Same as everywhere else. Lol. Springtime!

Do you get frost? If not, then, assuming you're starting from seed you can start them right now. I haven't been to Pensacola since I was a wee, wee girl.

No were not getting frost this time of the year. I have some seeds but since this will be my 2nd outdoor grow the first was unsuccessful (the plants started to flower then went into reveg) I will get a few clones before popping my seeds.

Clones are MUCH more likely to reveg than seeds. If you go with clones you're going to need to keep them lit, or do other things to prevent the reveg. I say start your beans now, let them grow. Once they're between 6-8 nodes tall they'll start growing alternating leaves and that's when they'll show sex. If you start now should happen by April at the latest. Then you're on your way!

You doing the new medical thing down there? I know some folks but they're really having troubles with their docs insisting that they use the opiates first, and often that makes them sick, or they have addiction issues, etc.

Will all clones placed outside reveg if no supplemental light is available? Not a medical grow just for personal use. Thanks for the reply ma'am

You're most welcome, and to clarify my own position, I am + towards either/both kinds of use. I started out smoking because I *really* like getting high, not because I thought there was some medical value in it. 43 years now all told.

Whether or not they reveg will really depend on how they've been being grown while inside. If they've been put on a strict light schedule, then in my experience a difference of as little as 1hr reduced daylight will cause them to start flowering. I do know a nursery provider here in California who has a computer program that matches the clones to actual daylight phase (at a particular latitude I'm assuming) and those cuts grew out just like seed starts. But that's the only time I've had that experience, otherwise I have always had to add at least a small amount of light.

My last outdoor grow (keep in mind this was in the central Sierra Nevada, not sure how much farther north than you we're talking, but for sure farther north) I slapped like.. I dunno, 3-5 of those cheap solar walkway lights in the greenhouse and that kept everything from flipping on me. If it's possible for you to do the same thing, then great. OTHERWISE, you might want to learn about how light deprivation works, because once they flip into flower, as I think you now know, it's really better to keep them flowering. Deprivation can be as simple as a trash can flipped over the plants (assuming they're not too big) to ensure they only get 12hrs daylight.

I've seen indoor plants in beautiful, full flower in a warehouse that had enough light that I could view them. And that was their dark phase! No revegging. Tripped me out hard.

Have you guys seen the guy from Tampa that opened up a school and plans on opening 15 locations around Tampa being dispensaries? Medical Marijuana Tampa. He's hiring now! lol

I'm traveling from Michigan to Tampa right now lol what's this guys name or company

I just left Tampa last year... in CO now. I don't understand why people move to 5.5 mil population. Then again, I dislike most people lol. Law Enforcement there is pretty terrible too... at least they are more lax in Tampa than St. Pete. Good luck lol :)
