actually getting robbed a year ago
That's the other part that has to be dealt with...If there are not enough people growing outdoors, it becomes too much of a target. A greenhouse becomes practically mandatory, in my estimation.
Would that have helped in your case?

I think it would have...but more important would be a chain link compound with a double wall construction...
something that would take a long time to get into it....

nope me either....with all kinds of security lighting...
Indoor it was the weird variable...though its possible the guy who gave me them had unstable genetic's...either way
My plants were in a light diffusing greenhouse and the security light hitting the corner of the tent and illuminating it all inside was enough to delay flowering by a couple of weeks. Didn't herm though. I have had plants herm indoors before due to light leak and probably less stable genetics is the reason the light leaks affected the plant imo.

In southern ON you should be in the ground no later than May 15th. Harden of clones outdoors in mild sun for 1 week prior to planting.

In central ontario here in gta if you put out May 15 it may revert to budding. So on the safe side I put June 1st.
Nice plant. That plant would have been gigantic if you would have started that plant indoors in Feb.

I've sent this link to many, you want your day length value to be around 15 hours in the link below to avoid flowering with most strains. As you mentioned, June 1st is your best bet in SO. I threw them in May 24 weekend a couple of years back which is as early as I've ever put them out. This year May 21st shows to hit a day length of 15 hours so you'd be Ok from there on in.

Just pick your closest city and this gives you a bunch of info:

In Northern Alberta they say June 8th is usually the safe zone to avoid late frost. You can harden the plants of in the sun on nice days, as long as you bring them in at night.

June 1st it is just to be on the safe side.. Dont really need the extra 2 weeks when I put them out 2-3ft tall already lol.
I put them outside during the day during the last week of May and bring in at night to help acclimatize the plants to the bright sun.

What nutes are everyone using? Looking for something on the cheap side in bulk
Right now I use ionic, my hydro guy talked me out of buying AN or Remo in favor of this stuff despite the fact he would have made more money off me if I bought all the other shit. I like it because it saved me a lot of money and seems to work fine, I am a fairly new grower though.
