Howzit, everyone! Small-kine weird question, here.....I was gonna post this under the Hawaii thread, but I figure, the more opinions, the better. Hopefully, you Hawaii guys can chime in too.
What happens if you give a plant 20+ hours of light....hell, maybe even 24 hours of light for a month or two months straight.
If you were to put this plant outdoors in mid April, would the plant flower? Or would the plant simply remain in vegging state due to the lengthening days??? In mid April, the Hawaiian Is. receive roughly 12.5 hours of daylight, increasing everyday. Could the plant flower despite the fact that it is still receiving more than 12 hours of light???
I ask this because I recall reading awhile back that cannabis flowers as a reaction to the shortening days during autumn, when the plant "thinks" that winter is coming and will therefore die. So the flowering is its way to create seeds before dying.
Well, if the plant were receiving 24 hours of light, would the dramatic cutting of light to 13.3 hours (longest day in Hawaii) "trick" a plant into flowering? Or does the plant strictly NEED less than 12 hours of light in order to enter the flowering stage???
Sorry so long, but I tried to be clear...Anyone can answer?? Anyone (especially in HI or at 21 latitude) ever try this?
THANKS!
