I used to think it was how long flowering takes in weeks. Now after my first year outdoor, I think it's just when they start to flower. Some strains start flowering when the days are still longer and the nights not as short.
So lets say you make some seeds of a strain that did not finish properly outside, and grow out those seeds outdoor, and out of 30 females a few might start flowering earlier than the rest? and you select those for pollination, you should be able to breed for this trait, and take any hype indoor strain and climatize it to finish earlier?
My ideal timeframe of finishing would be middle of september. Any later than that and the days and nights get too cold (below optimum temp), and it also gets more wet, and the sun weaker, as well as less overall hours, and more cloudy weather so less intense.
Im in zone 7A, so its not that bad as others, but to me growing in october is far from ideal, even if it hasn't frosted yet. I don't think that weather is ideal for max trichome production and density.
And yes I could grow auto flowers in the middle of summer (june 15 - sep 15) - (90 days) and I am indeed pursuing that with mephisto cdlc. one just needs to make hundreds of seeds first, as you cant clone autos, which to me is a big drawback, and you cant grow trees, so one has to make it up by numbers.
