Any one know a good site to find out when the 12/12 cycle begins in illinois? They were started in late April early MAy if that helps... Thanks!

Any one know what a 5-6ft plant with many many branches would yield as well?

Thanks!!

some almanacs will show you the day lengths. I use this weather website called wunderground.com. type in your location, enter a date under the astronomy/almanac section and you can view the length of day for that date. Man a six foot plant could vary a great deal in yield depending on genetics and health and all kinds of stuff, anywhere from like 3 or 4 ounces to 1+ pounds with right genetics/conditions.

that what i thought first time i grew and then when the light hit about 13-14 hours they started to bud a little early and so budding start like beginning to mid august so in a month.then flowering goes for 2-2 and a half months...as for yeild depends how good u r......if u mound the bottom of the stalk every week with more dirt filled with organic fertilizer u get a monster and can yield a pound reasonably....if you put the seed in crappy dirt it was a bagseed and you use crappy ace chemical ferts. then you get 4 oz or so....

I have a freak of nature plant in prairie soil (UNBELIEVABLE fertility) that I put in late April after our last frost and it's already budding.

2 plants going.

One is Raspberry Kush (2 ft tall and beautifully crystally), the other Big Bud (kept at 1 ft tall, BUSHY with many main-stem branches).

Illinois can grow amazing bud up by the lake. I love our climate.

This year's been tough though weather-wise due to El Nino, but if you put a resilient strand here, it will bloom like no other.
