......found a really cool website for us sun growers.......http://www.sunrisesunset.com/.........you can type in your location and get a printable calender of all the sunrise, and sunset times with Moon phases....i am a big believer in the Moons influence on veg/flower cycle.....it is also interesting to notice how many minutes of daylight are lost each month...for instance, July loses only 46 minutes throughout, Aug. 79, Sept. 85 and Oct. 85.........the new moon in Aug is on the 17th, so i expect flower set to be late this year, and am making adjustments to it......i always consider the outdoor season to be a four month gig......July being the first quarter.....of course June was the baby work, and structure building month, but July i focus on power vegging up to mid Aug when fowers begin to form....so i just make sure my girls are in their big girl pots by about the 10th of July, so they can get a good 4-5 weeks of solid veg and root mass building before the stretch begins.......my goal is to have 42-48 inch plants with 16+ heads with an expected yield of around 8-10 zips each.....pretty modest.
