Anyone doing a spring harvest this year? Let's see some pics!

I'm thinking about throwing these 25 blue cookie girls outside right now to flower. They will have 2 months to bud before the start of the real outdoor season.

Let's see some spring grows people.... it's going to be 70 for next month or so so why not.good central California weather . Besides the 1st day of spring its gna rain a little

Plant spacing looks great. Reflective walls like panels or panda film a few inches from the outside grow bags will increase yield. It's also easy to water by hand or add drip lines or flood/drain (bottom feed) irrigation with that table.

I ,m moving 2plants in the bush from house,in 5lpots,in flowering mode allready.
I run my seeds from mixed genetic.
Now,first flowering is for finding plants for growing outdoor whole year.
Revegetation will show me when will start flowering again.
I have three sisters with very similar look and smell,shape is also similar only size is diferent.
This year still without any branded seed,i make order last night .

I sprayed some chemical ant spray around the perimeter of the house in the past but I think I have had better results with boric acid powder, cinnamon, or diatomaceous earth applied around the edges/corners of the room.

I'm going to flower these all the way thru .I can get more of the same clones if I need to. I o ly reveg if that's the only option to keep the genetics. Otherwise it takes to long

Any thoughts of throwing these outdoors right now for a early harvest????

I think it could be done, although I’m waiting until 4/1 myself to do the same thing. Mine are smaller so hoping warmer inside night temps and steady light will make for bigger starts.

Sacramento average last frost date is 3/21, Modesto 3/28, Auburn 4/11, Nevada City 6/1, LA is 2/1.

Boric acid and sugar water works for the ants, there is a commercially available form with 15% boric acid I believe. Terro is the brand. Works really well, and so far my own attempts to replicate have fallen short

So this is possible? I knew it was, but posted about it on another forum, and was told no. As the days were getting longer. Evidence was offered, but I was never convinced.

Been doing it for years! Summer your plants under 20hr photo period and then switch to 12 12, ten days before putting them out. Make sure the outdoor photo period is not over 12hrs in the beginning. Once you put them out you have about 50 to 60 days of flowering. I'm doing it now, with some short stocky fast flowering Indica's. Checked on them this week and they are flowering and stinking!

Thanks for your help. It settles my mind. I may even get to make use of this some day :)

Only 10 days later then mine.... I flipping mine to flower tonight.

Thanks for ant Info

Silverback's force flowering threads explain Ideally you want to start them on 12/12 indoors for a week or so and give them a few hours each day outdoors in the sun before leaving them out to finish.

Here is a link to information Ive gathered on force flowering:

You can't expect much with just 10 or 15 days outdoors. In about 30 more days I hope to have spring flower photos to show.
