Successive Flowering In Tropical Climates

[Jaymer]

If a year round seasonal window is ongoing what is the natural occurring seed/grow/flower cycle like outdoors. Will you find plants that sprout, vegg, and flower randomly all throughout the year or do these climates induce spanning 11+ month sativas filling in the year.

You mean in places like Hawaii that have ~12hrs of light/day every day of the year? I'm pretty sure the plants will flower straight from seed if planted outdoors unless they are genetically set on a time frame and not hours of light/dark. If it's an issue you can always start your plants inside and move them outside when it's time to flower.

Put your thinking caps on...how does a line that grows indigenous on the equator know to flower? Surely we don't think they just start flowering at sprout? -or do we?

fwiw there is very little variance between day hours and night hours year round on the equator.

there are couple different factors. the age of the plant, most colombians won't flower till they are 3 months old. the zamal likes to flower when its roots come into contact with something it can't grow through. some plants will reveg during the rain season cause they get more nitrogen with all of the extra rain.

Good point!

That, and just a little north or south of the equator we get the advantage of 2 growing seasons.
A short Winter season that is a good time to grow for seed stock and a long Summer season second to none where you can grow trees.
Getting Sativa-leaning strains to re grow is easy here.
Tossed this one out in February with a few leaves left near the base.


For Tropical grow info, look up "Old Haole".
This is an almost magical place to grow weed.
