Indoor Vegging/Outdoor Flowering

[iarbaman]

Ill be vegging a haze variety for a month or so indoors, than ill put the plant to flower outside. Will the light cycle get messed up doing that, since the plants will go from 18/6 to probably 13/11 for a couple of months and after that summer time will hit hard with 14/10!!!!
Is that a problem???
Thanks for the help!

Don't put it out until after the vernal equinox to avoid photoperiod stress.
Where do you live? Do you get frost?
Hazes are not typically something you'd want to grow outdoors unless you don't get cold weather until at least November- they flower for a very long time.

[iarbaman]

where i live now! Probably another 4~5 weeks and ill be moving the plant outside. By then, the temps will be around 10~14 celsius at night and 18~23 by day. So there is no frost problem:thumbsup:
The strain im growing is Arjan's Haze #3 from GreenHouse seeds. The flowering time is 10~12 weeks indoors, wil it take more than that if the plant is outside???
Since im vegging it indoors in a 18/6 light cycle, the moment ill move it outdoors, will it imediatelly start flowering with the new 13/11 light cycle???
Thanks anyway!!!

I'm talking about the frost at the end of your growing season. I have no clue where you live.

Outdoors in the northern hemisphere, a plant will start flowering in early August or late July depending on what sort of light it gets during the day. The only exception is ruderalis crosses, and Haze is NOT one of those!
12 weeks from August 1st, assuming the plant is sexually mature by then, is October 24th.

Do you get frost by October 24th?

...what a coincidence....that's the same time the flyover choppers start flying around here....:apachecopter:

[iarbaman]

By end of october the temps should be above 10 celsius during night!

These are my new babies after 4 weeks since they have sprouted! Looking pretty healthy at these point. The Haze variety that is growing in a 3 gallon pot, has a 10 inches height right now, if i start flowering her indoors at these point, would it reach over 3 1/2 feet by harvest time????
But if i just put her outside and let mother nature do her thing, would it be ok, since spring has just come???
Really dont know what to do!!!! Advise needed!!!
Take care you all!

It is possible to transfer them to an outside grow but then you will find they revert to normal growth.
An indoor grow is controlled enabling you to trigger flowering artificialy , when you move them outside you will have to wait for the light cycle and the plant will only flower when the conditions are right.

[iarbaman]

But all that i know already, what im asking is, if the light cycle right now is 18/6, when i put it outside, it will be around 12~14/12~10 for the next 4 months or so, will these change make my plant start flowering???
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

The climate in your part of the world is just starting the summer so it's highly unlikely they will be as short of light as you seem to think.

[iarbaman]

Anyway, i can wait until mid october to try these lady!!! But, i need to top her, due to height issues. Is it ok to just cut like a foot or so from the plant??? Will these make it grow bushier??? Can i use the top to make some clones???
Sorry guys, long time since i have posted, and i just come with a shit load of questions!!! Apolagize for that!!!
These afternoon ill be posting some pics from the girl outside and also from my indoor grow:thumbsup:
:rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastasmoke:
SAYONARA

[iarbaman]

Some pics from my babes!
By the way, the one outside started showing some white pistils! Flowering already???
Take it easy you all:thumbsup:

[M.B.A.]

1 of them is flowering. I see trichs and pistils

[justlovingit420]

hey dude build a frame around your plants and uncover them at 730 am and the cover them back up at 630 if you do this ata regular schedule youll see that you will get some buds dude its called depo but ya gotta be on time everyday though or it wont work

[iarbaman]

And the result is that my babe is flowering:thumbsup:
What do you guys think??? Looking good???
Should i trim off the lower, tiny branches???
Take it easy you all:rastasmoke:

ps.: in the first photo, she is inside because of a Typhoon!!!

[stinkyattic]

Holy shit, put that monster in a bigger pot like, YESTERDAY!!! But it looks good.

[inbud]

i do the indoor/outdoor, and both times i have had them go into bud when i put them out. tho this year only half so far. i had mine on 15/9, and when i put them out, i had 15 of light, just not direct sun. So, some did go into flower. thanks to Stinky for the info on the equinox, something to think of next year. i was gonna try less light to start them next year, like 13/11 to start them on.

those plants look great, and i agree with Stinky, get them into a bigger Pot! And dont forget the big bloom ferts!

[yungjay]

:) man im envious that looks toooooooo good for real, i would love to have a big plant of haze like that growing any buds forming yet?

[iarbaman]

little buds forming everywhere!!! Trics also start apearing!!!
When i have some time il take some new pics, so you guys can have an idea of my progress:thumbsup:
About a bigger pot, cant do it! I dont want risk having a bigger plant for security reasons. Since its my first try outdoors, ill just wait and see what the results will be!
Take care you all and keep the coments coming!!!;)

[iarbaman]

Criticism please:thumbsup:

[iarbaman]

The last picture is from a place called Trindade, near Rio de janeiro back in Brazil!!!
The place used to be a fishermans village, but when a lot of hippies started going there for the beautiful beaches and etc..., the locals woke up for the oportunity of making some money (at that time, it was really cheap) and allowed the good people to camp in their properties!!!
Then, in the late 80's the talk is that a ship dumped thousands of cans of Mango Haze offshore to avoid being busted!!! Thats when the locals (fishermans remember) got a boost in their pockets $$$ and started building pensions and stuff. But, still the same good energy going on.
Anyway, im really stonned now and dying to go the beach on the pic and just have the best cold beer a person could wish for!!!

[hydrocannabis]

the plants look great. so is the past pic a view from UR balcony. looks beautiful :thumbsup::D

[iarbaman]

The first one is a Whiti Rhino growing indoors in my old setup!
The other one is from my baby outdoors!!!

[iarbaman]

Its gonna be a while until ill post new pics, but sooner or later ill do it!
Take care!!!

[iarbaman]

How much lumens would i get outside in an average cloudy day???

[hydrocannabis]

yah dude I am wondering the same thing.
any new pix.

[iarbaman]

My wife just took our camera for a trip in europe!!!
Its gonna be a while until new pics are postted!!!
Later ill try to take some low resolution pics with my mobile phone.
By the way, what kind of insects could be leaving 1mm black dropings around my baby??? Im realy looking, but couldnt find anything yet!!!
Take it easy you all!!!

[iarbaman]

Sorry for the low resolution:thumbsup:

[iarbaman]

Since it is my first time outdoors, could some one give me some info on how long more should i wait until harvest!!! She has been outside for almost 3 months now. I know i have some weeks left to go, but how many??? Are the buds looking alright???
Anyway, i just had a couple of puffs of the W.Rhino i was also growing, and im really pleased to see that it is for sure a good alternative to sleeping pills!!!
Almost forgot, i was on the look out for bugs around my plant and i sprayed it with some pyrethrum solution. And in the next morning there was a green maggot lying dead next to the pot!!! Any ideas???
Take care!!!

[iarbaman]

on the flowering stage of my little Arjan's Haze???
By the way, these is a pic of my W.Rhino harvest:rasta:.
It was growing indoors with my old setup!!!
Never had any WR before, how about you guys???
SEEYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[iarbaman]

I dont know if you guys can tell the diference, but the buds are getting thicker every day:thumbsup:
So, any coments???

[bigmack]

Good call on the food dehydrator! My landlord has one of those for drying flower arrangements and fruits and I even made some venison jerky in it once.. yum!

[iarbaman]

New ones, of course:thumbsup:
Ive been a bit worried these past week, cause it has been raining a lot over here (rainy season i was told), but so far, no signs of mold or whatever!!!
She looks really healthy and still going strong. The buds are getting fatter every day, even with the rain!
Another 2 weeks or so (13 total) and she will be ready i would say, cant wait until harvest day to see what im gonna get:rastasmoke:
Take care!

[ganjaman79]

i must say they looking great ... i too am trying the balcony thing ...only problem is not enough direct sun, so im wondering what u did to get ur babies so big
thanks

[iarbaman]

Maybe i just got lucky with these one! But i would say that starting with good genetics do help! Also, you need to be willing to spend some time taking care of your plants. Thats what i did:thumbsup:
By the way, im growing Green House Arjan's Haze no. 3 (feminized) on Premium Rose Soil Mix, using Hiponex for ferts.
Thanks for the reply dude!

[ganjaman79]

hope my babies grow up to be nice sweet ladies like urs.

[iarbaman]

Been really busy past month! But finally harvest day has come!!!
Check out the pics and post some comments please!
Take it easy you all!

[iarbaman]

:thumbsup: Now, im gonna let the ganja cure until end of the month, and start enjoying my summer holidays:rastasmoke:
Maybe ill also share it with my friends, cause i want to get my tickets back to europe (Xmas holidays) out of these crop!!!
Since market value around here is US$ 1000,00 per ounce, i think ill get it!
So, guys take it easy until i post some pics from my El Nino girl who has another 10 days or so until harvest!!!
Catch you guys later:D

[inbud]

Take it easy you all!

Hi really nice looking plant. you sir have a green thumb. when did you harvest @ what color were the trichomes any amber? hows is it ? ...:stoned:

[iarbaman]

I didnt really check the trics color, but the hairs i did!!!
And after 50% of the hairs were red, i started smoking samples to see what kind of high i would get at that moment. And when it :thumbsup: i would harvest it!!!
The high is energetic, makes you want do something, cant stay still:rastasmoke:. It should be, sice its a sativa variety.
Anyway, i have another thread going on (how hot is too hot?), has some pics from my current challenge!!!
Take care !!!
