Flowering with 14 hours light?

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Outdoors' started by MrHash420, May 20, 2022.

  1. It looks to me as I'm starting the first week of flower but I've had 14 hours of daylight since they've been put outside however we've had a few storms I'm worried about them trying to reveg in the next coming weeks as days get longer I've come here to see what yall think, thought about reveging? Quality of finished product after reveging? Why are we starting flower with 14 hours of daylight maybe the storms? Any suggestions on light deprevation without a greenhouse/hoop?

    Thanks in advance any advice greatly appreciated! Hope everyone's having a stoney day/night! Happy growing! 20220519_195835.jpg 20220519_195850.jpg 20220519_195829.jpg

  2. 14.5 hrs of light is the trigger point, anything less and your plants will flower.

  3. Some general rules I've learned along the way.
    As Puff said 14.5 is the trigger point. At 14 they flower. At 15 they veg.
    For most of the northern hemisphere this means only June and July have enough hours of light per day to veg.
    Seeds are not light aware for the first 3-4 weeks and can be direct started outside as early as May 1st.

    For starting inside and transitioning to outside.
    Plants should be started as close to the trigger point as possible. 15-9 or 16-8. Any higher will trigger flower at setout as the length of day change is to great. You can add day hours with no effects. Reducing them triggers flower sure as anything.

    Reveg sucks in general. By the time it actually changes back to veg most of the summer is over and she no more then gets vegging when Aug 1st rolls around and she is back in flower.

    The other option is to keep them under lights until early Aug. This is the method I use as I run a 24-0 light cycle.

    A few 23 watt CFLs keep them awake from setout June1st until Aug1st when I turn off the lights and let them flower.

  4. I flowered with 14hrs lights on indoors. It works good.
     
  5. The trigger point must vary simetimes because some plants are more autoflower than others.
     
  6. This has happened to me. In my case I couldn't stop them revegging and it was a disaster. I thought I'd let them reveg and then they'd flower again when light hours got fewer. No! I got hardly any bud, it was as if the plants got completely messed up, just turned into a pile of rubbish.

  7. when did you first put them outside and where are you located?
     
  8. About 150 Km south of the US border. They were greenhouse plants, I started them at the wrong time. It is a constant concern, I plant early varieties for the first crop now.
