The flowers will probably not impress at the end but it will be free smoke and no electric bill. So i will throw numbers at it to get more smoke.

Yes they will do something I can see my cola's forming now. I just came in the house. It may take a while and they will be scrawny.
Howdy...My ADD wont allow me to read the whole thread but...I did read the first pg and want to see if I gots it.

You started some babies in Jan, with 24 hr light. Now as you transplant them in Feb you are using the natrual 12/12 and tricking the plant into flowering. Smaller yield but....early dope while you wait for the summer ladies to do their thing.
If that is it it sound pretty sweet. I to started some babies In Jan but I just have them on a 18 light (just cfls) inside and I bring them out in the sun during good days. Do I have to have them on 24 light to trick them?

Thx

No if you leave them out they should go into flower. The key is will they finish before trying to revert back. You have the principal down though that is what I did. Good Luck

I put out some more, and the one tester Ive had out 1.5 months that never flowered really. Potted them all up in a 10 gallon. Theyre about 10 inches tall. Im covering them at night and uncovering in morning with a trash can. A few are ratty looking. I think theyll start looking better soon. The white widow I had out I think didnt like the cold, it wont green up. The La confidential didnt seem to want to be stuck in its small pot so long. Ive also got a Super Skunk, a and an Orange Crush. Hopefully the barrel keeps em warmer at night and the days will warm again. Had about 2 inches of rain this am. Mostly when they were covered luckily.

Can I stay in the spring flowering club even tho Im cheating? I was gonna try it your way but they just wont flower. We have a street light out front and the light from the windows I think fucked em up. After a week of covering I can see the difference in the Widow.

The plants are looking good look like they will be okay. We will see if the budsite put weight on by the end of the month. Pics coming soon.

With my covering and uncovering theyre flowering like Id like and growing nice. I crammed another plant in there yesterday, She was lagging behind and wasnt ready when I put these in. Ive got so many plants in this bush, and theyre topped! Im gonna make sort of a trellis to keep them contained, since I cover with a trash can at night I cant have them branching over the bucket at all or I will smash and bend em. The other problem is the humidity in that cover at night. Gonna havta keep em dry latter part of flowering, especially as dense as they are. Hopefully we dont get tons of overcast damp spring weather. I shoulda got a closer pic to show the flower development.
