Ontario, Canada, Outdoor Growers Thread

what's the min amount of direct sunlight a plant will need?

must have 5 hours direct sun light or you will get stretched out plants with airy buds

New to the forum, trying Critical 2.0 for it's earlier flowering. Plan is to grow outdoors using LST then when ready move to a grow tent and flower as well as control odours..don't want to attract the town kids. Believe me you notice it since legal when out for a fall walk.

best of luck ,ya seems legalization has just brought out more thieves everyone is looking to see whos growing. And lots of people putting them on display which is nice to see as i cruz around but puts a target on your back. I grow in 5 gallon buckets so i can bring them in at night . kinda funny to probably everyone who is showing their plants off didn't buy government regulated seeds legalization is a joke.

Hey All, brand new to the forum and to the hobby but I found this thread related to Ontario and figured it would be great to chat with folks in the same area. I'm based in GTA and am on my first 'real' grow. My VERY big problem at the moment is that two of my four plants have started to flower and the supplier of the clones swears up and down they aren't autoflowers. They are getting lots of light - first light until at least 6 or 7pm, I am all over them with watering, feeding, etc. so I just don't know what is happening. I'm going to kick back and watch them do their thing - no way I have enough know how to fix it - but would love to hear any ideas related to why this is happening.

I have one Trainwreck and one Do-Si-Dos that are doing good, the two that are flowering are both Blueberry.

Nice to meet everyone and I'm super excited to finally (and legally - crazy!) grow my own.

Hey GNick55!
One thing I've learned from looking at the forums is I need to get a serious handle on writing shit down and tracking daylight, etc. For the time being I'm freeballing it.

I have them in direct sun from around sunup and then have to move them so they get hit by afternoon/evening and aside from a few times where I forgot or went away for a day that's their schedule.

Definitely happy to answer questions or take any pointers you have.

Sorry, meant to add that while the plants are only about 2.5 feet tall they are pretty bushy and they look great. It's just so weird that they are already budding. I just realized I didn't put pictures but will upload some.

Stick to the indicas. Gotta flower as quick as possible. The Hindu and Afghani Kush lineages like northern lights and skunk are usually quick finishers. I’m trying cheese and purple punch this year.

you may want to try your luck with autoflowers if you want to expand your range of strains into more sativa leaning strains.
