So it's possible to flower ouside in Feb even though the days are getting longer? The equinox isn't until April so it'll still be under 12 hours of day.

I think I just answered the question myself.

it sure is. i put clones outside to flower in a small greenhouse in late Feb one year. then it snowed. growth slowed to a halt but they suffered no damage.

So somebody actually gave me a neg for this saying that 40F = death. I guess you need to go back to science class whoever you are. I see you don't have the balls to sign your negs. :cuss: :fire:

Personal = what I like to do, me, myself, it doesn't mean it's law. :wall:





I don't like to have anything outside below 40F but that is a personal cut off. I would think as long as it doesn't get below freezing (32F) you should be ok.

misshestermoffitt, at the moment I've no pics.... I dug a couple of holes and threw in some potting soil and bag seeds and promptly forgot about it. A month later I noticed
7 plants popping up. I was unable to get back to them very often, so I didn't fert them until aug, at which point I was able to sex them...3 males 4 ladies. 2 of the plants were short and 2 tall. The short ones had some budding branches but most of the buds were confined to the trunk.Both of those I've harvested already, they were about5' tall....the other 2 are still in the ground and are over 7'. There height was a security risk so I tied them down to about 5', consequently many more budding sites formed. They are approximately 5 wks from done, given the temps it's unlikely
they'll fininsh. The wet weight of the 2 I took was a bit more than a lb. so I hope to get about an oz from them when dryed and cured, very strong aroma and very sticky.
This is my first grow...frankly, any success was more the result of a very wet summer, commercial potting soil...and DUMB luck.

Well good job Paulee.

As long as the temps get up during the day and aren't too far below freezing at night, I wouldn't write them off yet. I think you'll be surprised at how well they can fare.

As long as you haven't had a really hard frost, or snow for that matter, things should still be ok for the most part.
