My outdoor winter grow log.

Well to start off I live in Florida and I am a newb at growing, but have done some reeding up. So far I have succesfully germinated some bag seed and started 4 in some potting soil. I currently have them outside in a partially wooded area and 3 out of 4 have sprouted. Plant A has all 4 leaves, Plant B has all 4 but are not all developed, Plant C sprouted but is developing leaves, Plant D is yet to show signs of life. We have been getting good rain and it took them 2 days to sprout and the weather is still like summer here. I am not sure on when to use fertilizers or if i should at all, but thats what I have so far.

Well i checked my plants today and two of the sprouts were found and destroyed but the better of the four were fine. Kinda sucks going and seeing the plants gone like that but atleast they wernt to far along. The two that are left are about 3inches tall with all four little leaves at the top, but were not stable due to the rain that weve been getting. I think because i didnt put drain holes in the bottoms of the cups the water sat there and overwatered the plant, but they seem to be doing fine now.

Your biggest concern will be too little light and the spectrum of winter sunlight.

i completly agree with psychcat. he knows his shit man. for gods sake keep them growing tho... since you have them now just keep up on watering and watever you do don't overdo them with nutes since there is no great summer sun to blow those little mothers up...i would think that you will get some nice plants... a little less yield maybe quality than you would if this month was may instead of OCTOBER.. good luck man...

I just couldnt wait to get some plants started and its like mid 80s here and weve been getting some showers too so im justa lettin 'em grow. :stoned: But a better spot is needed now cause my other two being found was a bit of a scare so hopefully that will be available.

you do understand that cannabis is a photosensitive flowering plant- plants are triggered into flower by shortening of days- if your plants survive the winter it will be next fall before they flower- want to grow this time of year - has to be inside where you control light cycles not mother nature- you can't fool mother nature

Why sure you can you just said so yourself. Inside of course. I dont really care when they flower all I'm sayin is that its hot as balls outside and i felt like starting some plants.:thumbsup:

Update!
My two babies have grown their second set of leaves. I would say they are roughly 3 to 4 inches tall, but the stems seem very flimsy (possibly from the rain we have been getting). All in all things seem well. Just curious, how heavily wooded area can a plant be in and still receive enough sunlight? Im asking because I have scoped out a spot but there is some trees overhead and was thinking about moving my plants there once they get stronger...And dont worry im working on some pics to get up i just got to get a camera first.:jointsmile:

is it just me or does this seem like a kid?

yes it does but who knows

Young, yes. Kid, no. I have probably seen, done, and experienced more than most, but acting like a hardass is not my nature. Infact, more often than not, I find myself being overly nice to people. I admitted I am not very knowledgable in growing, but then again thats why I came here in the first place, isnt it???what:

Yes that is why I said you never know , an yes that is what cannabis.com is great for. There is so much knowledge on here, read through grow logs and all the growing sections and you will be suprised how educated you will become I started in August almost clueless now I help others and have an amazing grow finishing up

welll midniqht. im in florida aswell and a newbie qrower. it is fall here, alot of wind & some rain & i plan on qrowinq mine outside in the woods aswell. how would i qo about doinq it?

If I had seeds or clones I wouldn't be putting them outside.
The conditions are anything but ideal, it would be better to wait so that they are getting the right cycle.
Cannabis plants don't fare well under these conditions as thier natural cycle is from spring to fall not from fall through winter into spring.

It does rain a lot in Florida, doesn't it? I would just move them indoors and grow from there, Mother nature is against you and there is no beating that bitch, lol.:jointsmile:

Ok,I'm in Florida right now,and I have 11 outdoor plants.10 are only 3 weeks old,and the other one has about 3 weeks left flowering.You can pretty much grow all year round here,as it never gets cold enough to kill them.I've kept plants out all winter,and the lows got in the 20's.The rainy season here is spring and summer,and it really doesn't rain too much through the winter.Well actually,our winters are actually what people up north would consider spring.All throughout winter the highs range from hi 50's to 70's during the day,and hi 20's to 40's at night.What your plants will do,due to the long nights is flower throughout the winter.I keep plants going all year long here,and you can have multiple harvests.It's pretty cool.You can also build a cheap green house.I just built one for 40 bucks,and it's pretty big.PEACE

Here are my outdoor Florida Indicas,and I plan to keep them out all winter.I know their all crowded together,but once they show their sex,I'll kill all the males,and transfer the females to individual pots.I can't put them in my greenhouse,because my roommates don't like cannabis,and they told me no growing anything but legal plants in there,so I have all my outdoor ferns,coleus,cactus,etc,in there.I have them in a little wooded corner of the yard,and nobody ever goes back there.PEACE
