I’ve only grown autos and am legally allowed to have 12 plants. One of mine died (user error, not genetics) and I have a coworker who offered me a clone of one of her photos. All my plants are now outside in the ground and I am not set up at all for an indoor grow. Everything I know about photos is from what I’ve read here so I know flower is triggered by light cycle.
If I decide to take her up on her offer, can I take the clone and put it in the ground now and get a small harvest before it gets too cold here in New England? I’m thinking it will be ok if I just let it run it’s course naturally on mother nature’s time table but wanted some input to be sure. I’m kind of intimidated by the thought of growing a photo and thought this would be an opportunity to see how it differs from an auto. Oh and I almost forgot she does hydro not dirt so will that matter? What do you think?
I would say go for it. Being a clone they tend to grow quicker if I’m not mistaken. It’s worth a shot. Still got a few months for Veg before it changes over, I would think it would start to flower at the end of August. I’m. It positive in that though.
My “buddy” offered me three clones of cotton candy which he stated was known to finish up nicely outdoors in our northern climate. I have not been able to get any info since May 25 when he told me another week or so they would be ready.
Point is, I have two seedlings I germinated in a panic and was going to give them to him to grow inside (all of these are photosensitive strains). I just sent him a text that my two seedlings are going in the ground outdoor this afternoon if I don’t hear from him.
It’s a tad late (should have been in two weeks ago) but bothstrains have a 55-60 day flowering period because I selected them for possible outdoor planting (then ended up going major indoor set up). They may not be perfect and I may be rigging a tarp over them come mid september but my guess is they will flower.
