haha yeah still v relevant - haven't been able to find much info on forced flowering and how long to continue for. that's awesome you were able to clear more space for light. do autos yield well outside (and are you in pots or in the ground)? i wish i had a yard!

July 7 til stretch done is closer to Aug when the days are already fading, sounds timed well. Do you think if i stop tarping in 10 days (week 5-6) and there's14:23 of daylight (but up from the 12/12 due to tarping), it'll remain in flower? Should i start untarping slightly earlier now as to not...

I finally got a hydrometer and humidity is at 85% with tarp on at the canopy, yikes. going to get bamboo stakes first to try to elevate it off the tops and will see if running a fan underneath helps at all. if not, going to have to forego the tarp and hope they don't reveg or herm..

I have blumats set up and have been gone 2-3 weeks at a time (but in veg)

Start of week four, haven't fed N in 2-3 weeks but top dressed and gave compost tea into transition; too green for my liking... I was going to top dress this Friday, about end of week four, with compost tea but will prob skip the top dress. Compost tea w/ build-a-flower, build-a-bloom, kelp...

I posted link to original post in above comment. But yeah definitely challenges of limited space/ urban setting/ not timing properly and starting in april to flower naturally...I have two fans but only during lights on (same timer..) - one vortex under at the root-zone and one oscillating...

This was 2 weeks ago, might take a video today when the sun comes out. it's been cloudy for months but bout to get 7 days of sun..! And here is the original post/question.. Yeah concerned about mold/airflow/humidity at night. snapping side branches. damaging top colas (already look bruised n...

I put the tarp on after lights out (after 9 pm) and take it off before lights on (around 9-10 am). Not fully sealed (small light leaks from sides..) but flower is in full swing now. idk if i stop doing this, even after equinox, as the days get shorter, if the increase in light between 6 am and...

How did it turn out - this was a great thread

How did it turn out? I'm tarping/force flowering starting week four but wanna know if i can stop...14 hours of daylight but i'm on a west facing balcony so ambient light 6 am to 1 pm and sunset by 8 - any ideas?

I have a light on 10am to 9:30pm and direct sunlight is only between 2pm and 5 ish pm; prior to flip i had lights on 5am to 9:30pm. Do you think the drop in relative light from 5 am to 10 am is enough "darkness" for it to stay in flower...

thanks! im just scared to break branches and always having the tarp possibly touching top colas. but cant wait til sept/oct naturally..ty

How did you all end up solving this? I'm trying to flower now (am flowering now). Do i have to continue covering all the way through or can i stop at week 4? (will be around end june at 14.5 hours of light, before solstice.

How'd you end up flowering them?

wow gorgeous. what was their story?
