Michigan Growers

Is there anyone in michigan that knows around the date that plants begin the bud stage up here?

depends on the strain itself some plants can start to bud with as little as 9 hours of darkness othrs need more usually most plants will start sometime in august and end in oct

hit the " michigan growers tell your plans" thread fro up to date info

ask cripple guy. he knows whats up in the midwest. The lower or upper peninsula?

or you can take my word for it see'n that I'm an MI grower and have been for many years...that and the pure fact that without strain info you can only get a general idea thus the "somtime in august until sometime in oct"

My great white shark(8-9 week strain) from greenhouse seeds is an early finisher it started flowering at the very end of july and will be done at the end of sept depending on weather, my blue hash (7-8 week strain)wont start flowering until the end of august and will be done oct 10th, blue fruit(8 week strain) will start same time and finish around oct 15th, thus the other fact that even tho it says 7 weeks doesnt make it an early outdoor strain it all depends on the amount of dark the strain needs to flower

well klosetbreeder they're all shishkaberry. and im in the lower peninsula guys. how long you think their gonna take?

they should be showing flowers by now-

any pics?

i'm in se mich, my stuff is all in flower.

alright im gonna go out and take some pics and ill let you guys determine if their flowering or not,
but earlier this year a couple of the plants got eaten by deer and i was just wondering that if the plant got eaten adn it stunted its growth would that mess up the budding stage and make it not bud in time?

nope, it would still flower if it had growth on it.they should have lots of white hairs on them right now.

i went and checked them today and i know what a male and female plant looks like but from looking at them today, with my naked eye i didnt see a single hair nor pod.

Really depends where u got em, and.are they in wide open,or are they by tree line where they get shade part od day.I have 4 in gorilla grow,and I got lots of pre-flowers but no hairs,mine are on top of hills,so they get sun allday.just give it some time,they do what they do! Good luck....

how long ago did you put them out.

i planted them at like the end of April or beginning of may when your supposed to. and theres not really trees around its mostly weeds about 4 foot tall. and when i went to go check on them today, i could see the hairs on some of them.

yah they will be fine if we have a normal season.i have some that are not in full sun that just started this week but most of mine are well on there way.now is a good time to hit them with some bloom 1 time to jump start them flowers

where can i get bloom?

any hydro shop carrys a bloom fertilizer or if you have no money and I dont recomend this, but bloom booster from maricle grow its in a pink box, will work..

your plants will basicly star blooming sometime this month just watch them carefuly and pay attention to the nodes you'll start to see a a leaf bud with white hairs in it there wont be many hairs at first but this is a sign of ealy flower when you really can just strait tell your already atleast a week into it if not 2...

pictures would help alot

ill post some pictures of these bad boys in a couple hours. im gonna head out there soon to look for new growth and watering.
and also theres a indoor grow shop around here that should carry what i need, and if not im sure i can just use the maricle grow shit

when do you think we will get our 1st frost around the flint area?
