Hi guys - I was going to try auto's to try and beat this climate but not sure - I should have a decent greenhouse this year and I can probably rig up a heat source for late fall - what you suggest I try??
Great question!
With a greenhouse, I am pretty sure you can keep the temperature and humidity dialed-in. As the temperature drops in the late fall, this will help your plants to understand the end is nearing, so they will bulk up their buds and trichomes accordingly.
Maybe you can try what I have landed on - regular photoperiods where possible - a few THC strains and a few CBD strains.
This will allow you to mix the cured THC and CBD at a ratio that works best for your body's physiology.
In veg, by the time the plants have 6 to 8 nodes, you will be able to tell if the plants are male and female.
The other reason I want to try regular photoperiods is because I ultimately want to try capturing pollen and fertilizing a female plant to have my own seeds.
Of course, if you are in a hurry, have limited space, or want to grow a popular strain that does not come as regular seeds, then use feminized seeds or autoflower seeds from a strong parent strain.
