Can you grow with the moth netting and use shade cloth to combat the high temps?
Oh and message me, i;;
Thats possible but i dont want to grow huge monsters.
Neighbors are cool but you never know.
Its still illegal here.
I think winter would be the best time to get in an ok harvest outdoors in this area
You grow inside as well? Personally I enjoy having a inside grow just for the environment it creates.

Heres the 3 blackout bobbys that made it, they’re about a month old.
Had them in solo cups, just transplanted 2 days ago, i rarely water them and they receive 4or 5 hours of sunlight a day so pretty neglected.
I built the frame with the netting too but its a little big for them so ill just keep them out in the open.
Ill keep updating once in a while.

So what's the purpose. Our the benefit?
Some times if your pots too filled and you have a seedling stretch or fall over you can use that cut out cup to be able to add some more soil, or clay pebbles to help them stand up.
I only have them there because they stretched on the misses when I left town, they got lanky as seedlings in solo cups so i did that to keep them upright.
Then when I transplated them I just left them there.
They are by no means needed though, they just help the water go down insted of spilling out the sides if too full and incase they get knocked over help straighten them up.

i was about to say transplant deeper and use twigs as support braces. but i mean to each there own.
 
I threw 2 Grandaddy perp seeds into a pot of soil in January, and I tossed a goji runs seed into the soil in December. how long until my plants are flowering ? And if they are feminized seeds would spring and the days after be enough to make them bud or will the plant keep growing with no bud ? “All outside”

It depends on the longitude of where your growing, the further south you are the more sunlight you get, or example were im at i get a little more than an hour of sunlight per day than Chicago, and the latitude is pretty close. So then they ill have too many hours of light to flower sooner then some place like chicago

Only June and July really have long enough days to hold Cannabis in Veg. I grow outside year round in Southern California where it never freezes.
Plants set out now will flower. You have to keep lights over them to stay in Veg.

Aug 1st = Take Clones
Oct 15th = Harvest, Set out veg plants, Take clones off same.
Jan 1st = Same
March 15th = Same
June 1st = Harvest, Set out Veg plants.
(June -July) peak summer veg light.

I have plants over here in flower that will finish March 15th.
I have clones over there under lights until Mid March then that set will flower for a June 1st harvest.
Over and Over for the last 10 years and 4 harvest per year all outside.
10 weeks in flower gives me 10 weeks to concurrently veg in. 3 weeks to get good rooted clones leaves me 7 weeks to veg them as big as I can before it is time again to set them out.

Flower. Just 30 feet separate them. This set will be harvested March 15th.

How do you harvest in march when from now until march, the days are getting longer meaning more sun which means they should start re-vegging?

At best on June 21st Los Angeles gets 14.5 hours of daylight. Add some early and late twilight and you still only have 15.5 or maybe 16. Local experience over the last 10 years is what I offer you. What does and what does not work.
Winter plants do fine as the days get longer as we haven't passed the 14.5 threshold between Veg and Flower.
Cannabis flips at 14.5. At 15 it is in Veg. At 14 it Flowers. The June 1st Harvest is the one that can get sketchy if your growing a long running Sativa. By mid June at this Latitude (33) things are in re-veg and your flowers will explode with foxtails if run to long.
So besides the Oct 15th harvest i get
Jan 1st
March 15th
June 1st.
10 years I've been running this exact cycle with excellent results. Off season set sizes are only limited by Veg size. Quality is the same at 10 weeks no matter the time of year. With a 10 week flower window I have that same 10 weeks to take Clones, Root them (3weeks) and that leaves 7 weeks to get them as big as I can for setout.
In actual practice only June and July have Veg length days. The entire rest of the year outside is Flower light hours. Simple as that. I'm at Latitude 33 and the further north you get the more things change. It works here.
