Spring April is still early to plant IMO. The ground is still cold . I don't put plants out till Mid to late may and Im as south in MI as you can get. The plants will slow growth if the roots get to cool and you will be no further ahead by planting to early. My 2 cents

I should've put it more clearly, I'm in central Ohio, I'm putting them into 3ft back filled holes that is covered w plastic to help soil temps and will also be using makeshift cold-frames to help protect them. As long as the weather breaks soon I shouldn't have worries but I'm restricted to a few weeks indoors and I've already cracked the remainder of my blueberry X Dumpster hybrids. I'm hoping to be ahead this year for sure.

I'm a little further south and like to wait until at least the end of first week in May, but only if forecast is for sun for a while. Otherwise 3rd week in May is usually soonest. I think you're a little early yet,even with the cold-frames.

I am going to crack my seeds any day now and plan to have them outside around the 3rd week of May. One thing about April, is the days are still really short and a lot of strains will begin to flower and then go back to veg in May. If they get enough light, June - Oct is plenty of time to grow some monsters. I'm not sure the risk of them freezing or flowering is worth the extra month of sunlight. If it is you're only option, maybe put some lights out there to give them a couple extra hours of light every night until the days are long enough for them to not to flower.

You want them as big as you can carry before you plant... You will be able to prune and make bushy plants if you vege for 4-5 months prior to planting outdoors. planting 3 foot tall bush around june 1st will make for some massive yields...

There's my girls. They could be healthier. I had some kind of a stress issue that caused some lower leaves to die off.
They seem to be snapping out of it now.

Hey jerry. I've got a couple Iranian autos that are mutants with twisted bent leaves. Have you had any do that and did they eventually come around?
I'm thinking about throwing them out because there taking up space

Last year when we started our iranian autos, there was one seedling that was much more vigorous than the other. The other plant was a little slower growing, but when we put it outside it flowered and had the most beautiful pink pistils and it had more dense buds than the other more vigorous one. the slower growing plant was easier to trim and the buds had more bag appeal. I think the more vigorous Mother plant ended up yeilding 13 ounces with a coupe oz lost to budrot and the slower growing one was around 10 ounces.

Smell/flavor and effect wise, they were both pretty similar.

I called the hydro store to order some AN heavy harvest and they said its discontinued. I ended up finding some online but that might not last long.
