ahh...phew.

it's different outdoors than inside time-wise. the plants begin flowering long before 12/12 starts. most of mine started flowering around the last week of july and are going strong now. the sativa's started a couple weeks ago so it's a full bouquet out back right now...some strains are being harvested right now too (none of mine unfortunately). depending on what strain ya got it can be anywhere from the end of this month (doubtful) until mid-dec before they're ripe. i have some hawaiian-maui crosses that are looking like they'll be done around halloween, maybe mid-nov while the indi's look like around the end of this month into mid-oct. it varies so much it's hard to pin down exact dates...ya just do it when they're ready.
