A lot of the problem might be the strain that you are growing. Sativa strains seem to flower later than most Indica and Indica Hybrids, at least fro my experience. Sativa's also can take 12 weeks or more to flower, which makes it a poor choice for growing in northern (or southern) climates that have a cold winter. Indica strains will usually start to flower in August if started in early May ro earlier (starting indoors is fine). A Sativa started early might flower a little sooner than one that is started later when grown outdoors, but I don't think it matters too much as the photoperiod is the main trigger and it doesn't vary much.
I would recommend an Indica or Indica dominant strain, or even a possible auto if a short season is a problem. I live in the NYC area and have never been able to get a plant to finish well when outdoors... I always run out of growing season and end up with buds on my snow covered plants in November. Beware of growers claims they have ultra short flowering times... it is usually a gimmick to get more customers like yourself that have shorter growing seasons. If you start an Indica early indoors and move it out as soon as weather permits, you should have a large plant and a nice yield by October!
I nipped out one of my plants to experiment but didn't think it liked it.top your plants a few times that will help..... Most everyone does alot of training.... I don't but that's just me...... I have always grown outside and I believe the sun and time does what is needed.... Now I'm trying in tents and I'm here getting Help also....
But if flowering is triggered by length of daylight hours .....?I have NOT grown this or Got Beans from here... ( I want the Snoop Beans but can't get payment to work for me but I would get beans from logic for sure...) But something like this flower time 60 days.....
Perhaps consider autoflowering plants?But if flowering is triggered by length of daylight hours .....?
I think an autoflower variety might be a good choice for you, as mentioned above. Auto's don't require a photoperiod and are more predictable regarding their life cycle and budding periods. I haven't grown one myself, but I think they would be great for a case like you have. With an Auto, you can start anytime you wish and get buds when you want them. Photoperiod plants are great if you have the time and location to grow them properly. If you have time constraints, an Auto might be the answer to your problems.I nipped out one of my plants to experiment but didn't think it liked it.
I'm growing Blueberry Twist again next year but am going to try growing horizontally this time. Not sure how I'm going to provide blackout conditions to trick the ladies into flowering though. I have other things in the greenhouse to consider.
I sometimes wonder if I'm over thinking this ....
