Flowerin Times overseas vs. US

[kushking20]

I had a buddy try and tell me that the flowering times on beans u see on the net from overseas aren't exact flowering times?(He says they take longer like 2 more weeks that stated on seed packages.) He also said that flowering times over here are alittle longer. Can someone please tell me the truth about this.

It's all about latitude friend. You're buddy doesn't know what he's talking about, or at least didn't explain it properly. Here in Michigan, my plants are going to finish about the first week of october, cause after then, it's too cold to leave them out an longer. Overseas in say, Argentina, October is the beginning of spring, so nothing will be flowering.

Flowering times that seed companies give are not accurate if you ask me, different phenotypes, hours of light is a big one I have to grow a plant that starts flowering beginning of august if I want it to finish and I know to expect frost after October 7th where I live. If I was to grow a strain that required 12 hours of light to flower outdoors it would never finish. For indoors I have gotten seed packs from companies that ended up taking 2 weeks longer than advertised because I didn't get there short flowering phenotype that they advertised the packs as.

I believe some companies (most notably Sensi Seeds) in the past have listed indoor flowering times based on first appearance of floral clusters and not starting from switching to 12/12. This would mean you should add about ten days to some flowering times. This seems logical because the Mr. Nice listed at 45 days and the 50 day black domina were more like 55 and 60 days to maturity.

By the way if you are anywhere in America you can walk to Argentina so its not overseas !!!

Good point, but i think you meant to say "anywhere in the united states." "America" or "The Americas" means more to many than just 'el norte'.
