Hi all,
I am currently in the process of growing CBD for my wife.
Last year I moved house and as a result I am trying my first ever outside grow.
I have 5 plants which are all ACDC strain. They are currently 6 foot tall.
I have been looking up light and temperature charts for my area and I have a concern, I hope people can share their advice:
The days begin to be 12 hours on September 25th:
From the info I have on the ACDC strain it takes 10 weeks to complete flowering.
This means that the plants may still be flowering in December. However at this time the temperature will be between 3 and -2 degrees:
So my concern is that this will be too cold for the plants to finish flowering healthily and with potent CBD. I have read online that plants should have between 20 and 30 degrees in flowering.
So I am worried!
One idea that I had was to move the plants in to a utility room I have attached to my house for 12 hours each day. It is completely dark in the utility room, however there is no air flow. So I am concerned that locking plants in a small room for 12 hours each day would also be unhealthy because of the lack of fresh air.
Another idea I had was to only put the plants in to the utility room for a few hours each day, coinciding with the nature night time hours, to start flowering a couple of months earlier. This may mean that the plants would get more fresh air, but it would also mean that I have to move them around in the pitch black.
So I am really not sure what to do.
Any advice or general thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
