Appreciate you commenting on here first reply I got made me think no one would talk to me haha. Not being a "Good OLE Boy".
I was in San Diego for a long time. Then up in New England so I'm all over the place. So if your light cycle is identical to San Fran does that mean harvest time is the same here as central/Nor Cal? Cause I've been wondering when I'll be harvesting? But don't really know anyone around where I live to ask unfortunately. I Was kinda hoping it be earlier out here. I've noticed definately a lot more rain then I've delt with in past grows. Any tips for dealing with the humidity and rain. And any info on growing in this part of country is live to hear it. I know my terrain is different then yours but I figure were still in same area. So far my girls are doing good loving the sunny days we been having and the heat hasn't been affecting them. I do like not having to water as often due to rain but it has been messing up my feeding schedule as far as nutrients go. Next year I'm gonna work on getting everything I need into my soil. Make a super soil this year I just used some fox farms O forest and some old pro mix I came across.
I live in South Eastern Ky, done small grows for 6 years now outdoors (about 5 plants each year) and if I start them early (within first 2 weeks of March if its warm enough) I usually harvest around the last week of September, or the first week of October. Sometimes a week or two later than that. Theres usually no way they make it to November tho. && The light cycle, the light usally begins decreasing around July 21st.
This year, I had everything perfect up until a month ago.. Had 4 unknown purp seedlings and 4 Afghans in the ground about 1.5 ft tall & really healthy looking plants. Was pumped af, until a huge hail storm hit and 2 straight weeks of rain, and it damaged every one of them. Lost 2 purps and 1 Afghan. The other 5 all lost crucial fan leaves.. and 2 even topped themselves. But it stunted all of the growth up until the last week or so, with the sun being out. Theyve grown 2 ft in the last week alone. So hopefully theyve pulled thru it without being stressed enough to turn them into males. Moral of the story being: Kentucky weather is extremely unpredictable. Try to baby your plants close to home for the first month or so to keep them from recieving above said damage. Atleast until mid to late April.
Hope this was helpful and good luck on everyones grows! Also, seen another guy post about thieves.. He isnt lying, keep your plants as secret as possible.
