we have a few patios that i drag the plants under during hard rains, so we usually put our plants under there (underwear?). it stays shady all day and gives them time to adjust, BUT the last 2 years weve had probs with early flower, this year im vegging them longer indoors to make sure theres no early flower
You may be rather close to me, then. I'm at 2500' elevation. I've been trying to find the pix of my seedlings with snow all over them (posted here however many years ago) and can't find it. But I do remember putting the pic up and this one guy felt so sorry for me! Told me I was screwed and had better get to poppin' more beans. Oh, the crop I pulled that year! All from those little 'frozen' babies.WOW, tons of good info on this thread, things I'd never thought about. I've come to adopt popped beans indoors (don't have indoor accommodations for moms just yet) in Feb and given them 18 hour light cycles under my T5 until I put outside. I've been burned by not mitigating cold weather/snow and transplant shock putting them outside @ May 15 but have never seen one of my seed plants flower flip or herm due to putting them out that early. I've always just put them out under heavy tree shading for a week to adjust to the light intensity and they've done great. I'm in the upper hills East of Sacramento as a point of reference for lighting. I guess if you have the room still and are sweating it, just put them out later in May or early June and you don't need the light adjustments. Bigger is better after all... ;) Best of luck and keep us posted!
Blaze that's interesting, I always thought it had to be darker to induce flowering?
I thought so too, until I saw an entire crop, indoors, in full swing of flower, during their 'dark' phase that was like twilight. I was colored 'blown away.'

Gotta love 20 hours of daylight! :)They grow some kick-ass weed in Alaska from what I saw, best I've seen outside of Cali so far.
Thats where a "porch light" is handy Sea. No laws against porch lights..Yes, many people have and do.
Another thing to consider here is that as time goes on many municipalities, my county included, have enacted ordinances that specifically disallow this, or have stringent requirements. There are also those who don't want that additional light attracting attention. But it's certainly a technique that works if the situation allows for it. I still preferred the interrupted photoperiod so I don't have to concern myself with trying to get lights outside.
You know, I've never bothered with seed starts, they've never given me a problem (outside of that one autoflower that fully budded out at a massive 3" tall). And clones are the only instance where I've had the problem of flipping into flower and veg, back and forth, when put outside from inside photoperiods. So I can't say that it would cause a problem, or wouldn't cause a problem. That was terribly helpful, wasn't it?so if i start interrupting the light cycle for the remaining plants in my veg room, will it screw up the plants i started from seed (some of which will flower indoors, while some will go out) - is this only effective on clones?
Probably where you are, but here there are, again depending on municipality and what's happening. Locally there have been a few problems with light pollution that's resulted in a less forgiving stance on exterior lighting of any sort that invades another person's 'view-shed.'Thats where a "porch light" is handy Sea. No laws against porch lights..
Lots of folks here in the hills where I live have big "Street lights" in there driveway and on their barns. ;)
I have some out under my porch lights for over week now and so far so good:)
If they have been in your veg room under 18/6 (?) then, Yes, they will flower if you put them out too soon.im refering to plants grown from seed in my veg room now that i want to put out asap because by room is over crowded. Ive got a kosher kush, kandy kush, blue og and og kush#18 that i germinated in late january so they are mature are ready anytime to flower, so i guess im asking if they will flower if put out early because they are mature enough
