Sounds like more work than just growing indoors! I have a few small cheap green houses I can throw up over the ladies if need be. A person could grow autos and harvest earlier but then your smoking on autos….

It’s all about cultur, first thing i would do is get in touch with people who are doing it with succes in your region, If there are none, you must be a genius or a loner, but i would not venture there. Humans have tried to grow this plant everywhere, if there is a place with humans that does not have plants growing already, ask yourself why, if the answer is legal and political, you found a gold mine.

I have had mixed success outdoors, I am sure that isn’t uncommon because of all the variances. If it isn’t a climate, soil or weather issue the bugs, deer and rabbits seem to up their game to be as big of a PITA as they can. It will just about bring you to tears to see a healthy crop devastated overnight, I felt as bad about that as I did when a deer ran out in front of us and I totaled our car.

I’ m not sure i can explain all i did to get to this point, but me and the rabbits have truce in one spot, the deer don’t come around and i havent seen the ground hog up there, i used wolf urine for two or three years, so i thought the deer were gone, stopped using urine, but for the last two years they come by but dont touch, funny thing with the rabbits they were smart enough to eat only fan leaves, never damaging the branches or tips, they knew how the plant grows, this year very few leaves were missing. The less food they have in the wild the more they look, so early planting is attractive some years, but they eat all day just walking along chewing on stuff they recognise, so physical bariers are key but now my site is all open, i think it is even an itersection of trails. I always thought they dont like the taste of autoflows, just like many humans…oh the ground hog story, i just yelled at the fucker everytime i saw it close to the plant that is close to the house, so i would go running to my plant and keep yelling agressively, then they stopped until i mowed the lawn, they came back because i cut their food source, so the yelling happened a few more times but they stopped, they did fuck up my lower branches and that was just ok to get me pissed but not enough damage to shoot them, they was a couple and baby, imdojtbsee them anymore, maybe afox got em…what am i writing, a novel i guess, i should.

Insect netting not only works for insects, but keeps everybody else out also!

Let’ s go over the first point brought up by frozenb, you can figure out when, or at what daylength, a specific strain will flower, by doing a test run indoors with a clone that will be the same exact one used outdoors. A test like reducing light 2 hours a week… but you still have to chose from something that has the potencial. So a guideline that took me a while to find is this;

Looks for the weather statistics that give you daytime high temperature average per week, the low temps will probably be on the same chart, but first look for the last week that still has an average high of 18°Celcius, that meens some days will be higher and some lower, anyways consider that tha last good week, so then count backwards 8 weeks and that is when you need your 8 week strain to begin flowering. How to get your plant to flower then is your job, always conditionnal to environment and strain specification, and your pot size is an environmental factor.

On the second point by frozenb, i like feel like morning sun is good to lift off the dew and give em a little higher leaf temperature, but i’m just on the 46th paralel, what do i know.

Good growin to you-alls. -Brice
