[nyckid]

Man all my plants are flowering outdoors already its fuckin July I've run the same strains outoors for years
the crows are out there squakin every morning like its fall WTF is going on?!?!

Its not because its a wet summer. We have had wet summers before, I have multiple multiple strains outdoors and they are all flowering in 3 different states Full bloom like its September. Buds are at least 5 weeks in and looking killer by the way. All were put out in May, June and July. New strains, old strains, Hybrid strains. My friends out here they are having the same shit happen..wtf?
Anyone else having this happen? But every morning them crows man they don't usually come out like this until September man. Squaking there heads off before the sun comes up. Dairy Farmers are all sayin the same shit.

Dude I got the same problem outdoors where I am. The days here have been so cloudy everyday and on and off with rain that the outdoor plants are only getting 6 or 7 hours of light. Talk about a messed up season.

Re:nyckid

I kind of asked the same question earlier this month.
I'm trying my first grow and the clones are put outside,root and then show gender.I think i'm getting about 14-15 hours of daylight down here in the mid atlantic.
I'm a newb and it's got me confused.

I have heard more folks complaining about their outdoor plants flowering early this summer. At first I thought nobody must understand light training or something. But man, gotta wonder what the deal is. I guess if it gets worse next year we will all know we're in deep shit. I have not heard anything about problems with other crops. Has anyone else?? I would imagine if food crops were also acting strangely it would be front page news.

There is some kind of disease that is killing tomatoes. They say as soon as you see it on the leafs you have to just kill the whole plant.

CONCORD, N.H. – Tomato plants have been removed from stores in half a dozen states as a destructive and infectious plant disease makes its earliest and most widespread appearance ever in the eastern United States.

Late blight — the same disease that caused the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840s — occurs sporadically in the Northeast, but this year's outbreak is more severe for two reasons: infected plants have been widely distributed by big-box retail stores and rainy weather has hastened the spores' airborne spread.

The disease, which is not harmful to humans, is extremely contagious and experts say it most likely spread on garden center shelves to plants not involved in the initial infection. It also can spread once plants reach their final destination, putting tomato and potato plants in both home gardens and commercial fields at risk.

Meg McGrath, professor of plant pathology at Cornell University, calls late blight "worse than the Bubonic Plague for plants."

"People need to realize this is probably one of the worst diseases we have in the vegetable world," she said. "It's certain death for a tomato plant."

Tomato plants have been removed from Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Lowe's and Kmart stores in all six New England states, plus New York. Late blight also has been identified in all other East Coast states except Georgia, as well as Alabama, West Virginia and Ohio, McGrath said.

It is too early in the season to know whether infected plants will taint large crops or negatively affect commercial growers. But if that happens, growers could be forced to raise prices to cover costs associated with combating the disease.

Agriculture officials in the various states still are trying to determine where the outbreak started. One major grower, Alabama-based Bonnie Plants, supplies most of the tomato plants to big-box stores, but it is unclear whether the plants were infected before or after leaving the supplier's multiple greenhouses.


Lets hope it sticks just to tomatoes

gotta have your plants trained on a 16/8, or even 18/ light cycle so they get used to a bit of darkness.

in other words dont put fresh clones outside. train your veg plants to grow in 16/8 light, stick em out in june. youll be all good dude. Veggin monsters man.

 

[purpleberry]

I put mine out May15 and they were all vegged under 18/6 and several are from seed. There all about 3.5' tall and bushy. They are not full on flowering but it looks they will be. Looks like 1 week in to me, if they were inside. Maybe they will keep veggin.
