I am not a cannabis grower or user until recently when my Physician prescribed CDB oil. I tried the oil, thought it helped but though the price was ridiculously high and the quality suspect. So I decided to grow my own as a experiment this summer. I purchased some supposedly quality seeds (feminized) from an online store here in Canada and germinated in early April. I had two nice plants by mid April and then transplanted into large fabric pots into a small greenhouse in late May. The foliage growth has exceeded my expectations as both plants are two meters or more and very bushy. I did not fertilize with the exception of using worm castings. But I have a big problem. No flowers and I am living in a cold area of Canada.
Basically I thought something "magical" would happen come August 1st but nothing did, I suspected it was the lighting and contacted the seed supplier who confirmed I needed 12 hours of darkness each night to induce flowering. I purchased some black plastic and have been faithfully covering each night for the last week however no signs of any pistils yet. So here it is August 20th and I will be facing frosts during some nights in September and wondering what my options are. A couple of thoughts are:
- I could buy a timer and put a small electric heater so when it dips down close to freezing the heater will come on.
- I could try and bring one plant inside to finish it but would have to buy lighting, I do have a shower stall that would work I think for space.
What would help me is how long am I waiting here to being able to harvest something? I was told the heritage of the seed is:
AC/DC Clone X Columbian X Thai X Swiss X Nepalese Landrace X (Some sour diesel)
I have a couple of pics if that helps.
Any suggestions?
