StonerZN Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi all. So... Seems flowering season is upon us... I take it there isnt much point in planting for OUTDOORS any time soon. Yet I see people talk about winter grows and so on... If I want a winter grow when do I start? And how to stop plants starting to flower to soon?

CreX Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 You kinda need an indoor setup for a winter grow... Or a few autos. So let us know which way you wanna lean and we can give you guidance!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I heard that vegging plants inside and bringing them outside once you want them to flower works, too in winter. But I still need to try that. Edit: @CreX re-reading your suggestion, I see that's what you meant by needing an indoor setup, right?

CreX Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 yea pretty much. if you are doing photos, then you would need an indoor setup to increase the daylight hours. Nothing fancy really... but its gonna cost you, where as you could rather use the moola for decent genetics if its Autos, then you can just leave them outside pretty much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Currently I extend daylight hours for a Deluxe Sugar Cane clone, I got from @SkunkPharm. We aren't yet in winter, but it would obviously start to flower if I wouldn't give it 6 hours extra under a small floodlight. In two weeks I'll stop giving it extra light and let the sun do it's thing. I am curious how that one turns out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvenSteven Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 What happens with photos grown during this time of the year? Wouldn't they just veg a bit and flower real soon and end up the size of an auto? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @EvenSteven yeah pretty much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 How about just getting a light right above the plant outside? No need to bring it in, many flood lights are waterproof, you can mount it easy as pie. put it on a timer. probably will end up having some parts of the plant still pushing pistils early, but will surely keep the plant in veg till you take the light away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @Naughty.Psychonaut, in my case there are other plants in my garden that are well into flower, so that's not an option for me. But generally a light outside would surely work and safe the extra workout of bringing it in and out every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @Fridge I see man, well then let me help kick off the pro's and con's list of the options mentioned by @CreX get photos with the bit of extra physical labour from carrying in and out every day and a possibility of a normal harvest. or get autos, harvest a little less How about @StonerZN you got any other plants outside, or might that option work for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonerZN Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 I actually have an led floodlight outside shining on them every night all night. 2 plants flowering merrily under it... think it may be too far away to do any good.Was hoping for bigger photos as my autos run didnt really yield much (Still have some autos to run and waiting on delivery of some kief Totemic seeds to add to the pile! Looks like I may need to think of a small veg tent or something in the garage to get the growth up a bit. Then take them outside to flower.Thanks a lot for the feedback and comments folks Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 That Deluxe is so much better than any auto will ever be. That clone just needs a bit of size. That plant tripples in size when you switch it to flower. 200% strech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Is planting outdoors now not like flowering from seed? The plant takes a couple of weeks to develop then straight into flower.Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veg inside for 5 weeks then carry them outside to finish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
