How long till harvest in SW PA?

I have culled almost all the males in my garden. Conversely, almost all the females have been identified and are beginning to flower.

As you all know, its almost the end of July. When can i expect to harvest? End of August? Middle of September? Beginning of October? The plants dont get full sun all day long, but they get direct sunlight for about 6 hours. I know i wont get an exact date answer but im trying to get a ballpark idea so i can flush them 4 weeks prior to harvest.

Thanks guys.

It all depends on strain. Some strains have a short flower cycle, while some have long flowering cycles. I live in the North East, and I should be harvesting around the end of September, beginning of October.

jonboy's guess-tamate is about as close as they come.

Ok, thanks. Last year the plants were so crappy and stressed that they yeild was pathetic. This year i am very excited because the plants are lush and healthy.

Cross your fingers for 3+ lbs!!!!

how many plants and what strain are you expecting 3+lbs from? Just curious cuz I am on my first OD grow

I started out with 50+ plants. A couple died or were yanked because of developmental issues. I have also been cutting out for the past week. So far ive removed 12 or so and there may be 2 or 3 more. So that leaves me with more than 30 females.

I dont know what strain they are because they were bagseed, but hey, you gotta start somewhere. I am assuming they are mainly the offspring of seeded hybrids so they could be anything and more than likely i have 2 or 3 different strains. Large commercial grows dont take the time to remove all the males prior to flowering which is why you find so many seeds in your bag. The pollen could come from any male plant within a mile or so so one guys garden could pollinate another one without even knowing about eachother.

But i have been feeding them and tending to them regularly and they are quite healthy and with 30 or so plants, i dont see why i couldnt get around 3 lbs.

sounds nice my friend! might be more than 3lb???

Yeah bro... you might have a wonderful mess on your hands. How tall are those babies right now? I only went with 6 known strains. White Label Rhino..and the yield is right around 450g a m2(roughly 1 lbs per square meter). My one patch alone with 3 plants takes up nearly 6 m2. That's more than 6lbs from those 3 alone. I don't have any experience working in the outdoors but I would say if you end up with 30 fems you might have more than you know what to do with. Best of luck and I hope you have so much we all get some samples haha

I would love for all of us to get together and have a great party where we can share our yeilds and do a mini cannabis cup.

The plants range from 2 to 4 feet. Last night i did a rough count and i have about 75 or so nodes. I suspect that there are a couple of hermes but the female to male ratio pleased me tremendously. Less than 20 out of 50+ plants. Almost all the females are budding so nicely i just want to hug them. Did anyone see the Frontline show the other day called Marijuana Nation? I used to date a girl who looked a lot like the corrispondent, but my girl was hotter, and a lying cheating bitch, buts thats neither here nor there. They had this one dood in California that had some massive plants that made mine look like seedlings. They also made mention of cartel gro ops that trashed an area and didnt clean up after themselves. This is a disgrace. The casual grower, like us, are a lot more responsible, id like to think.
I like how the one city official said that weed was a 4 billion dollar business in his area alone. Think about the revenue that could be generated if it was legal and taxed? Talk about an economic recovery program. Perhaps the answer is so simple, its easy to overlook.
One thing that pissed me off is the one DEA agent called the plant "poison". Uhh, hemlock is poison, wild mushrooms and toadstools are poison, shit the ezalia bush wtih is vividly colored flowers are so poisonous, that honey made from them is lethal. Yet a plant that can be eaten fresh and raw with no ill effects other than green spit, this sanctamonious prick calls it poison on national TV.
Sorry about the rant, but at a very young age, i started to notice lots of bullshit surrouned me and at the age that i am at now, im repulsed by it when i am confronted with it. I know im preaching to the choir, but its nice to talk amongst friends who understand.
I would love to grow "white" strains but i am so afriad to buy seeds online, i fear that i just wont have that opportunity. Northern Lights is one of my favorite buds and White Widow looks so delicous, at times im tempted. I figure bag seed is "free"and easy to come by, and with some TLC it can be brought to its full potential.

Could not agree more with your previous post. Especially the mini-cannabis cup. And as far as white strains go, I am sure if you talk to the right people they might be able to help you out. I ordered seeds online using my CC and had no problems. Small order tho, under $200. Send me a PM when you get a chance.

field of dreams!!!

down the road a bit from me, they use have an annual SMOKE_IN, where all the old hippies (myself include) use to get together and everbody got to sample others grow. last few years,no one comes around anymore for the landowner died and sold the property. don't no where they congragate anymore, but man, that was wild!

yeah u might have alot more than u think with 20 4ft plants you can very easily get at least 3lbs. see i have what u had last year... bullshit. i have about thirty plants and almost all of them are in bad condition. i am amazed there still alive 2 nights of flash floods and tornado winds doesnt help tho
