Question.. Right now I have 60 sprouted seedlings.. I am planning on putting them out on the 28th of april.. I know that they will flower.. will they flower enough for me to sex them?.. If so thats a plus.. I could rip up the males and put another batch of seedlings in those holes. However, how much will this hurt my yields due to stunting? This is a cashcop.. should have used clones I know but I dont have money for them right now.. but I have all dank ass bag seed.

Im planning on starting 100
Figure 50 males
10 die
20 are full sativas and won't finish properly..
That's 30, and then I can throw out another 50 after I rip up the males..
Is this a good idea?
I am planning on buying a couple clones.. probably like 10 or so in may.

Troy,
seedlings can handle the low light outside right now Due to the fact seedlings are not mature enough to flower.. I dont think it will hurt or sunt them at all. I sit mine outside in the morning then bring them in at night because of the cold temps.. I could be wrong, but I believe the earliest you can sex a plant is at 6 nodes.. Normally takes about a month depending on the strain.. In my opinion you are wasting your time growing bag seed.. You never know what your growing, or how stable it will be.. Good weed starts with good geneticts, and geneticts are far more important to a grow then any soil or nuets you could ever give your plants...

mary- actually it could throw seedlings into a stressful state much like a clone that has been rooted and thrown right into flowering..no matter what if there is the right light schedule they will flower..

sry boys been retarded busy.. workin 10 hours a day and then tending 48 plants plus getting my moms ready for outdoor clones...there jst isnt enough time in the day..

check out this cool mutation.. the sour kush has put a few of these its like the pre-flower and the littlest finger off a leaf all rolled into one..these sour kush are a one of a kind strain for sure a weird...heres a few pics for a small update

troy if you put them out too early and they start to flower then have to re-veg it will severely hurt your yeild..plus april 28th is way to early in michigan you'll probably get hit with another frost depending on where your located.. I'm in mid michigan and I wont put my clone out until mid-late may depending on the weather outlook you should check a farmers almanac to see when temps are suposed to stick and your not going to get another frost.

i put some 1-1.5 footers out around may 15th and it got cold again but due to them being larger they survived seedlings would die right away if temps drop below 35-40F at night and if they due survive the added stress will hurt your yield even more.

your better off starting less plants inside like now and youll have time to see pre flowers if you top them and keep them short..while still staying stealthy..i would also suggest that you not grow the sativas you'll just end up being disappointed, and if its a cash crop it wont be marketable being 100% sativ the buds will be small, whispy, and no where near done...for michigan you want somthing that will finish in mid-late september october if your lucky but usually by then temps are too low and mold becomes a big issue..

KB, I seriously had no idea plants would flower that young.. I've had problems in the past setting clones out to early and having them flower, but clones are as mature as the mother, correct.? So if you start a sprout at 12/12 right out of the gate. How long does it take for the plant to show sex? Also, would it not stress the plant jumping from 12/12 to 14.5 hrs of light when you set them outside? I know drastic changes in the light cycle can cause flowering plants hermie.. I always place my seedlings outside in the sun as much as possible, but I also always bring them inside before sunset, and put them under cfls. (this year im using led flashlights lmao..)

these are all reg white widows (the seedlings).
IMG_0912.jpgthey are currently now in party cups and will be going out asap. just waiting for it to stay above 45 degrees at night. as soon as they go out i'll start more.
southfacingtreeline.jpgthe pic is of the spot they will be growing. it's about a 15 minute drive and 45 minute walk. the skyline is clear east to west but more on the east side which is great for drying up dew, cutting down on mould and disease... it also has southern exposure. i'll keep a journal
