How am I looking?

My most vigorous plant tried to go into flower. Guess she didn't care it was 14 hours of light, but the sun has persuaded her to wait. First time I've had this happen so I'll take it as a learning lesson about re-veg. I am curious to see how she finishes, cause she still chugging along with the rest.

Got to my most remote spot today, and had to put the chop on two like this. They decided to grow balls. I'm a little sad about these. They had perfect structure, thick stalks, and smelled like blueberry pie.

What kind of hours did you have her on before going outside? And is it a seed or clone. Often clones are vegged 24/0, and you need to bring them back from the ledge before taking that big jump outdoors.

I hit the woods at dawn to give the girls a quick feeding, because the forecast called for rain all day. Halfway through, and the clouds disappeared. Check the forecast, and it had changed to no rain. So I backtracked, and got them all watered. With tomorrow being the last day of peak sun, the push will start.

What do you mean by tomorrow being the last day of peak sun?

In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day of the year occurs on the summer solstice (when the northern pole of earth's axis is tilted toward the sun). The sun is in the highest position in the sky as seen from the North Pole. This occurs between June 20 and 22 each year.

The days have actually already started to descend you just can't really notice it yet.

This year the Solstice was June 21st. Which was 4 days ago.

I thought you might have been talking about the start of summer. The Length of Day is the same on June 21 and 22, {as well as December 21 and 22} thus the name Solstice, from the Latin for sun stands still. Each day after that is a little shorter, with the rate of reduction increasing as we go on into summer. Where I'm at my LoD is 14 hours 7 minutes, with tomorrow being 13 seconds shorter. The amount of decrease will increase until it's close to 2 minutes a day for me heading into winter. The further away from the equator, the bigger the daily change will be.

We are a week into summer {past peak sun}, but your plants will have plenty. Like you say, it's so gradual we wouldn't notice it on a day to day basis. They will keep on keeping on until the nights get long enough to trigger flowering in your strains.

IMG_8953.JPG Largest plant by far. That's a five gallon jug. It's over seven feet, and gets the same care as the rest. Think I'm gonna take a few clones of it. Never grown one this large. What do y'all think it may yield?
