I got the same thing already gone but it is March after all not like we can start growing until May. But would have been better if we got some heavy snow to make a snow man.

I no it seeing folks down south out west on here ,all ready cranking gets me ansy.i got plenty to do inside till mid may.maybe get lucky thisyear plant mid mayi remember oneyear put out may tenth never looked back.

Looks like old man winter is gonna stick around into early April. Looks like some really chilly air is going to park itself over most of the central and eastern parts of the country dammit. This map represents the % departure from normal highs. Looks beautiful in northwest part of the country though or at least plenty of warmth. .

april can be a tuff month around here,some of the biggest snow storms come in april.that and mud season

Gotta love it.

Hey you guys in the woods are you topping, LST'ing or just putting em out there?

I top 2-3 times before going out ,then1-2 more times once out, once july hits I don't touch them,i run semi autos,mid- late july iam in full bloom

I've decided nothing is going out until may.

I don't trust the night temps for april

I don't put shit out until after May 15 and I'm in mid south, strictly cause I've had issues the past two years with early flowering fucking up my vegging.

Semi-auto?!?! Is this something you bred?

yes something I been working on for a while,some people cant wrap their around semi auto?iam not a name dropper ,but a well know member here does very well withem. in this cool harsh state.

I'm waiting until june 1st this year. I've also matched my indoor light cycle to the same sunrise/sunset times on june 1st. Last year my plants started flowering when I put them out and then had to reveg. I hope that doesn't happen this year..

around here ya got from june 1 - sept 15 to be really safe here on the coast so ya better have strains that finish in that time period

yup I set me lights for17-7.april 1 its hard to wait to june1 some years.if night temp stay above 50 for 7-10 days straight I check weather out look next 7 10 days.i put out may 10 one year an never had frost.its a gamble .but I love to gamble,go early have extra's

It's not so much weather for me as the fact that these heavy indica hybrids seem to need more hours of daylight than early May can provide. It's the same as late July/early August sun angle so that's all you need to know.

You should be able to start sooner that up here smidge,by a couple weeks.maybe you just get longer time in the end now I read it again,lol

If my logic is correct, I would think the days would actually be slightly longer in the northern latitudes from late June, July, August and part of Sept because of the earth's curvature or am I wrong? Like the equator might get up to 13 hours light, 11 dark versus the poles where at the right time of year it's light or dark 24/7.
