I live in the south of Portugal, that's about the same latitude as mid-Cali. If i got some regular feminized seed to sprout in early April when do you reckon they'd be ready? Temps here are a bit cooler than cali since we got the atlantic kinda in the way... but no reasons to worry about frost. I know, or at least i think i know that plants dont recognize it's time to flower entirely as a function of their current light cycle but also due to the shift in frequency of the light that's reaching them and thus should expect their flowering period to start on June 21st (roughly ofc). Would you corroborate to this?? or say its BS and they only start flowering on 12/12 and blah mah blah...?

Would you rather have people read it and give incorrect answers because they may not know the answer to your question? Learn from those who do reply, and compare the posts to each other. As for this forum being shit, perhaps you'll find your answers elsewhere then. You have an attitude problem, and that will lead you to sarcastic answers or no answers at all. Good luck.

obviously i dont know the answer to my question... would be kind of weird of me to ask a question to something I already know (wtf???). and well, i sort of assumed nobody here lived in the south of portugal so that's why i said the climate was similar to that of cali. dude if someones gotta beat it its you, go to kindergarten, learn how to read, and then go fuck yourself.

Alright simpleton, let me explain this easy so you can understand. Your question was answered; flowering starts mid to late August and finishes late October. All those views came and went, because the questions was already answered, smart guy. Then you asked a second question and started throwing a hissy fit when you didn't get an answer to a dumb question.

Answer: No plants won't go herm just because they went outside a month earlier. Also putting them outside doesnt make them flower a month earlier, they will still flower in August and finish in October. Happy?

Sorry but i think you're wrong there, smart guy. if you put the plants too early and they veg too long, when they begin to flower they somehow becomes aware of the fact they aren't capable of completing the flowering process on time - because the plant is too big (just in case you didnt get it) - stressing it too much and eventually going hermy on you.

No, its strain dependent. I have some in the ground now and never had an issue with going hermy?

If i were to plant them in say may, would they go hermie on me?

hell no!! where I'm at its too cold up till about the first of may but it would be wise to start them indoors if you want some big girls. also something that fiinishes early if you got a climate like mine.

With you being the one asking for growing advice on conditions not familiar to you.. what position are you truly in to tell people they're wrong? Whether the plant is 6 inches, or 40ft.. it will complete the flower cycle on time under normal outside conditions based on time of year and the matching light cycle... It will -NOT- add stress. The growing is the plant thriving - shocker, I know.

Why ask the question if you can't accept the feedback he gives you? Smart guy. You don't deserve an answer, find out yourself.

The only problem with putting a plant out too early in a temperate area is that the plant will grow slow and be stunted until the weather picks up.
When the days shorten later in the summer (around July actually) they will initiate flowering. The plants have absolutely NO concept of being too big, or of being Too late to complete flowering. Your attributing human fears to a plant. Plants flower and fruit according to environmental signals which they have adapted for centuries.

On the other hand a slow growing stunted plant seems reason enough to flip sex in an attempt to propagate for next season.
