Thanks! I know, a couple of them still aren’t showing pre flowers! Hopefully soon! I think we have about three more months of outdoor weather, but who knows! We have had a strange weather year!

My grow is Southern California. By Aug 1st the days have shortened enough to trigger flower and most strains show sex by Aug 15th. 10 weeks to finish puts you mid to late Oct harvest for most indica and hybrids with landrace sativa strains running out past the first of the year.

Depending on local conditions if you get no freezing temps you can grow in the off season as well with a bit of planning.
Aug 1st = Take clones / plant seeds
Oct 15th = Harvest, take clones, set out veg plants
Jan 1st = Same
March 15th = Same
June 1st = Harvest, set out veg plants.

With the lack of any real cold in winter i keep tossing plants in the ground all year long. You can veg outside under a lamp just 20 feet away from flowering plants or veg them inside under 24-0 lighting.

To bend old stiff main stems, use pliers and crush a 6-inch or greater zone where you want the bend. This acts as a strain relief and fluids will continue to flow and the section above the crush and bend will keep right on rocking.
If you force and snap the stem odds are high everything past that will die. Avoid the snap and crush first.
