Yessir! I say it every day to guys in their 30s. Your biggest asset is your time. You see 70yo dudes working at McDonalds...is that because they are lazy? No. Its because no one ever showed them how to save and plan. It's so sad.

Finally got some sun back. It's been great for them! Still praying for a kind fall...
The Amnesia Haze in the middle has gone into some kind of beast mode growing I have never seen. I've only ever grown 2 plants before this, both indica. This 12inches per week growth is unbelievable.

Hey, I am also in MA, this is my 3rd generation grow but first time outside. I have (3) Sativa plants that are now close to 8 feet tall, I topped once already and have pruned. With recent heat and rain the outdoor plants are exceptionally healthy. I have had very good results with my indoor grows (pic attached), but inside I am able to program lights, ventilation etc.. I am concerned about ambient light outside (street lights etc.) affecting the flowering stage. Can anyone locally advise me when flowering should start and if this light situation is a concern? Thnx.

I'm year 2 outside so I'm no expert. My hybrids last year showed actual budlettes on Aug 15. This year was a little earlier for some, especially my sativas. They started pre flower like 2 weeks ago.
Ambient light was a concern for me last year, but I never had any negative repercussions. I would go out at night and see the landscape lighting, and the full moon, and inside lights from the kitchen and basically be able to see the plants perfectly. They didnt give a shit. I just assumed that for outdoor plants this was less of an issue then I've heard it is for indoors. Obviously you prob don't want direct light on them, no clue what that would do, but light pollution light hasn't hurt me yet last year or this year.
This was last year. (first attempt/white widow/7gal pots)

I'm so bummed out...
My best plant is one that I know probably wont make it to harvest. It already has stacked, thick bud coverage. Its 100% healthy and looks great. But it's an Amnesia Haze in a 5gal pot. I knew this strain was a hail mary for our region, but I thought "what the hell". Now the poor thing is killing it, doing awesome...but from wha I've read and heard it's almost certainly doomed.

Hey,
Thnx for the info. I have no baby buds yet outside. I am running same strain Mowie Wowee, inside and pushed this flowering stage with with 14 hours dark / 10 hours light and colas are pretty damn big already in week 6. Nothing yet outside, but with such a massive 'tree' I hope it flowers soon. Thnx. again.

No, I know...its just that I've heard nonstop how hard it is to grow and it will never finish in time and on and on.
I'm gonna do everything I can to make it go the distance, but I'm trying to manage expectations. Haha

Hello brave soul! Sativa + our climate = problems. You can get her done as long as it's not a 10-whenever she feels like it scenario. My Rosetta stone is a couple weeks into flower already. Gorilla glu is about 10 days behind. Rosetta is 75% sativa but flowering has been shortened by a few weeks and apparently she early too. If you had them on 18-6 they started the night you moved them out. Photosensitivity is more like a taught behavior not genetic. Always gotta be careful of light pollution during flower. Hope I helped.

Kinda looks like a contradiction lol. 2 plants grown in the same indoor cadence moved outside can and most likely will start a few days apart. It's all about the red cells.

October 5th and 10th. Im on the south shore of MA. Both were fem white widows from ILGM grown from seed.
Early Oct was pushing it last year. If I had the choice I would have left them for another week or 2. Sadly it turned into a game of chicken at the end there with the wet, the rot, and the mold.
Praying for a better fall this year. I want to be able to go the distance. As long as possible is the goal.

Took the last of the haze first week of Nov. Had to create a controlled environment and watch it like a hawk for weeks. I love me some sativa but never again outdoors w/o automated greenhouse. I called it at 12 weeks, last of it could have gone longer.
