planting in march harvesting in may.100 plus plants..... outdoor down south

[naturalhigh]

planting in march harvesting in may......


i saw some where, where a guy put his plants in early to have 2 summer harvest's///one really early and one late...im thinking of trying this with 10 to 12 inch plants that i would force flower for a week then drop them outdoor in mid march...im in the south soo its warmer.. and the light is still 12 hours or soo,,soo its going to be pushing them into flowering...... any thoughts.? i have a spot thats 15 by 45 that im just about ready to start getting ready


the main reason is that people arent looking for Pot plants in may..soo it would be open season so to speak..i could easly hit the over 100 plant mark and im in the works of making a special rack that can hold 36 plants in 3 inch by 8 inch cubes..i would rase the plants in these racks, and top them at 6 inchs and then let it regrow to 12...

hey man

when u say down south do u mean aus?
that idea just popped into my head tonight,
im in west aus and the day light hours are just about to drop down to 12/12 in a few weeks...

why not plant seeds (which luckily i have alot) and clone lots of plants under a simple indoor cfl clone room and make a massive outdoor SoG grow!!!

i am also lucky to have a very nice place to do this grow and am getting excited haha

massive outdoor harvest then move indoor in winter...

Great idea man

naa southern usa....

hmmm, i just dont know if the sun will have the same intensity in april as it does in august/sep.. i couldn't see the same resin production occuring or the overall quality being the same as a normal may-sep grow.. i'm fuckin ripped right now so i dunno if i'm thinkin straight but this will be somethin cool to see.. best of luck

and if we can do it with pot plants, why dont other plants/weeds in nature do the same? (i.e. flower/bud/fruit 2x a year)

cuz..were going to be force flowering them befor they go out side in 3 by 8 inch deep containers...they would already be in at 1 week fowering soo i think it would work....

 

[tckfui]

I dont think other plants rely on the hors of day to decide when to flower and whatnot

 

[greenleafhigh]

Yes plants use the sun to determine when to flower^^^

spring flowering works great as long as you get them in early enough so the sun doesn't reverse your flowering. the question about intensity of light is easy to answer~by the end of spring flowering summer is coming on and if anything (here in tejas) they may get fried if you're not careful

good luck

it might work but your plants would be so much bigger if u just kept em inside vegging starting in march or april then putting em outside and lettign them get 10 feet tall, thats what i like to do

10 foot plants are great but way more likely to get jacked than smaller plants. I think that the guy wants TWO harvest as well. So he could grow the Monster plants in summer and fall, and have a great (but smaller) spring harvest as well.

All the below ideas is NO,NO, & NO. Sorry, won't work. Leaf was the only one right. Reality really sucks, but there is certain facts that can't be gotten 'round. Austin Boys, You should know better. The Texas Sun puts out about 72,000 lumen, and to Flower, you need 11 hours or less light. Problem is, any light greater than the full moon prolongs, fucks up a true flowering stage. If you can cover these plants where NO light can slip through, then it's possible. Every afternoon, cover the plants, uncover them every morning, etc. I don't think so.
But what you can do is grow the shit indoors until the soil is at least maintained at 65 degrees (that's pushing it), and plant then. But, they still won't start flowering until the sun only shines 11 hours or less per day. You can advance this by placing plants where shade hits from the west. It helps a little. By then, You'll have monsters. But the good news is, point, is that you can plant a new crop indoors in April, set out in June. Exactly 2 months off-set. These plants will get as big or bigger than the indoor shit, but flower forever,IE; amber buds while more is still growing, until Dec, depending on the weather. I've still have tomatoes, south side. So when you harvest your main crop, the second wave is still waiting to turn purple, etc. Oh Yeah.

You can do a spring crop of clones. Just have them flowering before you put them outside. Mine are already hardened off and ready to go in feb and i don't have to worry except the usuals, theft, frost, critters. I've only done this with Northern lights before, might not work for longer flowering strains.

i say fuck it. go for it.
you already know the worst that can happen.
even if the early buds are comprimised by light, after you harvest those you will have some fucking BUSHES (the good kind, not the executive office type).

confused. If the Babies is Flowering, and hits the 12 to 16 hr. per day does not cause revert to Veg state? FDD had a problem with this. Talk to me. Also, you have a dead winter outdoor grow? That, & the jump from Spring start to dead winter grow has me confused.

It's all good! I put them out, already flowering, late feb. ( and pray to the weed gods that they don't freeze). My grow space gets down to mid forties @night so the babies are pretty much hardened off to the cold. I've only done this once and it was NL. It was only three clones. I DID have to take them in and hide them in the dark a couple of times because of freezing weather. Not a great yield but it was more to see if it could be done. I'm pretty sure at the end they were getting a bit more than 12 hours of light, but the mom I took the clones from was a 7 week flowering variety.

I bet any indica with a similar flowering time would work. I may even try durban this year. I am NOT betting the farm on this so to speak! It's more to keep me amused.

how did you know i WAS an Austinite? Was it the WEED?

I need to pick ur brain about other gardening things around here!

Good luck SoTex!

That's Really funny. If you know Roy's Taxi from Austin, I lived in one of their rentals on Rainey Street, downtown Austin. Yep, I had Spiderworts, old cars, Chile Pequins growing there. NOT a good place for an outdoor grow!

Gotta Luv Austin!
