I had one sativa where I would turn my light on and it would stay in veg. I know others who done the same. not street lights though. the street light are to weak.
if the plant is outdoors near the streetlight it will, I have seen giant sativas, one half of them facing the street light is flowerring, the other half away from the street light is still in veg.
So true! I can get about an ounce (dried) per plant give or take with about $20 total invested in each plant most the cost is the soil, container, and the price of the seed. if a quarter of decent weed cost $120 qrt/$480 oz them i'm saving $460 per ounce growing my own marijuana.
with numbers like those, youd think the feds would WANT people to grow their own bud instead of supporting these Mexican drug cartels...
I was wondering if anyone has done ths before.. im gonna put a Solar powerd (LED) spot light on my outdoor (in the ground) Kush berry. Im gonna attempt to keep it in veg. i was looking around and the lights are cheap around $25. check it out will this be enough power?

I researched this quite a bit a while ago...
Usually the solar lights will come on strong the first few hours, then start to dim, and continue dimming till morning when the light sensor shuts them off. SO yes, most solar lights do last all night, its just that they get dim to the point where I dont think they would keep the plant in veg, its a very small amount of light. The rate at which the light dims is depending on battery/age of battery/size of solar panel/charge of the battery (or how much energy is transferred from the solar panel to the battery to the light, which depends on total direct sunlight hours on the panel, angle of sun hitting the panel, etc
REGARDLESS, you would only need to add about 2-3 (3-4 to be safe) more hours of sunlight (hawaii gets 11 at its lowest, and 13 in summer) to keep the plant in veg. most strains will stay in veg at 15/9.
So yeah the solar lights would work (in theory) I haven't tried it yet, mostly because im too poor to buy a solar light, and too much of a good person to not jack them from my asshole neighbors yard.
Other factors to consider would be adding an auto shutoff, so it just burns (nice and bright) for only 2-3 hours right after sundown (remember these turn on via light sensors) then shuts off. Letting them go any longer would just make a dimmer light and discharge the battery. I believe that the initial 2-3 hours of bright light would be just enough to keep it in veg, but go beyond that and the light gets so dim it wouldn't even be bright enough to keep it in veg anyhow.
please try this out and let me know if it works!
