This past summer we grew among other strains 30 Iranian Short Season. We were very much impressed with this plant, so much in fact next year we will be shooting for a 1000 plus Iranian Short Season grow.
Ninety days from seed to harvest is perfect. Harvest the beginning of August before the choppers and rippers are out. We lost a field to rippers this past summer, and we were not happy campers.
I am wanting to learn as much about this strain as possible. The first 10 ISS were vegged inside under 1000w and put outside after 28 days. These ones didn't grow too big as we learned after the fact, as soon as you put the plant outside after being vegged inside they go right into flowering. The 20 outside did very well growing to about three feet tall.
A thousand seeds is a big investment of money and time, so I have started this thread in hopes of everyone who has grown the Iranian Short Season, to chime in and add their knowledge and experience with this plant.
In my research of this plant, I gather there are two schools of thought for how to grow. The first school of thought is to start indoors and grow them to 18 inches and then place them outside for the duration of their growth cycle. The second school of thought is to start them outside as soon after the threat of frost is gone.
I have also read that Iranian Short Season can be vegged for extended periods of time under 24 hours of light. If this is so, can these be kept inside and grown them for a longer period of time and then placed outside for the 6 weeks these require to flower to increase the yield and increase the total growth cycle to say 120 days. In essence starting them inside a month earlier than they would be started outside thus getting an extra 30 days of vegging and still finish the beginning of August as if they were put outside in the beginning of May?
What have people used at all for nutrients with these plants as I understand from my reading they are very nute sensitive.
Please add to this thread by asking your own questions and posting up pictures of your Iranian Short season Grow.
This is one amazing plant !!!
Thanks and looking forward to all the sharing of information.
Happy Growing !!!
