There's a couple more things I thought I should be more clear about.Question about outdoor grow in Hawaii. I have been vegging indoors and flowering outdoors. I'm wondering if the next batch that goes outside will be affected by the days getting longer later in the cycle. As little of a change it is, will it affect the flowering cycle? I'll be flowering Critical Mass which is a 60 day strain. If I put outdoors now, January 20th or so it should be done. But that's almost a month after winter solstice. I'd also like to get it a few more weeks before putting it outside.
What does everyone else do for vegging then transferring outside?
Thanks in advance.
The only thing that can really screw you up is planting sativa dominant strains too late at the end of short season. Depending on how sativa dominant a strain is they can start to flower and then reveg once the daylight hours start getting long enough. You don't want them revegging. They just sit around not doing anything while they're switching from flowering back to vegging. It's a waste of time having them switch.
And depending on how many hours of light your using for vegging indoors can have some effect and it's still mostly only for sativa dominant strains during long season and again, depending on how sativa dominant it is. For example, if you're using a 24/0 light cycle inside and you put a sativa dominant strain outdoors during long season it might kick in to flower for a little while because of the drastic light change and then switch back to vegging. You don't want revegging unless you're trying get to reveg a plant that you wanted to keep that you didn't take clones from and even then I'd just clone it like normal instead of the whole plant. You're less likely to have revegging happen with a 15/9 or 16/8 indoor light cycle. Just FYI, some clones may not stay flowering under 15/9, but seed plants should.
I use supplemental lighting outside to keep things vegging.
Alright, I think that covers all of it, but don't be afraid to ask if something got missed.
