hi guys and gals so I have a little problem,(here in Australia) been searcing for answers but I cannot come up with one, so I have posted this here,/ I have started some seeds outdoors they have been moved under some CFLS under 12/12 to show there sex as I don't want to wait, my question is can i put them outdoors straight away without them flowering , or do I have to put back into 18/6 veg and than mimic the light hours outdoors ?

I want them in the ground by 20 of September or earlier
this is my light hours for the next coming months

No problem. In the 70's when I had my greenhouse, I grew them and sexed them indoors. As soon as they showed sex, the fems went into the greenhouse in the spring. They adjust to the day length and it's off to the races. If you put them out right away, you might get a mini bloom, but they will revert to veg with lengthening days. Good luck. -granger

It`ll depend on their Sat / indi ratio bro .
More Indie = quicker sexing slower return to vegg generally .
I`d recommend some magnification to look at the nodes to identify the pre flowers . I can sex plants a week or two earlier that way . The earlier you can sex the earlier you can cull/ select / make plans for world domination mwha ha ha ha .

Thanks for sharin

K to revegg .
Once you remove the majority of the stems and foliage , the plant will transpire a lot less .
So light watering with veg 1/2 strength nutes till it starts to drink . 24 hour light from a flouro . Though HPS can work it needs to be indirect .Under or behind another plant , or the fringe of the garden . Intense light seems to finish off some phenos .
Once the plant is throwing out new growth remove the old calyxes . This seems to remove some of the flowering hormones and growth accelerates .
Good luck , most plants can be revegged though some are trickier than others .

Thanks for sharin
