Early may and you don't want monsters? I planted mine in the second week of December which is equivalent to June up there. The plants are just starting to flower at 6 ft now, most likely end up being 10ft+.

Hmm, good point. Maybe early-mid June would be better...I haven't quite figured this out yet.

And you live in Cali? you guys get a ridiculous amount of sun hours per year too. I'd say late may for indica and early to mid june for the sativas.

some aussie guy at IC planted his Malawis in April(october) and harvested by the end of july(december) ending up between 1.5-2m tall.

While my Malawi is very similar in structure to yours, the fan leaves are a bit wider. I am too far north to run it outdoors, and it did take a full 3 weeks to show. And as you can see, it isn't very far along after a month flower when compared to the indica. Love the Malawi smell, like the best Christmas tree you can imagine...minty/pine.

First pic is for TWS, a new addition...G13Xskunk.

Cheers!

Thanks for advice. I'd rather err on the side of smaller plants than end up with more than I can handle again. Now I just need to decide on what I want to grow...hmm, choices choices.

That's what im doing . I only need like a month of Veg.

Thanks Fumble and everyone else. sucks without likes but Im reading everyone's post.

Ace seeds & Cannabiogen

If you like preserved genetics. they have some nice hashplants if you want to keep things on the smaller side although Taskenti is a monsterous Uzbeki hashplant.
Panama is amazing too, it has a 1974 line in it.

I read a few years ago that if you take two clones from the same mama and planted one in late April and one closer to the mid June summer solstice, the latter would be smaller, naturally, but finish earlier than the April planted one. It had to do with the early one going into full veg while the days were increasing in length, verse entering full veg as the days are constant in length and declining. I found some local strains I grew out a couple years ago that did seem to finish a couple or three weeks earlier, when I planted them late. I did it to keep them small and stealthy to be honest and the earlier flower time was a by product. Maybe.

Totally agree with Smidge, Malawis have only been out since 9th of december and they're flowering now which is extremely early for pure sativas.

My dad has put afghani clones out in january still ending up 8 foot getting 4 1/2 lbs from 4 plants, not bad for a late season grow.

first case of spider mites for the year. sprayed pyganics will report on its effectiveness.

Let me know what you end up doing. I am trying to decide if I want to pass on outdoors this season or just so out super late so I don't have to worry about Vegging. I can veg indoors this season if I want but they have to finish outside.

Hey Angry...what's up?

Never thought about it like that .....they will be monsters

No more off-site grows for me, using the yard to veg this summer then finishing indoors.

I got a head start, been struggling w/training Malawi as you can see...but cloned them already. The first pic is actually 2 generations beyond last summer's wetland grow...same kush.

Hope everyone has been well.

Winter? What the hell is that?

I'm in the middle of the remnants of a fucking ice storm here with everything outside looking like the inside of a deep freeze, ha ha ha. It's pretty AF, but this polar vortex BS rolling in means single digits by daylight both of the next two mornings. Sick of this shit.

single digits by daylight ahhhhhhhh. I have purposefully moved away from snow but I still get some hearty frosts in the morning but thats enough for me

My Freebies popped overnight, I just had to get some green growing
