Florida Growers Thread

[Tropical]

I have a safe address for all seeds and clones, but I have never hesitated to buy gardening supplies by mail. I have also made purchases from the local hydro store several times in my own car without ever getting any attention from leo. ymmv Just remember that growing tomatoes is perfectly legal. If you do something that is highly suspicious of marijuana cultivation, the leo still needs probable cause. They can go through your garbage looking for evidence, but that isn't any fun and they need to be sufficiently motivated to go through that much effort. The easy thing is the "knock and talk." They ask you to show them your grow room. You ask to see the warrant which they don't have until they have probable cause.

I usually make a trip to the dumpster behind my neighborhood shopping center at 7am on New Year's Day. That is a good time to get rid of incriminating garbage. It just looks like you are cleaning up from a holiday party because garbage pick-up is canceled on holidays.

Stems and branches and soil go out with my lawn clippings, leaves, palm fronds, tree branches, etc. That stuff blends in nicely. I don't have a pick-up pile on my property, so it always goes out to a neighboring pile. Every neighborhood has a homeowner who lives on a corner and puts his clippings out on the side of his house and doesn't really care that other people pile on top of it.

Stem ,branches and soil are also easily mowed into your yard

It's been quiet here. Does anybody have anything growing? I have a couple plants to put outside next month.

 

[swampdank]

Whoa! I didnt know this thread even existed! Hell yeah FLA in the house!

 

[Spicoli]

Been looking for awhile and finally found it. The FL thread! Nice to see fellow sunshine staters in the house. Yes we do have very strict cultivation laws that SUCK ASS!! But, it's nice to that there are alot of fellow Floridians that don't believe in those laws

 

[swampdank]

Ya, our laws suck testes. But, we do have an awesome outdoor opportunity. Gimme the haziest haze, Most sativa strain you can find, I can take her all the way to mid december.

I think I am going to start a social group for us FLA catz. I will return to this thread when the work is done to invite my fellow sunshine state croppers.

 

[Guest 16149]

Got a thing or two going, will post up after I get camera batteries

In fact, we like to come to this thread and flout those laws by posting our grow pics. Here is some from summer of 2008 grow:

Nice plants Tropical. Those are really good looking for summer time. Being from FL myself i've found it really hard to flower through summer (other then using trash cans or something similiar to force 12/12). Mine also usally get pretty lanky. Kudos though seems like you got the summer dialed.

 

[Spicoli]

Ya Swamp you are right, you can grow some monsters in summer. MMMMMM good haze

Swampdank, there is already a thread for Florida Stoners. Try a search. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel.

You must be growing some very late season sativas. I find that i have no problem flowering any indica or early sativa, like THSeeds Early Durban. In fact, there is the opposite problem. They will flower as soon as you put a clone outside, any time of year. You need to supplement the light, adding around six hours of light per night to keep these guys in veg. I usually just veg indoors and put them out to flower.

 

[Spicoli]

Ya, I guess i'll look into some other strains as you mentioned above. I usally do the indoor veg/ outdoor flower thing to, but am starting to like the indoor more. Don't get me wrong though, I'll take some good outdoor over good indoor anyday. Just somethin about the outdoor. I have had some like you said with no problem flowering outdoors(like C99: indica pheno). C99 is a awesome outdoor or for any matter just great strain in or out. Mine was from the Gypsy Nirvana 03 collection (wish I could get some more).

 

[dbfr3sh]

im new to the area, im way up north. what is the best time to flower outdoors? and what are we funded for chopper fly-overs?

 

[Spicoli]

Hello an welcome dbfr3sh

You can pretty much flower year round here in FL But then again you have to account for dreaded Hurrican Season So in my opinion i'd say that anytime between Dec to Apr would be your best bet this way you avoid the season which I think is Jun1 through Nov 30.

As for Fly-overs, as long as you aren't blantant about your grow you should be fine. As long as your running a headstash op between 1-10 plants(don't know if you are). thats also if your growing in your backyard. I've had some cops flyover with plants growing and they didn't look twice. If your talking about a big op in the woods, one word Location, just make sure your grow blends into the surrounding natural foilage and you should be fine.

 

[dbfr3sh]

nah personal amount under 10, in woods. im just wondering because of the import/export business that there would be more funded flyovers. but i wanted to know when they naturally flower outdoors in fl
