so if you grow at least ten grams you’re fine

No I have a different plan. I have no choice but to do outdoors and this is only the second attempt. First im actually going out of my way to try doing good. First was middle of winter and the plant has been outside the entire time except at night a while. A blueberry auto I do only expect ten grams or so. This time I have ak 47 auto and 3 think different autos I planned out a lot better and will see what happens. I also got a photo period blueberry seed today I plan to clone that's a female. Im also ordering a few other photos not sure what type yet but the blubbery was a photo. I am pretty good at outdoors and im just going to see what happens.

When I say pretty good outdoors im not saying autos as I said second and third attempts but I have played with photos for years and do pretty good but this is the first year I have ordered seed.I always got them from my grandfather and other older family members back in the day that were really good seeds for me.

They will flower when given 12/12 lighting or in this case anything less than 13 apparently. I always put mum seedlings out in April, for a few hours to harden them and then may they go out for good.

You'll be good

The 12/12 is more of a general rule for a light schedule indoors. Outdoors most strains have already been flowering for 4-6 weeks by the time the days are 12/12.

I'm of the opinion that many people in this thread are quite lucky.
Location and planting date are going to have a lot to do with the outcome.
I've always found that more mature plants are more sensitive to time changes. So if you have really mature plants that go from 24/0 to 14/10, the chances they start into flower are much greater than a young plant that only has a handful of nodes.

Those younger plants basically haven't hit puberty yet and even though they're capable of reproducing that's not what they to do.

Yeah, I agree. It's not a problem with young plants. I was more trying to point out that the blanket advice that light schedule isn't a concern is bad advice. It does not apply across the board.

Also clones can have same reaction. Which makes sense because in theory the clone is the age of the mother plant. Admittedly, it doesnt seem to happen often with newly rooted clones but it does happen on occasion.

I'm only speaking to what I have seen in regards to this.

I've definitely had it happen.

Well here the days are just getting to 13.5 and we'll get 12/12 around nov.

They are worried about their plants the veg after being grown indoors on 20/4 for a month or two, because they are at maturity to show sec and start to flower if they get a dramatic light drop.

I get all of that. I was saying that plants outdoors start flowering long before the days are anywhere near 12/12.
