Started these on march 3rd. Set them out about March 10 or so.
I must have misjudged the light during that first week because one of the sativas went right to flower and I harvested her about 12 days ago. That's some of the wet and dry buds in the pics. Total dry weight was only 62 grams but..it was all free, so there's that.

The others are 6.5 and around 7 ft. That fence in the background is 6ft.

Those dried nugs look amazing, little early smoke as always a good thing. Bagseeds lookin fire.

Thanks! It was "accidental" early smoke as, like I said, I didn't pay close attention to the light timing when I had the seedlings indoors for the first couple weeks and when I set them out in March the one went straight to flower.

Thanks!
When I do grow, I usually have them ready to put in the ground in March. They are pretty big now and positively confirmed females.

Well, TBH these look like hybrids. Not pure either way.
The one that flowered "early" had the "classic" sativa look, though. Maybe some of the more experienced pros can tell about these. I'm not sure.

I also just started 2 feminized afghan-skunk crosses from Sensi Seeds.
Shooting for 60-90 or so days of veg and maybe 40 or 50 days to flower. I'll be cutting it close as far as cold weather but should be ok. The solstice was what? Yesterday, I think? Long outdoor growing seasons are nice
I've never started this late but was excited about these and wanted to try a couple. I have some set back for next season, though.

Last year I did 5 northern lights autos from Vision Seeds outdoors with excellent results. I'm just a "hobby" grower...especially compared to what I see some of these people doing here.

i think its getting hard to find a truely pure strain of either variety
unless you are able to source land race genetics, pref from their place of origin, most plants we grow are hybrids
i guess the more correct term would have be mostly sativa

the schedule you have sounds good but if these plants are outdoors without supplemental lighting, its kind of up to nature to decide when they start to flower
/have you grown outdoors in your current location?
where i live outdoor plants usually start to flower in mid to late august
i would usually pull down most outdoor plants in mid to late october,
/but that just for my location and strains

the plant looks great and should be a beauty
when were those pics taken?

Yes. These are mostly sativa.

Right. I start them indoors under t5's and then put them out. Like I said I've never started THIS late in the season and those are just hopeful estimates. It might not work out at all.
I've been here 15 years and grown 5 times and usually have 6 to 10 plants when I do. Small time stuff. An lb. lasts me almost a year, so I'm in good shape there.
Used to have a job that kept me on the road, otherwise I'd do it every year.

I usually have them down by Aug. / Sept. too. We'll see how it works out. There won't be any frost until at least Nov, so I'm hoping for the best.

Thanks. That's actually 2 plants in those shots. The one that has the bigger colas forming is around 6 ft and the other one is around 7 ft now. The 7 footer was topped and semi lollipopped. The one with the colas was not topped, just LST to open up the branches some.
I still have 2 that I put out a few weeks ago and haven't determined sex yet...and the two feminized afghan-skunk crosses... if they work out.

The bud pics were a few weeks ago and the plant pics were the other day.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

[pop_rocks]

that is a sweet set up you have going there!
did you build that enclosure just to grow weed?

like yourself, i pretty much just grow for myself and the mrs now, so a little goes a long way

it sounds like this is not your first rodeo, my man
your plants look nice and your technique is solid
/i am a big fan of LST and lollipopping my plants too; indoors and out

so how did the bud smoke?
