Reveg Early Flowering Plants Outdoor

You wouldn't have to do it long. And it will reveg on it's on. And it's never a bad idea to pop a few more seeds. Unless you have a hard plant count, a few extras are a good thing.

About the same strain flowering early. I had an Ass Cheese flower in June one year. Most years they flower in late July. It never revegged. Once in a while you will run across plants that are just weirdos.
I've decided to pop a few more. I'm going to order them today. My new dilemma is whether to try a different strain, which I'd like to do; or, get some more of the same in case they all die.

We also had a really BAD storm yesterday. So, when I go out there in about an hour, I'll know if I really have to buy more! :-?. Until a week ago, they were in small enough pots that I could cover the cage they were in with plastic if I knew heavy rain or hail was coming & saved them when they were little, spindly things. Unfortunately, since they aren't in full sun, they have always been too tall for the thin stem. They're still pretty weak for a 9"-a foot or so tall. We'll see.

That’s why i stopped topping outdoor plants, steady 10-20 mph winds, gusts around 40. Don’t have to worry about splitting, they take a beating especially if its raining, no problem without any additional support.

They look great! Are they Autoflower?
Nope, Maui Waui fem seeds started in my DWC but I decided I was cramming them in there too tight and transplanted them in my garden! I've got four more seeds from Ethos I'm popping right now, 3 out of 4 have a tap root and the final looks like its root is about to split out any hour now!

The two littles in the middle of my DWC are the Maui's I transplanted! Worked out great too because it gave me two ports to both reservoirs! Macgyver bonus!! :bigjoint:20210512_115713.jpg20210403_121035.jpg

Thank goodness all were well :D . But, it wasn't a bad dream that they are flowering. A few aren't but only ones that I accidentally severely FIMMed late last week. They sort of look like bumps on top... LOL. We'll see. I took photos, but the ones I took of one about 8" tall flowering to show how small it was...well, when I used EXIF to cut out the location, it cropped out the plant & you can just see the pot! My whole day is going that way.

I'll have to wait & get on my phone & get online.....I'm on the desktop. be back later...late cleaning house & finishing tincture.....whew. too much

I've stopped topping too. Too many split plants. I stake them down now. Get about as much bushing.

I topped my plants last year myself and LST with a tomato cage. The training with the tomato cage worked great with foam wire and will just LST the hell out of my girls this year. I would to prefer to start from seed then clones for training purposes but I have a good amount of everything and anything this year. From 2 reveg attempts from my past tent harvest of Diesel Drift and Bruce Banger. Also have 3 clones from that grow Lemonchello Haze, Dr Seedsman CBD, and Moby Dick. Then I have 5 from seed of Amnesia Lemon Kush, Sugar Breath, Mango Sapphire, American Pie and Black D.O.G.

Sounds like you're prepared! I need to save seeds/learn to clone, etc.

Right now, I do have a question, though. You mentioned "2 reveg attempts from my past tent harvest...."

I'm wondering: When you say 'attempts', does that mean they didn't work? OH, and what did you do to attempt to make them work? I've been told several things on several forums & getting mixed messages. Some say don't do anything and others say prune the heck out of 'em.

I'm wondering what will happen to the buds that have already formed if I don't either remove them or prune the plants.

thanks!

it takes a few weeks to see if I didn’t let my roots dry out too much and too see new growth sprout from the popcorn buds. I did pretty well last year with a Glookies plant I revegged but I also tried a Critical Purple Kush but that one died. Also have a dog and left her a little too low and “dogs will be dogs” Got the same 363g wet weight I got from her in the tent. Never changed her out of the 7G fabric bag it start from seed in too.

here’s what my Diesel Drift looked like going out last week, and nothing has shown yet for growth but hope for the same results as above. The Bruce Banger I’m also trying (not pictured yet) I don’t think will probably work sadly.

It is the length of darkness that triggers plants to flower. If you can put a light on them for two hours at midnight it will fool the plant into thinking it's two short nights, thus summertime. It doesn't have to be a lot of light, just enough for the plant to "see" it.

I ran into this when I got a lot of seeds from Oregon. They were used to really long light hours, and my longest day is less than 14 hours 10 minutes. I've been waiting til April to pop seeds for my full season crop.

Judging by your light hours, you are pretty far south. You might want to look into a spring crop. The plants are smaller and you do lose a few to cold weather, but almost no one thinks about looking for them in winter.
So I’m going from about 18/6 I am concerned about possibly prematurely flowering as I already had to get the plants to reveg, about how long do u think a person would have to do this 2 hour light at midnight technique

Most strains are safe to veg at 14 hours of daylight. Just go by your length of day. But strains do have a good deal of variance. The best thing is to take good notes so you can look back and see what strains you had a problem with, and either plant them later or make sure you have some way to manipulate the length of darkness.

Here is a good tool for figuring your length of day. Just input a town near you

Since you sound like you know what you’re talking about, I’m going to ask you what I’ve asked others..no one seems to be able to answer this & if you can’t I understand ;).

I planted White Widow for the 2nd year in a row. It did SO well last year & was very easy to grow, that I decided to include it again, along with Critical Mass & something new for me, Critical Mass CBD (who knows, may actually help the pain).

This year, they started to flower early May .OH, they’re outdoors. They ranged from 8”- 12” high. It’s my 5th year to plant. I had the seedlings in the SAME place as the garden, so when I transplanted them, there was no difference in the lighting, etc. It did happen about a week after transplanting AND it happened to all three strains. I’ve never had this before.

I’ve already posted & asked what to do, even though I do have more to ask when they reveg, but my main question that no one will answer is:

WHY this year? Nothing was different from last year—-even the WW was the same....the temperatures were a little lower, but, of course, the lighting was the same.

If you know, sure would like an answer, as I am Stumped!

thanks!

Outdoor light in early spring is close to 12/12 and daylight increases as spring/summer advance. Then as fall approaches we start loosing daylight again.

Early planting outside will result in flowering then they will stunt for a week or two and reveg as the light cycle moves out of flowing range.


Why did this happen this year and not others? Because your plants were more mature at this point this year than prior years. Non mature plant will not flower so most likely just stretched through the short light periods previously.

NOTHING was different this year. I have repeated & repeated that.

No, they were not more mature this year than others...... not size, certainly not shape (FIMMing wasn’t doing well, as many weren’t even splitting yet). They stretched the same amount this year as last. (I had them in a dog crate in the small trays before transplanting. It was VERY easy to tell they were exactly the same size when I transplanted them *& the approximate same date* as last year.

& I know about light cycles.

But, thank you for trying.

Ok well sorry to attempt to answer. But no matter who answers unless there Auto flowers 13.5 hrs of light a day is the same amount of light that triggers there flowering at end of year. Actually most strains begin to flower at around 14hrs of light. you can pound your answer as hard as you want but plant cycles never change.

Light cycles never change. & they started to flower at 12 !/2 hours. I guess I’ll never get it figured out. Now, I just have to find what to do when they reveg, as I’ve also gotten different answers to that, too... all the way from severely pruning to doing nothing....
