Thanks for all the advice guys Now I just have one more question. My brother has a violater kush plant that he started back in April and its starting to flower. He was wondering If it was ok to flower it indoors under an hps light even though he started it outdoors and is already starting to bud.
So outdoor growing is highly dependent on summer and autumn solstice. The longest and shortest days of the year. Theoretically you'd put your plants, already about a week or two from profiting, into either the ground, or a big 10+gal bucket and place it outside on may 21. The longest day of the year.
From here on, your plants will be in veg and grow as they will be getting lots of lights and not more than let's just say 10 hours of darkness. You'll notice that the days are getting shorter, and pretty soon, the nights WILL consists of 12 hours of darkness. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
Who's I was way off, no typo here. Why do I have the date 5/21 in my head for some reason? I did mean spring solstice though. And yeah I knew autumn solstice wasn't correct but I couldn't think of the right wordProbably just typos- but obviously there is no such thing as autumn solstice.
Summer solstice is around June 21 -not in May. I live fairly far up north so at that time we have 24 hour light- around 3am being a bit dimmer sort of twilight before the sun pops up again.
Normally I would want to get my plants in way earlier than that.
Autumn equinox (12/12 lighting roughly for most of the planet) is around Sept 21. This is spring equinox for the Southern Hemisphere.
Winter Soltice is around Christmas - the shortest day and pretty much solid darkness where I am
Outdoor plants (proper varieties) start flowering when daylight drops below 15 hrs. Usually it's something about 14,5. The more down south you go (nearer to equator) the faster they bloom.
Indica dominated genes have to become sexually mature before they flower. That varies, but it is like 4-6 weeks. After that when the lighting starts to decrease in the day they will flower.
If you take a clone outside (already sexually mature) it will start to flower as soon as the light photo period reaches the level that makes that strain flower (14-12 hours of light per day). I have never grown WW so I am not sure what it's specific requirements are.
If you plant a seed in May or June of an Indica dominate strain you are usually good to go. You will get a reasonably sized plant and it will not flower early.
With Sativa dominate strains they take longer and are not photo period sensitive. A typical Sativa in it's natural setting spends all it's life in the tropics, where there are no photo period seasons. The plant receives the same amount of light it's entire life (generally 12-12 on the equator).
It seems to me, that depending on where you live, you are likely to get bugs on your plants when planted outdoors. Not sure who pulls this off without bugs, but I would like to know.
Sun dep growing is what I do all the time. The quality achieved that way is probably the best I've tried so far.[/QUOTE
I'm super excited. Any must reads in the mean time?
Just try to understand that flowering under sun on an artificial photoperiod is very special, but it's also kinda easy. You just need to go below 14 hrs of light, keep it constantly and you're gonna finish without any problems. If you have heat spikes durimg the summer be careful with watering though, cause you really want to stay on top of things and prevent any problems especially in early veg. How many plants are we talking?
