Outdoor grow question

ddeck96 said:

So I live in southern Oklahoma, right by the Texas/OK border. I was wondering, when do plants flower in this part of the USA? is it to late for me to pop a couple beans and grow a few little bushes? Not looking for yield here, just looking to have some fun. Is it too late?
And if it is too late, is there anything I could do to combat this? I.e. leave it under my porch lights to make it think it’s still daylight?

Thanks, deck

i fucking love you. Thanks so much. Bouta go pop them beans. Also, your plants look beautiful btw

another quick question. I live in the suburbs, lots of street lights, house lights, etc. Is there anything I can do to combat this once flowering begins? And will it mess with my plants during vegetative cycle?

Also, how do I rep people? So many people here have helped me like you have, and I want to rep them I just don’t know how.

I'm also in the burbs. Street lights and house lights will fuck up photoperiod plants. I had mine in a corner of the yard that gets max sunlight. I had to keep the tops below the fence line partly because the neighbor has a bright light on his back porch. If light is coming through the fence slats, use something to block the slats. Be strategic with placement to maximize exposure to direct sunlight and minimize exposure to artificial light. Beware of exposure to house lights coming out of windows. If it's a potential problem, block the problem windows. Remove yardlights, garden lights, and spotlights...anything motion activated. Also, I unscrewed the bulb on the porch light so no one would accidentally turn it on.

Or you could do autoflower plants.

Thanks man, I think I have the perfect spot. I think I’m going to buy one of the short, long, somewhat wide, green mesh greenhouse type things, and train to plants to keep them low and bushy to help with neighbors lights, and to make sure no one sees my crop
As for autos, been there, done that. I prefer photos, more room for error.

I would not enclose the plants in a green house. Too high humidity brings higher probability of mold/mildew, and it's hard to control temps. If you want to give cover from above and obscure the plants from prying eyes you could build hoops and shade cloth.

Photoperiod plants for the win!

You don't need a greenhouse.

If it is the kind that is like a plastic sheet stretched over a metal frame, that will block some airflow and keep some humidity trapped. I would make some hoops and put shade cloth over them.
