How much light?


Recommended Posts

sorry mate i sometimes put to much down & confuse people when trying to write it out in stead of just speaking direct with someone face to face  

 

of cause you can 

it only is a prob when you germ indoors under light 

& if they stay in indoors for some time under longer light hrs than outdoors 

once they go out as a older plant they could start flowering from a large light hour decrease 

as a tiny just sprouted seedling this is not a prob 

 

if you germ outdoors around that time you won't have any issue 

 

have a play mate get some seeds , can be any seed but you can buy hemp seed 

sold as bird feed , & start sprouting seeds & see what works best for you & get used to the or your process  

Ahh.....Itchy!! You've put my mind at ease. I'd buy you a beer if I could!!

I recon I'll have a go germinating then planting at the Spring equinox then....

I've also got  about 10 autos so I might put them out too and see how they go...

Thanks for getting back to me hey. I really appreciate it :-)

Itchy's info is good.

 

The Father's/Mothers day rule is not necessarily applicable to all strains, and whilst popping sativa beans on dad's day is probably fine for most Aus latitudes, it's not for a lot of indica's in my experience in Northern NSW.  When they germ the light cycle doesn't mean shit to them, but after 2-3 weeks when they hit sexual maturity it means everything to them, and as Itchy said, some indica's can pop into flower as high as 14-14.5hrs light per day.  This is even more likely to happen if you put them out after being in a light cycle with more hrs of light, or if you are growing clones, especially off a revegged plant.

 

I start my indi dom's off under 14-15hrs light/day and put them out mid to late October.  I've started sati doms outside from seed in mid September with no problems.

 

As for what to do, be less rushed and more relaxed, then make a plan and enact it.  You don't need to start them super early to get decent sized plants, you just have to give them adequate light, water, and nutrition outside, and nature will grow you some monsters.  So if you make a plan that gives those things you'll do well even if you leave it a couple more months.

 

:peace:

Hi Hashy!! Thanks for that info too! I'm a bit of an overthinker (check out all my posts and you'll get a clear picture of that!)...

I've got Skunk #1 seeds (sativa) to try out so fingers crossed, I should be ok. As I said to Itchy, I might put out some autos as well and see what happens. Maybe I'll be surprised at the result. I'm really not greedy and wanting multiple pounds (OK, I lied but you know what I mean lol).

So long as it's worth my time ;-)

Have a good one mate!

The rough rule where I am is start outdoories AFL grand final weekend.

 

 

Where I am we only get amax of 15 hours daylight in summer. Not including the pre dawn and post sunset light.

 

From memory I started plants late September and they all did well and didn't flower early. The season before I got really excited and started end of August. Most plants flowered then had to reveg as the day light hours got longer. Did start a couple of seeds end of October and they still managed to hit the 5-6 foot tall mark
