Daylight hours and questions

currently growing were the hours of daylight I'm
Assuming is sunrise to sunset on everytbing I've found is right now 13.3 hours of daylight peeks out for the year at 14.5 ish now that's sunrise to sunset , but u always have a hour or half more before and after is this sunrise and sunset enough time to not induce flowering , and with the added daylight before sun up and and sun down help with that ... My plants r 6 7 weeks old been
Inside in a tent finally got the conditions right weather temp and light times better . Figured there better off in that perfect tent then
Dealing with outdoor life ... Temps r 74 to 80 daytime and 58 ish at night , April 14 the the first time of over 13 hours I light and 12 less hours of darkness ...

Here a lot of talk bout 15 hours of light 18 hours of light outdoors .. This isn't were i live

I do In fact have a amber street light in my yard which were I live I have no neighbors , within a mile in middle of a field so if this would in turn help with that I can turn it back on I had it shut off for a while due to some personal issues ...


So any info
Turn that light back on or not - that light were 6 of the 9 will be in my garden so Max of 50 feet away from that street light
13 hours of light slowing increasing to 14.5 enough

The reason I say before sunrise and after sunset time is bc everyone talk bout 12 hours of compelte darkness so 13 hours of light will two roughly hours before and after would make around 15 plus hours surely 3 hours of difference shouldn't effect to much . Like a idiot I didn't lower the light in the room gradually , bc the fields got planted and sprayed and starting these autos for a trial run ... They have been set out side on and off for a week thou to kinda get used to outdoor life just started the whole outdoor full time thing

Weed like people come in lots of varieties. Some strains will go long without flowering with just 12 hrs of light. Then there are some the minute they even get close to twelve they start to flower. Just depends on their native environment.

Ah didn't read close enough I see now you said "autos" I only have experience with 1 of them if I recall just planted it left it alone and it just did its own thing. Wish I still had a picture of that. I planted it next to a Hawaiian Snow just before we cut the Snow in late October I took a picture with my phone. Planted same time so here's this 15 ft plant standing next to this 12 inch auto was funny as hell. To be fair the auto was done late June early July but I just left it thru the season and didn't harvest it.

Sorry I didn't explain , 9 I have outside r photo, the ones I'm
Starting inside will
Be autos , the photos outside r 6 weeks , king tut , super cheese , super silver ,
I'm more concerned bout the hours of daylight before and after sunset if this is enough like to count .. Think they call it mayb nautical something idk it's scientific .. It shows on weather underground sunrise to sunset times r 13.8 hours and that nautical light is 15 hours nearly ... Also if next question was if I put them near
That hps street light I assume
That's what it is will it have a positive effect to not trigger flowering , it would be within 50
To 60 feet ,

I read in one of my grow books that any light can stop flowering but not sure just how cut and dry that is since not all light is equal.
How much the street light would help at 50 / 60 feet, the top of the plant may react to that but the lower down the plant you go I suspect would be a crap shoot.

Yea , everytbing Ive read said less hen 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness will not trigger flowering . So that being said that street light I got in my yard which lights my garden up pretty game well should give a lil help I no it ain't gonna make it grow but least keep em from flowering so quick ...

I kind of split the difference between length of day, and length of visible light when I'm figuring when it's safe to go out and play. I've heard anything more than 10 1/2 hours of darkness will toggle the flower switch. And when I started in February, I found out it was true. I topped most of my early flower problem, and the deer got the rest, so I'm good to go now.

I would put out a couple of them and see what happens. If all is cool, put the rest of them out.

I grew a few out for my ol man early in the year , ran out of room in my space when I got mine goin and my indoor crop rolling , we'll he put his outside like way early they all got big buds on em .. I put my crop out April 20 so there 2 weeks outside now and they have not budded so think I may be in good shape , I was just curious to what others did

Here is a pic of the ones that budded at my ol mans house .. Should he pick the bud off or leave it ????

If he can light dep it it will go ahead and finish. Or else it will go back into veg. I've never had one that far along, but they say they look funky when they start growing again. Yield and possibly potency will be affected.

Well he ain't one to worry bout all that he just likes to smoke which makes no sense if u grow something u should grow it the best u can ... That's why I waited cause I take pride in what I do and all that but I'm like you I've never had one that far along either ,, I've forced flowered before to find sex early with lil to no bad effects but actually puttin it in a flowering state I Dnt no

Havvin the same issue with my girls. Some people told me to shrug my shoulders and not worry about it since the days are getting longer here. Id be dissapointed if al doesnt go as planned

Mine have been outside since 4/19 there 6 weeks old then and here they are not even budding just growin like hell .. All mine are over 2 feet tall I do wish I woulda dropped em down from 18:6 to 17:7 16:8 just to work em into it but I had cloned in the tent and was wanting them to stay on 18/6 so I chanced it ... I got my fingers crossed too , if worse comes to worst I got 10 autos ru min and some clones so I got back up but these ladies are beautiful them super silvers I got good lord . The tuts r just explosive , even her clones r like crazy growing . The cheese is a straight bush 30 inchs but big around as a 55 gal drum loving life login the FFOF , general hydroponics food early now got them on fox farm marine crusine ,

Well a few of my ladies are starting to bud slightly , still growing good and what not hope it's not that bad I waited as long as possible ...
