Flowering Period

Curious to know from outdoor growers experiences. What is the longest anybody has waited from the time their plants showed female white hairs until their buds had developed and where ready to pick. My plants which I have grown very late into the season here in Australia have been producing white female hairs now for nearly a month and I'm wondering what time frame I can expect until I have some bud. The plants are very short hence growing late in the season. I started them just for the hell of it about the start of February this year,when normally one would have done so about end of September last year. Interested to hear peoples outdoor time frame experiences. Peace peoples.

All Grown from bag seed and the majority of them would be probably from indoor variety's . Guess I will just have to wait and see.

Dude I am from South Australia and they are definitely indica judging by their leaves. I'm just surprised that they are taking as long as they have to flower and develop. They are about 3 to 4 weeks into flowering so I guess I have a while to go yet as at this stage they are still pistils, but lots of them. I haven't done a grow for about 14 years it's been a long time. By the way nice avatar pic. If thats yours and your getting them to grow that big,I will take all the advice your willing to give. I have been using fish emulsion to fertilize during growth. Can you recommend something now that they are flowering? Much appreciated. Peace.

Im in the mid west and am wondering about doing some out doors out of season ... putting them out after vegging them for 3 weeks inside ... stays pretty warm here throughout and I dont think humidity will be a problem what do you guys think?

I think you will get better results if you don't dredge up ten year old threads. . . . . . . .

But if you are in midwest, usa, you will be running into re-veg issues before they are done. You can pull tarps over them everyday to keep them in flower, but that a lot of work.
