finishes the same time every year ,
its sunny and dry after that...
we have a climate nearby me exactly the same,
they have 300 plus sunny days a year ,
the weather is quite predictable , it happens pretty much the same year in year out ...
you can set your watch by it even ...
Unless you have a perfect season of weather, indoor is a better baseline.... Outdoor would be glorious in good season though.. I still have faith in indoor overall though, because you can drive the vpd and you don't have to deal with clouds..Theres still a lot of people that dont realize LED is good now, and a lot of people that think you cant grow sativa indoor, or indoor weed isn't as good.. Just not true at all. LEDs are amazing. Being able to light the corner of your tent just as bright as the center (with HID only 1 point of light you have strong center ppfd, and weak corner ppfd). You can do hot and humid days with intense light to drive the plants with the humidity as a safety net from burning/rushing nutes.... You can do hot humid and low light so the plants can heal and not overeat... You can do cool dry and low light so plants can soak up some food and have low light as a buffer so they don't overwork... I like to control things intuitively accordingly to the plants situation, or how they look..
At the end of the day though, all of us sativa and haze lovers gotta love each other so people get a chance to smoke real weed instead of just 50 day commercial bud.
I'd be interested to see the how everyone feeds their OHaze. Or any of the long flowering sativas.
hey hempy ,
yes i agree in most cases indoor climate is more reliable than outdoor ,
though I don't agree its better
and I reject the idea that only genetics controls the end product ,
in order to get the very best , you ideally grow things where they have become adjusted to over time ,
you know like bananas , pineapples , papaya ,, etc grow better in warmer climates ,
sure you can grow them outside those , and in green houses etc , but they are not quite as good ,
I'm not making this up man , its factual ...

It sounds like were you are donald you may be getting higher levels of strong far red light and probably alot more uv. In most places away from the equatorial line ive see outdoor bud comes out with more leaves and fluffier bud. Its one of the reasons it usually fetches a lower price in most places in the world. I do know Australia has some of the highest uv levels on the planet....the same may hold true for some parts over there getting alot more far red than most places too.
