I've found anytime I tried putting plants outdoors in April in KY they wound up going into flower. Late April hours of daylight are same as late August and that equals flowering almost every single time. Glad it's working out for you though.

make a bed outdoors with seeds and that will stop that problem.Also you will have a longer veg time and get twice the buds.ky

A hybrid plant that buds outdoors at my latitude by late July -- all mine do/are -- will most assuredly be flowering outdoors here in April. It isn't about a seed bed, it's just how the photo period and cannabis work. Now, if you start from seed outdoors you can put them out a little earlier than if you start indoors under extra light then put them outside all at once in a shorter photoperiod than you were using indoors, I understand that, but not really what I'm talking about. This is my experience on my end of the state.

Went to water my girls today I have them fences in with 1 inch square plastic fencing and there was a 4-5ft black snake that had tried to come into my patch but got all caught up in the tiny squares then had either suffocated or or got cooked by the sun stuck in the fencing. Gotta love kentucky haha also been seeing turtles out by where I have them which is pretty far from a water source. Never dealt with either reptile during a grow before. Wishing now that I had thought to take a pic

Its almost too late to put them out. Its hitting a 100 here everyday. You could do some autos or photos. Don't expect either to get really big. They will start flowering here sometime between late July to mid August in KY.

I'm goring some autos for first time ever and 2 weeks into flower they are way larger then I thought they would ever get 4ft maybe little more and really dense lots of branches close together. They are J Herrer strain. My 2 cents

Lol.

I've seen 16-20 foot plants here that five or six of us couldn't hold hands around it.

I started some early. They are already about 5-6 foot. That's topped. They will be big.

One started flowering and went back to veg. That one will be a monster.

When is early for ya. I've seen people saying they have plants that started flowering prematurely I haven't had that happen to me. This is my first season in the state. I started my regular girls in late math outside and haven't had any issues like that thankfully. Nice pic are those autos or Regular? Weathers been hot not hit 100 here yet and I hope it doesn't oday was 93 and humid as fuck that's bad enough haha. I have a DWC setup going and I'm having hell of time keeping it cool enough inside the tent especially my water temps my cheap ass is using frozen Gatorade bottles to get through hottest part of day. Works though

Highly Toxic. There's no way I'd go anywhere near that product.

I'm normally with you. I smoke and grow organic.

A little seven dust in early veg won't hurt a thing.

That's just the thing about guerilla growing. Organic pesticides don't work out in the bush. You got to be able to reapply every few days for organic.

Out of the non organic choices seven dust is approved for food crops. It is safer than most synthetic poisons.

Again though I only use one application early veg. I would definitely not use it in flower.

The reality is unless you grow your own you are probably smoking worse things than seven dust.

I was about ready to give growing in the bush up. Its a lot of work.

Had a buddy that wanted to learn how to do it. I'm doing this with him to show him how to go about doing it.

You got to go check your spot spring, summer, and fall to see what the sun is like. Dig holes and pack amendments.
