Florida Growers Thread

Not necessarily.
A lot has to do with whether your plant is an Indica (or Indica dominant) or Sativa (or Sativa dom) and what kind of light cycle she was on during veg.
In general, an Indica dominat plant vegged indoors under more than 18/6 will start to flower if you put her outside no matter what time of the year it is here in Fla.
Sativa's will also flower.
For example, I have a few C99's that are flowering away outside right now, as well as a SSH that's budding away. Both were vegged indoors under 24/7 light, both Sativa dom

Yes, most strains of mj, especially indicas, seem to flower as soon as you put a clone outside in South Florida any time of year. I'm not so sure about the northern part of the state, but it should be similar. I don't think any indica clones ever veg outdoors here. "Early" strains like Durban and Early Pearl flower like indicas even if they are sativa. I hear that Skunk and Haze can veg from late April til mid August. Seed plants veg for a few months before they flower, but clones are as old as the mom from which they are cut.

If your clones don't veg outdoors, you can either grow a different strain, veg indoors, or put out more clones (even a new batch every month). The second and third options have worked well for me. I have never grown a strain that can veg outdoors here.

Botanists use the term "photoperiodism" to describe plants like mj that are induced to bloom by the length of the night time. When daily dark time is more than the "critical" amount of time, it produces the hormones that build up over a few days to cause the plant to start blooming. The critical time varies a lot from strain to strain and can ever vary a little from plant to plant within a strain.

Aint that the truth man. My uncle went to Vietnam and when he came back they spit on him. He told me he couldnt believe that shit. The same people that sent him over there and drafted his ass spitting on him and calling him a baby killer. WTF is that right. I think a day of thanks is too little.

 

[Too old to care]

Hey All,

Back again. Been a few days. Had to go out and get a real job. Apparently fishing and going to the beach don't pay the bills. :-0

Spicoli> Thanks, hopefully won't burn down the house. Haven't blown anything up in 2 weeks now...good 2 weeks
Ghost>Love your posts, so helpful
Super> Nice hearing from a local
IGYB> Lab Rat? Mmmm depends what your testing LOL

Hopefully I'll post some pics later today. I've got 4 kids at 10days old from seed. So far all three are growing differently.

Thanks All for the encouragement and have fun.

Man, if I'd been there to see something like that I'd loose my fucking religion......these MEN and WOMEN, while in uniform and serving this country are our most precious blood, there is no higher calling.

WE THE PEOPLE send them to war, if you don't like it then VOTE and change it!!

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, IT'S PAYED FOR WITH BLOOD.

Might wanna review the sentencing guidelines, if you have 25 or more plants you in deep shit, keep it at 24 and under, this is off the NORML site

20 g or less misdemeanor 1 year $1,000 More than 20 g felony 5 years $5,000 25 or more plants (formerly 300 plants) felony 15 years $10,000 Sale or Cultivation Delivery of 20 g or less misdemeanor 1 year $1,000 25 lbs or less felony 5 years $5,000 25 to 2,000 lbs (or 2,000 plants) felony 3 years MMS* $25,000 2,000 to 10,000 lbs (or 10,000 plants) felony 7 years MMS* $50,000 10,000 lbs (or 10,000 plants) or more felony 15 years MMS* $200,000 Within 1,000 feet of school, college, park or other specified areas felony 15 years $10,000 *Mandatory minimum sentence. Miscellaneous (paraphernalia, license suspensions, drug tax stamps, etc...) Paraphernalia possession misdemeanor 1 year $1,000 Any conviction causes driver's license suspension for 6 months to 2 years. Details

​

Under the new law, possession of 25 or more plants (formerly 300 plants) is prima facie evidence of intent to sell or distribute, and is a second degree felony carrying a maximum penalty of 15 years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Naa....you've been in the UK to long, the food, bad weather and laxed attitude toward MJ has soften you.
Before you return make sure to read local news about drug bust and the time that they give them, a couple of corrupt cop stories and then brush up on Fl mandatory sentencing guide lines...etc

LOL....Naa I've got 19 going including clones, so that leaves room for no more then 6. Some of the strains I have are not femed so I'll need to pop 5-6 to make sure I get some girls!

So far it looks like Cole Train though I think evil has a good idea.

Yeah, I'm about to cut one down, that why the math seems a little off. I always stay under 25, just in case O' shit!

 

[Guest 16149]

Thats why I said something wanted you and everyone else to realize anything over 24 gets you big trouble Did not want any misconceptions
One never knows when the O' shit will hit the fan

WISDOM, thats why I've made IC my home.

Thanks MK....I always get paranoid when I get home. Nobody gives a fuck over here in England, as long as you keep it to yourself.

Florida seems to be going the way of Texas....ruled by ****servatives with a bible and a billy club.

But even here there is always a little paranoia...only in Amsterdam is there the 'Aaahhhh'.

Thinking of going old school soon...getting some old strains Columbian, Jamaican, Panama...all the shit I used to smoke in the 70's during university.

Yeah I know the genetics won't be the same or traceable back to yesteryear...but it will be kinda like the first time you get drunk and fuck a girl in the ass....feels good and close enough.

Let me see if I have this right...1 plant no matter what size = 1 pound? So if I have 13 plants that = 13 pounds and falls into the 25 lbs or less?

In a nutshell, yes.
When you get a chance, google "Marijuana grow house eradication Act". Thats AG Bill McCollum's baby and what we now have to deal with in Fla.
Theirs more to it than just plant count folks. Children living in the house you grow in? Automatic first degree felony no matter plant count.
Got a Pistol? Legal ownership or not, it's a felony because it was where found where you are conducting an illegal enterprise.
Florida can/will fuck you every which way they can, the got laws on top of laws for our growing asses.
Like Blaner said, never know when the Oh shit hit's the fan.

So 13 plants in a stealth grow, 3 kids, a shotgun and a .22 cal rifle could get you sent away for a wile huh? F**K F**K F**K!!!!! God dammed florida, when will the people here ever wake up?
