Hey what's up fellow Michiganders I got a question I'm pretty new at growing in general and brand new at out door growing. I built me a Lil green house this yr and induced flowering by covering up to try to take advantage of the free lights lol so around aug 15 I should be done with that run so my question is, will that be enough time to let nature run it's course and still get proper flowering time out a second batch or is it to late? These are pre vedged btw...

In order for youe second wave to make it you must get then flowering today.. Truth be known I am about 5 days away from white heads everywhere on many of my plants. If you do not get then out very soon you will have no second harvest of worth. You do not have time to try to get them to flower if you attempt trying to start flowering on AUG15th... It takes about 2 weeks to get em flowering so by the end of AUG begining of sept they would begin to really flower.

I believe that you have a 50% chance of pulling it off.... But you must move now, and get your 2nd batch starting the flowering process today or you will be left with a percentage of 0% before long.

Ok hic 1 more thought... What if I induce them the 1st 2 weeks? That would be 2 weeks on aug 29th and oct 10 they will have been out 8 weeks? Is it a possibility that will work?

Anything is possible my1stgrow, whatever you plan to do you must have the plants in before the cold weather kills them. Each year is a little diffrent in terms of weather but around oct 20th there are not too many more days left to live here in MI.

Now I do not know your plans to induce flowering but on another token you will have to get your plant used to the sun or you will freak it right out and the leaves will tell you that story if that happens. Give us a cunt hair more detail 1stgrow.

To answer you question - oct 10th is a good date.

Well my 1st round I veged indoors for about a month then set them out to bloom in a home made green house, then every night I cover it up with a black tarp and obviously uncover it in the morning. I'm at about 6 1/12 wks with that right now and things are going pretty good. Things is I got a late start on my clones for the 2nd round so I really need at least another 2 wks of veg to get a worth while grow. I'm learning growing naturally outdoors is more 9-10 wk blooming faze versus the indoor 8 wks (give or take) so I'm wondering now if I set them out on the 15th, induce them for the 1st 2 weeks to kinda speed them up so they can catch up with natural grows would that final 6 wks give me the 12/12 I need to finish flowering properly b4 the cold hits?

Leaving your clones indoor and flowering them is not an option eh? If you are going to induce with 12 hours light you may wanna continue that process for a month.I would hate to see you have your plants flowering and them you give them more hours of light and your plants will be in limbo for a week. You do not wanna waste a week, although your plan has promise.

Yeah I haven't gotten my indoor bloom room set back up yet I was really banking on being able to get this next 1 outdoors... So your saying instead of inducing it for 2 weeks I'd better go 4 to be safe with natures sun rise and sunset times?

Michiganders! Has any of you boys stored pollen before??? I am afraid I must deal with heri now and the ladies will not be ready for him for another 2 to 3 weeks.

I need all the info you guys got. I have never done it before and it sounds like a piece of cake. I wanna hear what the boys have to say. Do I even need to freeze it if I will be using it up in just a few weeks tops? I am led to believe that pollen does not last very long if not froze.

Everytime I make seeds the males are ready when the females are ya know, I got alot riding on this pollen so there is no room for the slightest amount of error on my part.
