Desperate for more veg time

[NICK72690]

So it says on dateandtime.com that the days are 14 hours and 14 minutes right now I’m still flirting with the flood light idea my space is ten ft by ten ft and I really want to fill it out

I'm not understanding how you are going to finish them?
In your region the biggest problem is getting them to finish before the snow
And you want to delay them from flowering makes no sense unless you have enough lighting to finish them indoors

 

[NICK72690]

It’s not really snow I’m worried about and these strains put out some purple color in cold it’s more of the wet season that I’m worried about

Right you won't be able to finish them if you stall them

How it looks now

I'm beginning to think the OP has never completely finished a plant outdoors
I always struggle to get enough finish time in Michigan

i went ahead and looked up frost for MA, says Sept 1 - Oct 10. Depending where in state you're at. That is 8 weeks from today best case scenario. I would try to get those things flowering ASAP.

Yeah but frost isn't always bad. Outdoor plants can take several frosts as long as it is not a hard frost.
I was harvesting mine in Nov still last season and that is in northern wisconsin.

No lol usually 1st week of November sometimes around Halloween but I’m on the south coast, up northwest near Pittsfield and Springfield or closer to NH it maybe earlier.

I just looked at that it’s probably right by estimate. Like it says where Iam in Fall River it October 21-31 and Fairhaven which is 15 minutes away northerly it says November 1-10

yeah looks like there are some pretty warm microclimates around MA. learn something new every day.

ya I found that interesting myself. That’s a good site for Massachusetts growers to take a peak at. Definitely worth a look prior to ordering seeds. Hopefully it works out for OP, but it’s not looking good.

Why delay? If you don't have pistils yet, that means you have stretch to go through still. Your plants can almost double during stretch outdoors.
