[Brosko82]

Hey first timer here , I think I started too early put my biggest critical kush out on March 20th since I don't have allot of room indoors , small light etc .... Is there anyone else in Bay area coco county etc that put there's out this soon .... I've read that some people do as soon as threat of frost clears ?

Ive had frost covered seedlings many times..its not the frost that kills the plants (snaps stem) its the quick thaw that gets them..

It is too early to put plants out. They will start budding. They need 14 hr of light or more.

Probably won’t get 14 hours till the end of May. Mine are going out. About 200 miles north of Coco County. Your temps look OK.

ive been growing outside and inside(santa cruz co) for 40+ years .Iv enever put them out before May 20 usually June 1 especially for clones.But seen alotof others do it and its always the same,buds then the days start getting longer and the buds stop growing. Then they try and save them by re vegging and its always the new grower.Patience and timing are the key to growing especially outdoors. Just start over when its time

If you can, u could add few household 10w led bulbs on top to keep em veggin...a couple will do the trick!

 

[Oldchucky]

thanks for intervening and keeping us from doing something stupid, marshman and rrock. Will add supplemental lights for a few hours when I have to move the starts out. Thanks also grapefruit. They are right, brosko82.

My son lives in Oakland and puts his plants out on the back porch weather permitting, as you get rain fog and cold wind coming off the bay.

 

[Madmax]

Sorry mate didnt realise your still in winter.i thought you was coming into spring when i seen you mention that some guys plant outdoors after the last frost.. ✌

Sunrise 657, sunset 730. Was thinking that might be enough daylight to keep them from flowering. Evidently it might not be so want to Err on the side of caution. Running regs so want to get them as large as possible before they go in to their final home. Still going to have to sex them out on down the line a ways. It looks like the weather is OK to put them out and keep an eye on it. Can light them up for a few hours every evening till late May.
