my plants are outgrowing my space bucket and need to put them out soon. Is may 1st too early for Midwest? Any advice is appreciated
I think i started way too early. This is my first grow. Is it ok for plants to be crowded together for a little while? I've just been worried about them dying from no room.So in answer, the summer equinox is the longest day of the year and that happens June 21st, after that the days get shorter. I haven’t grow outdoors or many years but June 1st. Is about the earliest to put plants outside. Maybe someone else has a different take?
I started germination on February 23. Just to let you know when I startedI think i started way too early. This is my first grow. Is it ok for plants to be crowded together for a little while? I've just been worried about them dying from no room.
They look happy and have been doing great in my opinion. I've been using fox farm trio and have had a few hiccups but nothing they haven't bounced back from. I appreciate your input.Plants will be fine, just keep em happy with water, nutrients and enough light plus some ventilation and air circulation...
Our last expected frost is may 8th. So I'll probably wait until about the 10th. I read a lot of people saying that frost won't kill the plant if it gets warm enough through the day.Look at the last freezing cold date for your area, mine was last week.
A pic of them would help. Are they ready to flip as is? Photos not autos, right?my plants are outgrowing my space bucket and need to put them out soon. Is may 1st too early for Midwest? Any advice is appreciated
They're photos 2 bubba kush feminized and 3 blueberry feminized. I will take a picture when I get home.A pic of them would help. Are they ready to flip as is? Photos not autos, right?
I started with 18/6 but have slowly been trying to adjust them to outside time. I now have them at 15Depends on how much light you’ve been giving them. If you’ve been giving them 18 hours and you now have 13.5 outside, then good chance they’ll flip to flower. If your plan is to move your plants outdoors you should be matching the light schedule of the expected date you want to go outside (which obviously various depending on where you live). Nothing magical about 18 hours and no reason you can’t start indoors at lower light duration. You can light strike them outside at night (even for a short period) to trick the plant, but this can be kind of a pain unless your plants are near an existing light source.
I started with 18/6 but have slowly been adjusting them to match the outside light. Now they're on 15/9. Also they're not going to be near my house and hidden in woods. I will probably be checking on them a couple times a week because I dont want to be spending too much time around the area because I have to sneak in and out.Depends on how much light you’ve been giving them.

So I won't be able to give additional light once they're out. Just fertilizer and see how they do. I am making sure to take in consideration of wildlife. So I'm getting moth balls and making a fence around themI started with 18/6 but have slowly been trying to adjust them to outside time. I now have them at 15

I started some at 13hrs as I figured I’d put them out in early April (my longest daylight is 14:50) and they flipped before I even got them outside.I've had mine out since germination in late February. Some are flowering already, so I KNOW I put them out too early. Some are not flowering and seem to be coming along fine. Next year I'm not going to start them until at least mid-April.
