All the males I had started making seeds and I got rid of them. The plants I have left have started to flower, some more than others.

Right now I'm at around 14 hours and 20 minutes of daylight. Most growers around here that I know start their crop at the beginning of May and harvest around the first frost, which is usually around the end of October.

What would be the maximum amount of time you would keep a plant on a 18/6 lighting schedule before moving them outdoors?

Also, will a longer vegetative cycle always produce a higher yield?
