Outdoor help!

[JaykeSucks]

Completely new to growing, about to attempt it for the first time out doors...

From the things I've read, when growing indoors, you change the lighting to 12/12 when they're about 30cms tall to make them flower, right?

How do you make them flower when growing outdoors? I know that naturally it will happen, but how do you make it happen before the plants get too big? I don't want to have a giant pot plant in my backyard, and I don't really want to go to the trouble of growing indoors.

 

So, how would I go about this outdoors?

[Radic]

if your in the southern hemi np

they wont get too big now

the grow season is almost done

 

there are ways ofcourse

 

but i would not expect dem to get over 1m if you plant now in fertile soil under full sun with irragation

 

small plant = small harvest

 

besides you could always tie dem down

or

scrog dem

put them under a screen

do a search for scrog

and youll see what i mean

 

you have de will

there many ways

Depends where you are situated as to the growing season.

Scrog or LST is a good way to go as far as keeping the plant height down.

Height is also strain dependent.

Have a read around you'll find heaps of information.

Thanks for the help guys! I've done a bit more research and realised I should be alright with what I'm growing, as according to Sensai Seeds, the strain I've got only gets to about 5ft maximum, which is fine.

I was just worried about having a 2 metre monster in my yard by accident

I think, just to be safe, I'll give the low-stress training a shot like Gills suggested.

 

When I get around to growing, I'll be sure to make a grow diary.

 

Thanks again!
