no not possible in my oppinion, as i know it hazes come from near the equator. where the light cycle is close to 12/ 12 through out the seasons naturally. flowering and veg is a fine line. the light hours durring augest around here i suspect would send hazes into a vegging state, devoiding all your hard work and thought. I love sativas too man. I dont know this for fact but it is simple reasoning. You should work with your climate given to produce the best. here its not hazes outdoor.

Would the light cycle be 12/12 outside by then? There might be a little environmental shock, but if the climate stays above freezing at least until October, go for it.

What would be better is if you had a small greenhouse to flower in, then it would turn out better if the weather turn against you.

try this:
sunrise/sunset times

My concern with your idea is that the plant coming from indoors to outdoors in full flower might get stressed badly from the shock. A greenhouse is the best idea, or grow it outdoors and put it into a light deprivation closet a month before it's 12/12 outside.

Basic understanding of the suns rays impacting plant growth will tell you that the dwindlng strength of our sun at that time will not produce glands rich in mind bending thc. The plants wont yield well either.

Honestly i could write a novel how this plan is flawed, the only way i could say its a good plan is if your goal is to manufacture a high grade vegan plant fertilizer high in nitrogen from your finnished product.

Grow the beans i gave you, for all the money in the world cant buy those seed lines they have to be gifted. They will produce plants that will finnish in good time they wont mould, and will produce lots of mind bending thc along with fragrances that i want would like to bottlle and spray on myself through out the day.. Ultimatly though its more so how you grow it than what your growing. Good genetics is a good start.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just build yourself a black box, and start your 12/12 cycle on June 15th. 10 week strain means done by Aug 24th, 14 week strain would be done on Sept. 21st.

You'll get a stronger sun budding in July Aug early Sept. then you would in late Sept and all of Oct.

Peace

P.S. start your seeds today. Give em a real nice long veg inside for sure.

I dont undestand why people want to make extra work when the right genetics can take care of all the issues.

If your looking for a pure sativa high grow haze , build a black box and have your plants flowering when the sun is strongest.

Chong I will make a strain just for for you buddy.... northern haze.

I will cross a super quick flowering sativa known as cinderella 99 to nevilles haze. Grow those out select the best quickest, out of that line and cross it to brads guerilla gold. More selections will ensue beans will be ready in 3 years.

Sorry for coming off like such a pompus dick but thats how it is, also im admist a shroom induced psychosis.

Thanks chong i was thinking about it, the northern haze idea would be too simmilar a concept to brads gg x c99, something more original is in order.

It could work, but take the following factors into account:
- Use a smaller pot, cut on the nitrogen to trigger flo
- Start reducing you hours indoors at 15-30mins less per day, until that your indoor light hours are somewhat close to the outside light hours
- Let your indoor plans get used to UV the first days
- Under cold climate plans grow slower, sativas don't like cold. A GH for when she's outdoors would be best, particularly as it would also extend your season.

A Dark box could also be something, keep the plant as mother and take cuttings to go under 12/12 indoors/outdoors.

Jonhy your seed-cross sound good, but what about (C99 x Amnesia Haze) x GG?
