Have I missed the window for the '09 Outdoor Season?

[MDFinest]

First off I had a plant that was 6wks into veg. and it was found! Now I have 4 seedlings that sprouted a few days ago that I'm relying on. I have more seeds I'm thinking about germinating. My question is with just Aug Sep & Oct thats only really 3 months which is just barely enough to make it. I dont want huge plants anyhow.. I want to used SOG method. I def. need to make it this season! I know why it got found and I dont want to go into all that.. I was being careless. I just didn't want to leave the plant to fend for itself yet.. so I kept tending to it. I'm going to tighten up this time. Long story short I just want to see if I have enough time to still make it!

Autumnal equinox, when nature goes into 12/12, is September 22nd this year.

You have just under two months to veg. Should be fine.

Ha, I did the exact same thing I'm in my fourth day since the shoots came up and was somewhat worried myself. This is a relief! I'm going with a really basic plastic cup grow, but I might move it up depending on how things go.

I did my research and the first frost hits at the very end of October. I'm keeping them in a plastic cup until they show sex then I'm putting them in a 1 gallon pot and letting them go from there. I just have to make sure that I make their veg. stage is very productive.

I think you should transplant your plants into bigger pots. If they don't have enough room for the roots to grow, they could get root block :/

[MDFinest]

do you really think they'll grow that big given that the season is almost over?? Ill take your word 4 it tho.

[Aaron19]

put them in small pots at first until there almost route bound ( not fully obviously cause they will die slowly)
but if you Grow in small pot at first when you move to a new pot after the veg stage the roots will go mad with the new space available and shoot out quicker then normal repoting.
So yeah start small little pot like your cup thing ( make sure plastic cup is black or really dark so roots dont get the light from white cups.and leave plant in there as long as you can. Repot 1 week before 12/12 starts then your plant should bloom quicker and more efficient . just a tip

[MDFinest]

thanks bro!!! I'm going to do that.

I'd definetly LST them to max your yield. Topping would take too long to recover from IMO. Remember they will stretch in flower for 3-4 weeks so they should be pretty decent sized. Good luck, too bad you got found.

[MDFinest]

I didnt know you LST to max yield. I only knew about using it to change the appearance of the plant.
