The growing large plants, outdoors, thread...

I don't think anyone on icmag could tell us exactly when flowering is triggered outside, simply b/c there are so many variables.

IMO there are many factors; calendar date, lunar cycles, soil, environment, genetics,...among others.

I agree. I didn't mean to come off as telling anybody anything. I just was saying a week here or there doesn't sound like early flowering. Now 5 weeks into flower, that is early flowering in my book. Peace and love everybody, didn't mean to be the buzzkill, lol.

Pono - Jesus those are huge! You trying for best grow on the boards two years in a row? Nice work, can't wait to see the buds on those trees. O yea, go SF Giants!

nobody wants to hear that their plants aren't early flowering first thing in the morning bro

a week early means a slightly smaller chance of shit weather during harvest.

Hey Pono how do we know those trunks aren't from a ficus tree?

You only show the stalk, no leaf. HA!

 

[OvergrowDaWorld]

How do people determine what week into flower they are in? They start to flower before really seeing any signs of it, right? Do you count back a couple weeks after you first start seeing the beginning of the buds forming?

I figure 10 -12 days back from when I first see them forming flower clusters. My Chemical Blues have been flowering for about 8 days, so I would add about 10 more days to that and say they've been flowering now for a total of 18 days.

What I think we mean...Eh Hmm, if I may, by early harvests, is that we will be harvesting a week or 2 earlier than normal. The stretch should just be starting but instead they started stretching a week or 2 earlier than expected, cutting the flower date back by a week or 2...therefore, an early harvest. Thereby decreasing the chances for frost and crap weather setting in and not being able to finish the plants properly. This year, they should be able to finish great, before the frost hits due to earlier flowering being triggered.


@ PONO ~ NEXT LEVEL!


@ BYF ~ Beautiful plants. Those mounds remind me of a firm pair of young titties.

That is usually about when I start my seeds, holy week.

Awesome garden bro, those tree's really grew into each other. I never would have thought that when you first posted the pictures of the mounds. They seem so far apart at the time. Huge healthy plants, amazing work so far.

trunk shots or they didn't happen

You should, in theory, be able to use the same formula for anticipating stretch inside. The first 40% of the plant once forced into flower with 12 hours of darkness, will be vegetative growth, and root ball development.
Take a 70 day strain for example. The first 28 days will be the stretch period, at which time flower set occurs. You then would be able to anticipate 6 more weeks of flower.
