Im in upstate NY... They started flowering late but im not so sure that they flowered late due to the strain or genetics because I grew Sensi's Super Skunk and Early Girl last year and they were great. They started budding the first week of August and yielded very good, they were also very easy to grow and resiliant.
Sensi's Outdoor Mix I grew this year consisted of Ruderalis Indica, Ruderalis Skunk, Early Girl, Early Skunk, and Guerilla Gusto. I had a real late start and only recieved my seeds about halfway through June. I germed them and started them inside under 24/0 until July 1st. Thats when they went outside. The days got longer and longer until the summer solstice on July 21st and from there on began getting shorter. I'm thinking that they weren't outside long enough to sense this and therefore took longer to create the flowering hormones, the reason why they are flowering late.
Also half of the ruderalis strains were supposed to autoflower and the other half were supposed to flower according to photoperiod. None of my seeds autoflowered. The site says that the ones that would have autoflowred should have around the 5th to 7th node or 5-10 weeks (I think)(double check their internet site) but like I said I didn't get any autos.
The plants seem to be doing awsome considering only being outside since the beggining of July. They were all grown naturally (meaning not topped or trained) and are between 6-8 feet tall. They have only begun to flower so the buds aren't very big so no mold issues so far. They have shown to be very resiliant and not effected too much by bugs.. I'm happy with them... Sensi Seeds has awsome genetics.
