Does hours of light include twilight?

When you factor in how many hours of light a plant gets outdoors, does that include twilight?

Not sure if I will be able to, but I want to try and veg my plants indoors for a month before going outside. I want to make sure that I have them on the same light schedule that they'll see when I put them out.

Thanks for reading.

i'm not too sure but i had my plants inside for 2 weeks of feb. it was way to cold night or day for them outside. but since the birds are singing outside at night they've been outside.. and they are doing very nice. I'm not using anything to grow them except the dirt from my back yard, the sun and water.

Yes twilight is not darkness so it counts. You look at the total hours of daylight ( sun up to sundown including twilight ) and then see how many hours of direct sun your plants are getting to give yourself an idea of how much energy they have to work with. Plants should get a minimum of 6-8 hours a day direct sun IMHO.

I've got two plots lined up for the season. One will get direct sunlight all day. The other i'm not sure about yet. I won't know untill the trees start putting some leaves on for that one.

I'm still not even sure if I will be able to veg them indoors yet. I hope so, because I'd like them to get hardened a little before going out. With the plots I'm using, chicken wire and fences are out of the question, so I'm gonna need a little luck keeping them from becoming rodent food.

AnitaNuggs, that's basically the way I'm going. There's alot of vegetation around so the soil must be ok. I will be using liquid nutes from time to time though. Depending on our rainfall this year, I'll be giving nutes either during occasional dry days, or every other feeding if it's a long dry spell.

Not too worried about max yield this go around. It's mainly an experience grow. With 30 plants, assuming half will be male, and half will be lost to animals or grower error, I hope to end up with 7-8 fems at harvest. 1/4lb each and I'm fine with it. Maybe I'll get really lucky, and have a high female % and not loose many. I was told that the plant these seeds came from produced about a pound. We'll see how it goes.

pee around your harvest. (guessing your a male) it will show dominance. animals will stay away.

are you gunna do a grow journal?

I don't know about a journal, but I will give periodical updates, if/when this gets underway.

Took a trip out to my best and only remaining spot today to walk around and find the prime areas. Started to pull in and what did I see? Nothing but a nice fresh set of tire tracks Nobody lives on this land, so it was either someone looking for lake access, or doing the same thing I am. Probley a family member of mine out scouting as well.

Everything is trying to get in my way this year. Right now I'm in a think, think, think mode trying to figure out another spot, although I'll be very hard pressed to find a place as perfect as this one, or any worthy secure place for that matter.

I take my clones out the first weekend in June, They are in 18/6 lighting and 21 day old clones, We start losing light hours 20 days later. My plants are ready for harvest fisrt two weeks of sept. I live in Southwestern Ont and I am growing M39 each plant havests 2 ounce give or take and grow no taller than 3 feet. I also plant seeds in late April early May these plants grow into monsters and yeild alot higher but there is alot more maintenace with them. I like the clone way best
