It has been outdoor the entire time of flower except for the few nights it bot below 42. Before that, it was inside at night and out in the day. I am in the states. The light schedule now is exactly 12/12 so it is perfect until it finishes.:joint: The lows are in the mid fifties so it isn't optimal, but it is doing just fine.:peace:

Yeah, this is bag seed at it's worst: from mexi-brick feather crap that was all sticks and stones. An ounce probably had about a quarter of smokable and a half of seeds and another quarter of stems. But grown with love, marijuana is marijuana. Obviously it is sativa dominant of not entirely. I topped it at the 8 node or so, so I am sure that it would have been much bigger if I let it go. Also, it started out in pretty ghetto conditions so the fact that it is a healthy and productive as it is now, I am stoked.

Looks pretty nice for some Mexi-"brick dance" herb... =]

Some pretty nice plans come from unknown genetics "bag seed" but this is the 1st i have seen mexi/dirt weed seed grown in to a nice plant... Interested to see what kind of product you get from that... =]

Those look big. Could you get pics that show the whole plant so we can get an idea of how big it is. It looks really healty and taken care of. How do you get the light to be 12 and 12 right now? Doesn't it have to be pitch black dark for 12 hours a day for it to flower right?

Here you go. I topped it, so it would have been a lot taller, but I like all the side branches and I wanted to keep it short. Actually, I wish I topped it sooner, as it is taller than the plants i try to hide it in, but I am pleased with the results.:peace:

Sorry, forgot to answer the other question. Like I mentioned earlier, the light cycle where I am at just turned to 12/12 a few days ago, so it is getting a few more minutes than 12 of sun and in it's early flowering life, it got a few minutes less than 12. When it was vegging, I would put it inside under a bunch of CFL's to help it along. As far at the total darkness, it isn't totally dark. There is some landscape lighting around, although I turned off the ones right next to the plant, and light from inside the house falls somewhat on the plant but nothing more than a bright full moon. Actually we had a full mood a few nights ago and I walked out to check on the plant and looked around for awhile to figure out where all that light was coming from until I looked up. My plant was being followed by a Moon Shadow!
Nothing fancy though. As far as health, I am totally sold on Botanicare's line of goodies. I used their PureBlend pro soil veg and bloom, and a few weeks into flower I read about their CalMag+ and Sweet, so started using that too. I also use their Clearex. I followed their directions perfectly and it wasn't until the very end of flower (I haven't given them nutes for at elast a week now) the leaves were twisting just a bit, as can be seen still in some of the pictures. But other than that, that shit has worked great for me. A few times since I started the flush, I have used Sweet as well to help the plant use its stored nutes. Don't know if that is working but it makes sense in my head!

I thought you said you were in the states? The United States right? I didn't know that the lighting was 12/12 outside in this hemisphere. I always thought that it was 12 and 12 durning the fall months and that is why harvest is always at the end of fall. I don't know, you obviously have a bunch of danky nuggets though. Great job!

There are two times of 12/12 One in the spring from when the days are short and transition to long, and again in the fall when days are shortening. If the temps are warm enough and you can supplement lighting on really short days like in December and January, than you can get two outdoor crops.:peace:
