Gorilla Glue #4 clone
Planted: 6th October (week after AFL grand final)
Full sun, basically sunrise to sunset

Yield: Epic alright!!

Does this mean I have been stripped of one of the last simple pleasures in life (imo) - the good old trusty outdoorie?!!

Looks a lot like you flowered in the wrong time of year for your part of the world. You should start inside with a seedling, and keep it under HID ideally or CFL is fine for the first few inches of vegetative growth. Start hardening off (sticking your plants outside for a few hours at a time, and bringing them back inside,) around early December, and by late December, keep the plants outside. They should veg till sometime in February/early March, and then start flowering. Try and avoid overly exposed, or windy areas when considering a place to plant as well. Good luck man, just take everything folks are doing in the northern hemisphere and reverse it imo.

I'm confused a.f. now. Are you saying i should have planted on the 2-4 week of sep, so 1 month before i planted mine, when the days were even shorter?? I'm not trying to better my growing efforts by producing even smaller, more compact buds - although it is quite a good looking bonsai GG#4 if i do say so myself. It'd be hard to beat it!

You should have started off indoors and got it to a decent size before bringing outside. Your days are getting longer until December 22, having increasingly longer days will affect the structure of your flowers some...you might see more leaf than normal or a tendency to want to revert back to vegetative growth.

Grew my 6 plants outdoors kept only the best colas composted the rest which is to say about 1/2 or more of the yield and still ended up with 12 lbs dried so far as we are taking down the last plant to finish right now. Best part I’ve put zero dollars into this for the last 3 years.

The last couple of seasons have been weird .early flowering etc. The only way to combat it is grow Sativa's. There harder to flower at the start of the season. Plus plant a shitload more seeds.

Life is a circle. You just have to wait for spring to come around before you drop the seeds. But not too early in spring unless you are using artificial light.

I would of thought 6/10th was to early. People do plant early though for a spring/ summer harvest. Being where you are you could be like Bob and grow all year.

Grasshopper, meet Master!

Mate I reckon you've nailed it there! I grow indoors and Indica dom hybrids, if not, pure indicas is all I run. I decided to have a rest over summer & get some good old fashoned outdoorie's going.. which is what led me to this point.

Cheers for the advice!

you can grow outdoors all over the world, have to have a pretty short summer to not be able to get something done, with proper planning.
look up when your days are starting to get more than 13 hours long...here it would be the middle of april...that's when you want to put them out, as long as frost danger is past. keep them inside under lights till then. good idea to harden them off, about two weeks before you plant them, put them out for 2 hours for 2 days, then three hours for two days...ad an hour every couple of days till they're sitting out all day....then plant them
