A cold time for HARVESTING

[Stonerz420]

last year my harvest date was dependent on the first frost, and therefore it was a immature plant, due to my climate it seems that my plants dont have enough time to bud to their full potental, they start to show signs of sex very late aug, maybe very early sept, and the frost comes soon in my area along with snow, can i at all keep letting them bud in the start of winter to get some mature buds?

First off, NICE AVATAR! :thumbsup:

Where are you from? If you're in the US, which state?

I think some cold won't hurt them. On my last grow "White Widow Pic", I experimented with some males to see how hardy the cannabis was. I was very surprised how well the plants were growing outside in the low 40's. Next year, try some earlier blooming strains.
I'm trying Early Misty this year. My Misty has been flowering for over a month already and some of my Widows have yet to show sex.
With that much of a difference, you can mature your plants outside.

yeah these are grown in Wis., so we get some bad winters, and these plants are from bagseed so i have no clue as to what strain it would be, whats the on average of how long it takes a plant to bud to maturity? :rastasmoke:

it all depends on the strain it is

I agree. I'd consider starting your next grow indoors and then moving the seedlings outside after the last frost. Other then that all you can do is growing a strain thatâ??s better made for your area. You can grow a few crops of lowryders a year outdoors. I'm thinking about doing that next year in the garden along with a strain indoors that takes a long time to flower for the best of both worlds.

As far as your current situation, I think maybe you should help add a little darkness to your plant. I kicked my premature plant into flowering a few weeks ago by adding a mesh wire fence in an area that would partly shade the plant during the day. It still gets the same amount of sun, but itâ??s less intense. I think that help my situation of starting a plant outdoors too late in the season, flower as soon as it started to show sex, could work for you.

Good luck regardless of what you do, and let us know how it turns out.
