Male or Female? 1st outdoor grow week 11

[sexysmoker9]

no im not, but i dont get it if they wont flower till sept they will only have about a month to flowe befor it gets way to cold, dont they need more time for the flowering stage, any one know if they look indica or sativa?

The leaves have indica likeness,I see sativa as well. Just keep a check on the amount of light per day.How many hours.I'm gonna say that it could possibly start to flower as early as august.If you end up with 3 females you would yeild about 2-4 oz per plant.Being in the mountains? Would be because altitude does wild things.Notice the higher you go the more sparse things seem to get!The air starts to thin the higher you are.Some strains just won't do well! They will grow and produce! But,not to their potential potency.
Keep it up! Your doing GREAT! Grow the hell on!

Ga Grown!

Yeah! Round Sept. they will show their sex.It's got to do with the triggering of the hormone! Light does it. 12hours or less.I got sativa that flowered at 14 hours.Are you in the mountains?

Ga Grown:thumbsup:

so potentionally i could keep the light cycle 18/6 for longer than 2 months and keep it in veg?

ok, i have 6 plants all together these five are the ones that are doing the best, still just using miracle grow and fish fert. I am thinking about going to foxfarm and then using blooming fert in aug. let me know what you guys think..

Can I ask you,without sounding crazy? Have you ever grown corn before? The reason I ask,is. Cause at a certain time you should administer ammonium nitrate.As soon as it tassles.So in your case you should wait till it acctually flowers before you start with all the nutes! Esspecially a bloom formula!Outdoors it has just what it needs to be it's best! I assure you!If you have been on a 20-20-20 feeding regular! Then when they flower the won't be lacking in nitrogen! Do your bloom formula 1 time a week,and stop 1 week before harvest.Watering with no nutes till harvest!

gagrown, i dont live in the mountains so i dont need to worry and i have never grown corn but I understand. my main goal is to get the best max yeild for what i am doing. should i leave them in pots or move them to the earth?

In my opinion you should just drop the pots and all in the ground. I don't know where your at or what type of traffic you have there, but those plants look highly visible. I would drop the pots in the ground around an area that has some hiding size. I would then take fish line and encirle the area around the plants so that deer are detered (only takes them one night to much those plants).

Depending on the strain your plants might not be done fast enough (they seem to have some sativa in them. If we have cold snaps early in the fall then depending on the strain and its characteristics, you might just have to go prematurely harvest them. When they flower is predetermined by genetics so it might be near a 12/12 cycle or it might be more like a 13/11 cycle. unless you have grown this strain for awhile you will not be able to determine this.

problems might arise by the fact that you have various strains which might or moght not be suitable for your area.

PS if there is potential traffic in your area I would tie those babis down once they are in the ground. Pot plants are distinct and any hiker or kids just happening to go by might say something or possibly come back and steal them when you have gone through all of the work and they near maturity.

thanks for the help, i will def put the pots in the ground, right now they are in a spot that gets sun for the full time the sun is out so they get as much sun as it permits. I wanted to keep them in the direct sun for most of the veg growing and then find a spot for super matuirty in the woods where the sun isnt shinnin directly on them so im thinking i may wait until the month of aug to move them into the woods. the seeds are form my area so i know they will do good as far as flowering and photoperiod its not like I got them on an order or from somewhere els are anything. So hope all this hard work pays off and im almost sure they wont get spoted until they mature a little more. Any input about anything would be helpful and anything i can do to get these plants to develop the way they should would be the ultimate goal, in my case.
