A non-auto entering flower early? w/pics

[Six9]

She's a feminized Acapulco Gold sativa topped once very early. She's been outside for 53 days. Still a long day here, current sunrise 7am sunset 8pm.

I tended to her yesterday and she appears to be entering flower! Not an auto, is this possible?

I'm very proud of her thus far she freakin exploded..

Thats thirteen hours of daylight depending on strain and maturity plants can begin flowering as early as 14 hours daylight outdoors. The 12/12 cycle is for indoors. So yes it looks like your somewhere in the realm of first or second week of flower. Congratulations and happy growingg!!

Cool I thought 12/12 was for outdoor too. Thanks that's great news

Do I see signs of russet mites with those tacoing leaves?

I don't think it's russet mites from what I can see, but there is a little taco action going on.

There's water on the leaves it was raining and flash made things glisten. I've been using SM -90 which is like neem oil, things look good but I'll take a closer look. It's been very hot and humid, leaves droop at night I've noticed. I'll take a close look this weekend

The leaves are supposed to droop at night, there's no light so they don't waste the energy if they aren't taking anything in from it. At least in my experience. Looks good though, nice work so far.

I kinda figured they drop at night, I mostly get out there at night but hit a couple sunny mornings and she's perky.

Thanks.. I fell in love with the outdoor thing. It was unplanned, I popped too many seeds for an indoor grow. I figured what the hell but wow this things exploded, she's over 4' x 3' now and is just beginning flower with hearty main colas and plenty of secondary bud sites.

I dug a 3x3 and filled it with coco brick, Canadian peat, natural soil and 15tbs FF Marine Cuisine. PH water and rain.

I dream of the day when I don't have to be stealthy and keep mine hidden behind fences, blocked by bushes and kept a secret but in FL that is but a pipe dream for now. There's a really good chance it will be on the ballot next year which should help as it's a presidential election year. Last year we had our first election with it and we had a 58% - 59% yes vote. However, and Florida is the only state to require this I believe, we needed 60%. So close it hurt. Soon though the green grass and high tides will be rolling in and we will be better for it.

Keep up the good work buddy, you give people like me an outlet to live vicariously.

Haha well said! Yeah so close on that vote that's a shame. I'm close.. but nothing put to vote here yet
