Pretty much so, the most critical periods are the cloning phase usually late june to mid july window (picked up some Hormex rooting powder W/like 10 times the amt. of butrycic acid to experiment towards the end when they get woody) but most imp. time in my op. is mid sept to 2nd week of oct. this is where the rubber meets the road. Give me all sun, 75 degrees, and low humidity.IF you can get 10 decent days in oct. you're golden. Having to babysit plants for botrytis in the rain and keeping plants dry is a bitch, almost always happens though, part of the game. I'm not interested in any strain that can't finish by oct7 actually, you're asking for too much if strains need to go deep into Oct. in the northeast. ccguns
