SoCal Winter Bloom

Last summer was a bust due to the heat stress, so I vegged a new crop in the fall by supplementing light in my barn. I limited my pots to 5 gal so they were easy to put inside for the extra hours of light. I put them back outside full time (greenhouse ) in December to flower since the winters are quite mild where I live. Everything was great and NO bugs which was the best ever. As of now everything seems to be a couple weeks from finishing but I am getting worried that with the days getting longer it will throw them into a re-veg state even though the days are still not quite a 12 hr day yet. (March 12 here) My question is with the days getting longer even though daylight hours are only 11.5 hrs, does it recognize the light is getting longer? Should I keep them on a strict under 12 hr in the barn to finish? Thank you!

Thanks. 33rd parallel. I'm so close to finishing on 80% and with this warm weather I just got worried about them turning.

I'm in your neighborhood. If your vegging 24 hours. You can throw them out so they finish in April with little revegg issues. Also you can put some out in June end of may and have them ready by late August

I put them out in December. So they are pretty close to finishing. Temps are hitting the 80s this week! Maybe that will give them the final push!

As long as you made it through the rains and the few nights of frost we had you should be fine. Congrats!
