outdoor flowering

mr_sparkle · May 19, 2007

Ok I have another question. I have 3 c99xa11 plants which I have recently started growing. I am starting the plants indoors, then due to space issues will move them outside once they are 6''-12''. The problem is I am going away for awhile starting august, and where I live the natural light cycle will not be 12/12 by then (Virginia). Now the strain says it flowers after eight weeks, but will this happen automatically or will i need to rig something up to control the light. If so what do you suggest, just a bunch of trash bags? Thanks.

plants have been growing and flowring outside for thousands of years before humans even touched them. (unless you believe the seeds come from canin) mother nature will set them flowers for you buddy no worries...lol you are too funny.

haha no sorry I didnt explain it right. Im going away but i'm going away to school for 9 months so I wont be able to collect my harvest. I'm just looking for the best way to start it flowering outdoors before nature does it on its own. IE trashbags, etc so i can get it before I leave. Thanks

ohhhhh...i see. ask a friend you can trust. that is going to be way difficult with noone there. you would only need to do this if you were leaving in july or early august. after then the plant will already be showing signs of preflowers or sex. you will have to come back or have someone check on them periodically to make sure alls well and to harvest. when are you leaving?

I leave about august first so pretty early. I believe the soonest I return is for 5 or 6 days around thanksgiving which is probably too late. I guess ill just ask a close friend too keep an eye on it till its ready. Honestly it would probably be cheaper for me to just get a train ticket home when my friends says its ready to harvest and cure it at school instead of buying bud and wasting the plants. Thanks.

that will be quite a bit work but okay, use battens to construct a frame with a door, big enough for your plant. fix panda foil on the inside of this frame -black side out for concealment and cut a few air holes in it low bottom and top. hood those if you like to. i would improve the construction with some camo mesh on the outside, look around at military or surplus shops for that.
