Howdy IC! It's been years since I did a proper thread here, and I want to document this season. I'll be using a 10 x 10 canopy tent to pull two additional outdoor harvests, for a total of three rounds. I first did this in 2007 and documented it here: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?threadid=60460. It was first light-dep thread on IC, but unfortunately the pics are gone now. I used a regular dome-style camping tent next season, and although it was opaque, it worked perfectly...until my crop got ripped three weeks from harvest.
: Had to give up growing for awhile but never stopped fantasizing about how I'd scale up a forced outdoor grow, if I could. Six years later I'm finally at "can."
So, my outdoor season started on March 8, when I threw some clones (Strawberry Cough, SFV OG, Double Dream) outside to flower, followed shortly by a bunch of seed plants (Sweet Tooth, Blue Tooth, Blue Diesel, Sour Grapes) I'd been vegging inside. The upside of climate change is an extended growing season in my part of the country. You can flower immediately if your winter season allows it, and if you start early enough (no later than the first week of March). These are about done:
I figured some would finish before the days started lengthening into the "reveg zone" in the first week of May (now). The rest I planned to finish off in a forcing structure.
