Right now I’m on an 18/6 schedule so if I put them out on Mother’s Day I’m kinda hoping they go into flower

If they are photoperiod plants, when you put them out will have little influence on when they flower. They will flower when long nights trigger them. You can move them inside a dark enclosure starting in mid July, then you improve your chances of finishing because you initiated flowering prior to when they otherwise would.

You would have to do this every night and move them again every morning. No exceptions.

Yeah! And if they are photo periods and you put them out on Mother’s Day and they start flowering then you’ve opened up a whole other can of worms that you don’t wanna deal with! Ask me how I know! Lol you want to make damn sure that you wait until you’re sure they’re not going to flower!

I think Mother's day is May 11th this year and with rapidly shortening night periods/longer daytime periods leading up to the end of June, its possible but he's probably safe from going into flower in May. Hopefully so because the process of re-vegging takes both time and energy from the plant. Energy it could have otherwise spent on growing.

I’ve done it a couple times! Shows how dumb I am! And I tried to let them go and complete a re-veg under natural light! They just wouldn’t do it! They just kind of stalled out for a month and it wound up being a Mexican standoff! Even with 15 hours of light! I would go out there every day to look and the plant would say, fuck you! And I would say fuck you! Along about 1 July, I got tired of it! Executed them with some number four turkey shot! Made me feel better! But I had started some more and they came out fine! Just let these go to see what would happen! you just have to be aware of those hours of light and dark! And I don’t see getting much advantage trying to cheat mother nature by a couple of weeks early! In hindsight! Lol! I’m a careful motherfucker now!

I've put younger plants (4-6 wks old) outside in my greenhouse around mid May. His are considerably more mature. That could make a difference. Never the less, its an easy thing to avoid. Just put an 8 ft LED shop light in there to provide for more light. Put it on a timer to extend day light. Problem solved.

Yep! And everyone’s experience is different, depending on your latitude! But you guys back east are in veg heaven! You don’t need to try and cheat! Better to just be damn sure and you will still grow trees back there! In my area, people were telling me! Don’t put them out before the first week of June! Don’t do it! I did it! But I won’t do it again!

If you're set up in the basement to run a full grow cycle, I would keep some of those plants inside. It's kind of your guarantee you have something in the end. This is what so many new outdoor growers have the most difficulty with ... they can do everything exactly right only for mother nature to ruin it in the end.

You've got a nice peace of property from what I have seen. It looks secluded from straying eyes. I would still consider keeping some outside in the open. There's no glass above them for moisture to drip down on them. I'd love to see you succeed.

My advice for next year ... run autoflowers. You should be able to run 2 batches if you start the first inside in April and then the second the middle of May. You'll have autoflowers maturing through July and then again last few weeks of August/first week or so of September. Autos have improved so much its the easy answer for northern growers.

Pick up all the tips you can from the people that grow in your area! Jimmie grows outdoors in Long Island! He’s pretty successful yeah I’ll throw him under the bus! Next time you see him posting somewhere jump in there and ask him a few questions! He’s a nice guy! Good guy! I don’t think he’s got his own thread, but I haven’t looked! He shows up quite a bit! and auto’s are a good thing to learn on back there! Gain a little knowledge and experience! Then when you think you’re ready, you can make the jump from the minor leagues to the majors!

I’m on eastern Long Island. All the regular farmers I know with greenhouse’s are pretty much empty in the summer, it’s sooooo hot. I think you might have to remove some of the panels to keep the heat down. Great for fall with the heavy dew, but summer, not to sure. Good luck!

Stubborn is sometimes just an ugly word for persistence. All successful people are both!

okay I read a bit, tried to quote the post but it didn’t come up.

leave them in the basement. if it’s not broken don’t fix it. I’ve been the number one enemy of my grows cuz I thought I was helping. Shit I ended up on here cuz I almost killed my plants by moving them into a hot greenhouse

I am doing photos in a greenhouse this summer fall, but I’m starting sativas in there now so they can be accustomed to the hellosh temps

Where you are moving to, most people would consider the temperature hellish outside of the greenhouse!

I haven’t seen the moth yet that will refuse to lay eggs on a weed plant because it has a marigold growing next to it! But I guess it can’t hurt! Nice set up you have there! Knock it out of the park! hope you have a decent climate and a long season! And welcome aboard!
