is it safe to bring em out now?

[MMAjay420]

I have 2 rounds of plants vegging in my greenhouse. some for the last 2 months and a round of new clones. I only have ONE greenhouse which i supplement with lighting and have a blackout cover for. Right now i am supplementing the light so the daylight is from 6am-930pm.

What I would LIKE to do at the beginning of may is start force flowering the longer vegging ones and bringing the new babies outside to veg naturally.

So what I Need to know is this: At the end of this month (april ) can i bring my already vegging babies outside to continue vegging? or will they try to immediately flower? Im aiming to harvest the first round about july 1st and letting the rest go naturally till the end of summer.

I think the days are still too short to do a vegging period now, some may make it but some may try and flower. You also didn't say where you are located so that is a big factor as well

I put out all mine out tomorrow and i am getting 14 houres and 33 mins of sunlight pr day they come from a room with 24/7 lighting.

2-3 weeks veg and then light dep em

i know many pepol talk about the risk for plant go into flower but have newer got that result - but i also grow the same strains for years and i can put them out 1 april with out any problem.


I think u could look for what other grower in your lattitude - region does

When you can put them out will depend on your location and how much daylight you get. In most cases anytime in April will be too early. You want to wait until you are getting 14.5 hours of light.

Last Frost date is important. Around here May 12 (Mother's Day) is the semi-official start to the outdoors season. There is an 80% confidence level that it WON'T frost. Some people have had trouble with flowering and even some plant sunburn, but I never have.

Hey hobb3s93: I ran a real quick check on LA. If you are in the mountains somewhere it will be colder and more frost. Anyway Last Frost in LA is 2/11 and hours daylight on May 1 is 13.4 hours and you need more than 12 hours of light for outdoors. Sometime look at the light tool: http://astro.unl.edu/classaction/animations/coordsmotion/daylighthoursexplorer.html as it is fun to play with and I have used it before to plant. You should be good to go.
