Winter harvest???

[waxman420]

Is it worth while to flower plants in g.h. late??

I want to take a few 6 week old indoor 18/6 seedlings into greenhouse .

Sept 20th is 12/12 after 60 days it will be under 10 hours daylight .

Heat and light degrade terps and cannabinoids. So hoping for quality over quantity .

Another idea would be leave a male would seeds finish ?

Any help even ranting would be appreciated

Consider bringing them into 14/10, by lowering their dark scheduling daily by one-hour, before shocking them into 14/10 immediately.
I put mine in a greenhouse immediately from 18/6, but I was rolling mine out daily for direct 8-hrs. of sunlight until sunset, and then tenting them on that 18/6, but they'd been hardened in sunlight 8-hrs. every day for 2-months. Mine went to the GH on July 22, when there are only 13hrs.and59 min, of daylight in our latitude, thereby letting them go into 12/12 on a free-ride with nature, with no additional light supplement in the GH.

Unfortunately g.h and tent are in 2 different cities and hardening is not possible in tent town. I expect losing a week due to aclimation. I may put a few out earlier. right now it's 13 hours day and I figured that would trigger flowering immediately but they are too small .
Rechecked nov 20th is 9.5 hours sunlight looks like yield will suffer regardless if I flower now or later.

No doubt, maybe them tented on 18/6 to grow a bigger root ball w/ 20-20-20, and bloom and finish in the tent however long it takes, if your tent is light-proof. If it leaks at all, your plants will stay in veg forever. Been there.
I try and start bloom 10-30-20 (not flower) nutes 30-days before I switch to flower nutes 7-15-30

Yes I've read that. Mine are just curing after being jarred with 62rh packs in a not-so-cool shop. Lesson here, don't 62RH un-cured flowers. And everything I have stored in bubble and flower are more potent that 2-weeks after harvest or bubble processing. Some have to age for 18-mo. Mine did. So light I can understand, but heat hasn't been a degrading issue.

These would be extras after indoor tent is at max capacity .

What I meant about light and heat .. well it will be a cooler grow with less light per day and less intense sun so maybe flowers will be super tastey and potent.


Just really want someone who's tried this to chime in and say either
1. I do it yearly and I get some killer or

2 don't bother I've tried it many times and the buds are wispy mcnothings that rarely finish .

If 2 is the answer I may just try and make seeds for 1st time

I always have more clones than I need or mother plants. Whatever. I stick them out no matter what, may as well. Even if they don't finish you just make oil. It all adds up. You say they are 6 weeks old, thats plenty old enough to flower. Stick em out now theyll have all of semptember and october to finish before the cold truly sets in. Youll get something anyhow. Just dont waste your time trying to grow them in january do it now!
