Indoor Outdoor Light Cycles

[sargentscraps]

Firstly if this has been answered anywhere please let me know as I have not been able to find it.

I'm interested to know how those who grow Outdoor who start their plants of Indoor, transition the plants light schedule from Indoor to Outdoor, as in 18/6 or 24 to the shorter days of outdoor. Now I personally just let mine go from 18/6 into whatever the natural outdoor time is (which is a hell of a lot less hours than 18) which obviously kicks the plant into flower. The plant goes to flower for a little and then eventually realises the days are getting longer and reverts to veg. However does anyone actually know how to avoid the plant going to flower? I have tried researching a fair bit and it just seems like its the elephant in the room that no one wants to acknowledge. Please respond if you have answers.

Cheers

Heya Sarge , If you wanna stop em from flowering, just stick some cheapo garden lights near em, solar poered ones be good.

set em up to come on as light fades and stay on all night, or if you can so they switch off for 6 hours.

Tbr had an excellent thread on outdoor , out of season growing. Pretty much if you just extend the days light, doesnt have to be mega powerful, you can stop the plant reverting to flower until it is supposed to in the later part of the year/ next year.

Hope that helps mate. Grow well. Peace. Gh72

well its slow, but i start mine off under corresponding light hours, as in 13+hrs light cycle

and ive found sativa dominant strains dont seem to rush to flower as quick as what Indica dom. do, but dont take that as gospel its just my observations
