Carolina farmers!!!

I actually germ'd seeds back in late january, kept them under flouro's 24/0 for abot 6 weeks then started to stick them outside for parts of the day until they hardened off, now they are flowering their asses off. Hoping for a late may early june harvest. Never tried this before but will probably aim for dual harvests every year now, this is only my 5th year of "farming", all personal stash stuff, i gift it when i can but mostly just stay sedated.

Nothing official, just some seeds ive gathered from some decent smoke over the winter, had some diesel last year that was pretty solid, only had partial sun and pulled a couple oz's off her even after planting in late june!

Hopefully this thread will take off, ive been looking for something like this


Some of my girls, ive got a few not pictured but they're all less than 12" so nothing really exciting. Had 23 sprouts, 16 made it outside, of those I had 12 females, pretty outstanding ratio seeing as i've never had more than two non-herming females in any season when i wasn't dealing with seeds from the 'tude.

Im actually attempting my first grow ive ordered some Super Skunk Seeds from nirvana which should be here by 420
i hope these thread will get big so we can help each other out.
since you've been farming for a while by when do you try to harvest by?
FARMERS OR ANYONE DONT BE AFRAID TO POST

You arent concerned that they will reveg being outside since theyre getting more than 12 hours of light??? Im curious. I have some that I move inside everynight but I sure wish I could just leave them out... They have been flowering for a week... I am in VA so good luck from your neighbor to the NORTH!

PS any idea what strains you got? or are they just bagseed?

I'm in the carolinas too! my plants are about 3 weeks old and goin strong.

I was actually very concerned, it wasn't my plan to have them flower early, I was actually hoping for a couple of monsters this season, I had spots picked out and everything, i wanted to top them and clone but after about 3 weeks outside I started seeing preflowers and so I looked into the length of the days and at our lattitude we never get a day longer than 14 hours really, you'll have daylight for about 17.5-18 but im surrounded by old oak trees so they really only get good sun from about 9am til about 4-5pm and then the minimal light at dusk and dawn. So far they are flowering hard, one may even be done by mid May.

youll have to scroll down about halfway


Not really sure about any of the strains, i have 12 girls and only 3 of them look like they are going to be "good bud". I've never grown anything i didn't personally incinerate, but a few of them have the "regular" smell, 2 have a hint of purple in the calyxes, a couple are very whispy and seeing as how they are all in the same soil and getting the same nutes (fox farm - grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom) you can tell some of the genetics are just better than the others. A few I can recall the bud that the seeds came from but nothing official this season . I can typically get a pretty good gauge based on the flower/leaf ratio and most of these are verrrry leafy, the weather has been pretty gloomy around here for a few days ill post some pics of the good ones when we get some good sun. Good luck to you guys this season!
