Outdoor flowering

[Alan420Ok]

Was reading some of the posts about when to expect flowering on outdoor plants. I live on the outskirts of Oklahoma City. I started with three White Widow feminized seeds. Germinated indoors and grew to a height of about six inches before putting in the ground outside. That was about May 1,2019. A little early I now know. Anyway, it’s now Aug10 and was worrying because they weren’t starting to flower. But in the last two days they are beginning to take off. Little white pistoles are popping everywhere. So excited. Used scrog method the best I could with four metal poles and a nice 4in mesh net. It’s been tremendously hot here the last month or so . I hang a white sheet over my little patch of happiness during the hottest times of the day and that seems to help quite a bit with the heat. My first attempt at growing . The base of each plant is about as round as a half dollar. To help with pests I’ve been using a Dawn dish soap and neem oil. Just be sure to use that after dark or you can burn them. Anyway, my white widows are flowering as of Aug 10. Should be ready to harvest around the end of October. YUM

Very nice. Looks like they're in good hands. Have you thought about making a grow journal? Let's other tag along your grow to help learn as well as if you need to troubleshoot anything.

If they are flowering already they will be done by the end of september early october not the end your on a good start looking good.

You can only flower outdoors in october if you live in the right climate by that time were you live weather will force harvest of fat buds that can mold easily.

Welcome! Nice looking plants you have there. I am doing my first outdoor grow as well, in-ground. I think you are right about harvest: mid- to late-October. Like someone else mentioned, a grow journal is a great idea. Good place for you to track your own notes, and for others to see what you are up to.

One minor point... my understanding is that after a week or two into flower, you don't want to be spraying with anything that could get captured in the buds and consumed later.

Good luck with the harvest!

No more night time photos with flash or they could be screwed up no light during dark flowering period.

All my outdoor plants started to flower by august tenth every year but this year i got my container to start flowering end of july so she is two weeks or more ahead of every other year my in grounds just flipped this week.Same strain Bubblegum.So containers may flower earlier than in ground plants.You will harvest her when you have to thats how we roll.Good luck.

Thank you all for your input. This is going to be fun. The thing I am

Neither i just let nature take its course but make sure there is no light on them so they get moved to darkest part of my yard every night.Last night moon light was brighter than any street lamp around so i know they will flower fine even if every night was full moon light.Stay away from bright street lamps and head light from cars on street.

 

[Alan420Ok]

Sorry. Happy fingers. The thing I am worried most about is the heat. Today it got to 105. Heat index 119. Hanging that sheet over them seems to help.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Outdoor plants get acclimated to the night light and flower fine its the level of total darkness indoor plants get that can make any amount of light brighter than full moon a problem during flowering.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Outdoor plants love the heat its in an indoor closed air environment thats worse for them outdoors they get plenty of fresh air during the hot.

Thanks for the tip on no flash’s!! Didn’t consider that but I do know they are temperamental suckers.!!
