As it is my first grow I didn't know they would have such a short veg time. Chalk it up to an almost constant 12/12.
I got sticky fingers.

Yeah its the same here as you guys got there, pretty constant 12/12. If you want a longer veg time you need to supplement with some lights just to extend the daylight hours

Ah yes, gotta get the island strains if you don't want to supplement light. They're around you just gotta know a few people.
I know oahu has a batch of clones and gods gift beans that will veg all the way down to early october and takes the hawaiian sunlight without much stress, not bad for an indica dom. The strain has been around the islands since the 70's and adapted to our hours and environment.

The 2x Bodhi's Ive got going seem like the same as well, Synergy & Buddhas Hand. They are vegging away whilst the hybrids are full on flowering straight away

Hey thats good news for the outdoor short season growers!
I wonder if bodhi and his partners stabilized the beans with short season hours or something, or maybe you just got two special ladies lol

Well I know @rikdabrick runs alot of Bodhi. Could be a deciding factor?

I haven't run a lot of Bodhi's strains, I just run a couple of his strains a lot, ha ha. I do keep up on Bodhi strain info too from here and Instagram. Anyway, you probably got a Lemon Thai leaning pheno on the Buddha's Hand which is most sativa and tropical bred. And on the Synergy maybe you just got some genotypic expression of some tropical sativa from your tropical environment from the Appalachia dad. I don't know, but Appalachia has quite a bit of sativa on the Green Crack side of it. That's where I would guess it would come from anyway; I don't think there's much in the Pine Queen that would bring out something that would be accustomed to tropical hours.

Good info. I figured as much on the Buddhas Hand, and thats why I got it. I dont know much about the Synergy, but I can tell you I like its stature

Putting it under any light source for 1 or 2 hours in the middle of the night will keep it in veg. plus it doesn't cost much at all, any decent light should do. Best way to veg outdoors in hawaii with very minimal electric cost.

This plant was one of three plants vegged outdoor under a 2ft T5 with only 2 bulbs in it(an upgrade from a solar powered led light I had to manually turn on every night lol). It is Head high in a 7 gallon pot. Purple goji X (ogkb X wet dream.)

I read a report on Synergy at breedbay I think and have seen a couple mentions of it from people that grew it out. Apparently it's supposed to be pretty great. What do you have going on in the herm department? I get some nanners sometimes with my Sky Pipe #1 (renamed Andy Irons OG by one of my best patients) and I just keep up on it by cutting them out everyday. It's usually only a couple, if any, when the plant is almost finished flowering, but the ones that were finishing early summer with the daylight hours increasing were throwing out a bunch. I probably had to spend 1.5 hours a day plucking out nanners and I still think it's worth it. Pretty much all the strains I have are great in their own way and that's the one patients ask about regularly when I'm out. Sometimes it's just one of those things you have to put up with with dank genetics. But I don't know if I'd try to keep up if it was throwing out pollen sacks all over the place without a good reason for it.

Nice plant! I like the structure. Have you grown out that cross before? Are you going to keep it in the 7 gallon pot for flowering?This plant was one of three plants vegged outdoor under a 2ft T5 with only 2 bulbs in it(an upgrade from a solar powered led light I had to manually turn on every night lol).
