So I started late... is it worth it?

Ok so I moved out to the middle of nowhere in Amish Country, and I decided like two weeks ago I wanted to grow. I have the year before, but my Mother thought they were tomato plants and gave them to her friends lol, they had grown about a foot by the time late June had hit.

This year I started in early July. Yes I know it's very very late, considering you wanna plant after the last frost of the year, but I just moved back out here, so nothing can really be done. Anyways, at first (because I forgot to germinate ) they did nothing for the first week, and because it is late in the growing season, I didnt really care whether this worked or not. But I left for four days, and when I came back home and went to the corn field, I fould that they are already two inches high and the four leaf section is JUST coming in.


So yeah I am pretty surprised. But because its already July I already know they wont grow to the prime that they coulda been. So bein late in the game, am I gonna get anything by the time the sun hits 12/12 or will they be still too small to flower? I am not lookin for an ounce per plant or anything, but I wanna know if these four plants are gonna give me ANYTHING when the weather starts changin, and AROUND how much will I expect?

outside the sun doesnt need to hit 12/12 to trigger flowering, it just needs to sense the days getting shorter, which they have been since june 19 or 21(cant remember for sure right now). That being said they will still need to veg for a while till they are big and mature enough to start flowering so it might not start flowering quite as early as it should, normally late july early august. im kind of concerned about it finishing on time for you too, I have to bring my plants in the last month or 2 of flower since it starts getting to cold. Usually finish around the start-middle of nov here.

Ok thanks. I had no idea the flowering process took as long as it does. I always figured it was a week or two rather than half its life span. All the more room to grow its bud tho I guess.

But yeah I understand I may end up havin to find a way to keep inside an extra month, tho it doesnt really start getting cold til late October here so I may be alright, we will have to see.

Also many videos I found on this site showed their plants after only 3-5 weeks and they grow like 2 feet! Can I expect that as well, or is it because they use very high quality seed with top of the line soil/lighting/etc?

Also is there a ratio of SOME sort as to the height of the plant to the amount of bud you will get or is it different per strain?

Outside The most important factors are how much direct sunlight they get and how good the soil is, having good genetics never hurts though.
Inside, yes and no, it depends on what you consider very high quality. my grow setup ran me about $700 and ive got good equipment, its not top of the line so to speak though but it works for me and my budget and how much i go through. If you do your research and methodically plan it all out you can get by with a smaller carefully arranged budget grow till you can save some money up and upgrade to a better setup but dont expect miracles, if you can though i'd go for the good stuff right away if possible, you make your money back quite easily after like 2 successful grows and then its all just gravy, you got a great ass setup and as much bud of the highest quality as you could ever smoke. The amount of bud a plant will make is influenced by so many things its impossible to give you a ratio on it.

Flowering is like a 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 months, sativas take longer then indicas to flower.
I just planted some low ryders ,myself a few days ago , and those might finish on time , but for a regular strain , well i dont think it iwll get to big and produce mutch buds , you might have a good few grams tho.
Plants grow big depending on everything , mostly genetics, but if you use good soil , airy, then the roots will grow big and strong , if you take care of the bottom , it will reward you on the top.
ROOTS ROOTS ROOTS, verry important.

Good luck tho ,how are you growing them , im curious to see what you actually do get. this late in the season.
