Welcome to the forum! Nice looking plants. I’d let them finish outside at this point. Probably be a long while until they are done.
If you’re going to put them in the dark to try and flower early I hope you’ve got enough space. They look fairly large already and with the stretch I would plan on them being very tall. Moving plants that size in/out would be a chore.
I may have missed something. Are you growing these outside or indoors?
You are correct that they won’t start flowering until the light fades and they have enough dark time. However, I was thinking that it would be difficult to move plants of that size in and out twice a day.
You could put them inside in the early evening and then back outside in the morning to keep the light schedule 12/12. Depends on how much moving you want to do and if you have a tall enough space for them to stretch and flower in.
I’d leave them outside but they likely won’t finish for a couple more months.
That’s mostly true. Some photoperiod plants will flower on a 13/11 schedule. In my area (42⁰N latitude) outdoor plants start to flower mid August. I don’t move outdoor plants inside any more, or even visit my indoor plants when I come in from outside, because of the risk of bringing in spider mites, thrips, or other pests.
That’s my vote. They may get pretty big vegging for another month. Let the outdoor plants finish outside, and start some indoor plants, and keep them inside.
I agree,just let em run..but if you’re gonna do that I’d certainly up pot em..and use a more potent soil and ready for top dressing for flower n mulching of something their in. She’s gonna need food and a good bit of it id think. Happy growing and harvesting bud.again,welcome to our home
Are those 5-gallon pots? I ran a couple of photos outdoors last summer that got too big and i was wishing I could up-pot to 15-gallon pots, or 20. In 7 gallons they had to be supported with ropes to keep the wind from tipping them over, they were so top heavy.
You’re welcome bud Up pot,re pot,transplant..all the same thing typically referring to moving to a larger pot/container. One thing to keep in mind especially within organics, soil is food(treated n prepped correctly) so they’ll need room and lots of soil..typically 15-20 to start with as far as finishing a full term photo. Can be done as you’ve seen in smaller pots, but its a lot harder to do.
If they are outdoors, they will hit their critical dark period soon. Unless there is an un natural source of light keeping from reaching the dark period threshold. And really most strains these days only need about 10-11hrs of dark to flower. Usually only full sativa need an actual full twelve. As long as your plants don’t have any light pollution then they will flower normally and probably finish around late Sept - Oct.
You also may want to transplant I to a bigger container. If they are in 5 gal, then at least try to double that. Or even bigger. Your plants will double-triple in size during flower and 5gal is a small root base for such a large plant. Your plants look great so far. Keep it up! And welcome to AFN!!! Also I wouldn’t bring plants from outside, indoors . Unless it temporary for a storm or something, they tend to bring bugs,and when you bring an outside colony of bugs inside, they explode and flourish. Reach out for q’s
That might be the biggest difference in plant size to container size I’ve ever seen! Huge plant! Tiny pot! Haha she really worked her ass off for that harvest!
That big Dutch Passion Lemon Z was in 7 gallons of coco, feeding megacrop 1 part nutes. I couldn’t find a bigger pot. The root ball was solid roots that i couldn’t bust up after the grow. In soil she probably would have needed a 20 gallon pot.
The bushy one, turned out to be a male, so I have gotten rid of it
The taller one is definitely a female and starting to flower, I’ve noticed some yellowing starting at the bottom and is slowly working its way up, maybe nitrogen deficiency, any advice or fixes would be greatly appreciated
