Michigan outdoor

With the new laws in play here in the mitten I decided to give it a shot outdoors. Just curious if anyone knows the time frame for when flowering phase starts and maybe any other pointers or big differences from indoor to outdoor would be much appreciated TIA!

They will start to flower in the beginning of august here in MI when its starts getting close to 14 hours of total day light. And the best way IMO is in the ground instead of pots.

Why do you prefer in the ground? More room for roots ?

Yeah bigger roots balls and way bigger plants. If you're using living soil, super soil, or have good soil already you won't really have to water your plants either unless it doesn't rain for like two weeks. Right now my plant are the biggest i've ever grown at 5-7 feet tall with like a 3 weeks left of veg time. And sorry for the huge gap in time of responses.

It helps as well to give the plants in flower a good shaking in the a.m. as early as possible to rid excessive condensation from the dew. Many people in our state wind up with moldy flowers, P.M. and budrot as well even though it is another mold that is the most prevalent outside from my own experience along with the powdery mildew ...

If you want you can always induce flowering earlier in the summer as some people do as a way of ensuring higher odds of harvest without the cool damp fall harvest window. It only takes a few weeks to initiate flowering in late July. But it all depends upon the size of the plants, as it can be counterproductive with smaller plants unless they are grown in larger numbers..

Blessings and I hope you reap a great harvest..
