California Winter Grow. Jan 1st till ?

Will the days getting longer keep them in veg?

Will I need to tarp?

i have a greenhouse 10x9.

I have herd of winter light deprivation but no idea how to do it. Plz help

Holy crap. 120 views no responses?

10'x9' with a height of 8 feet.

hoop house style.

I have black water barrels radiating heat at night.

You did'nt state if you'd be using established clones. Starting from seeds? Are you trying to get a quick flower in before summer? Keep babies in veg for monsters come fall? Devil's in the details man.

Harvest in April and in Feb starting my babies for the big outdoor!

Nobody? The girls are in there now and have been in there since 9am.

So I guess a better question would be if I leave plants outside right now from clone will they begin to flower or will they be in veg since the days are getting longer now.

Very good question. Gonna guess those clones where under 24 hours of light. So ima say they are gonna f lower. Even if not they will still flower caise days are short. U need to add supplemental light to keep them vegging.

Awesome. I'm hoping to have a nice outdoor winter dep starting as soon as I can figure my heat issue out.

post pics and people will respond.they can't give you advice on something you can't see.

what do you mean?

put the ones under 24 hrs light that ya want to bud out for spring crop jan /feb then just put them under natural light and they will bud cuase the days are still too short for veggie growth and will be done by end of april . +/- and use a quick flowering strain for spring grow we have done this before with no problems

Awesome. Thanks the input.

cherry Pie. Supposed to be 46 days.

I am doing the same experiment with a couple adaptions...... one I have a clone and a shit ton of seedlings i also have some guerrillas that i veged sense the beginning of november and put out about a week before the light shift.....

my thinking is yes if you have 24 hour plants and you put them outside it will start to flower them but as the plant gets used to the new gaining light cycle it will reveg

I am hoping that the added month of a gaining light cycle will end up with a monster plant and maybe even a little quicker harvesting plant.

I'm doing it right now also just bought 40 "teens" off of this person and put them in 5 gallon grow bags.
im hoping for 2 to 4 oz a piece.
Teens are clones that are begged to a foot to 2 feet.

And yes they will flower look up your city's sun rise and sun set time as long as it is 12 hrs or less your good, right now my city sunrise is it's 6 51 am sunrise and 4 51 sunset.

So only 10 hrs, and your right the days are getting longer, but the more light the better as long as its not more then 12 hrs.

Where I'm at in SoCal the sun doesn't reach more then 12 hrs till like late march/ early April that's why you plant your real crop in April so they don't re veg.
