Thats the trouble with tassie our light cycle is so long over summer that they finish latter than the mainland states.
My couple outdoors have around 4 weeks to go, maybe 5.

nope never.
pretty much just chose it because of the claim its a more mold resistant strain.
and an early finisher.
but its not gonna be early haha. maybe cause they big they took longer to turn fuck knows.

Early finisher?... at what latitude. Always a ball-buster, that tiny bit of info is often excluded.
Daylength drops quicker the further you get from the equator.

It's not day length that has the desired effect on flowering. The hormone trigger is set off by the dark cycle.

At greater distances from the Equator, maximum daylength is longer. Therefore the days are too long to trigger flowering until much closer to the equinox, I believe.
I hypothesize that it only takes 11 hours of darkness to trigger flowering, as most Cannabis I have ever seen is in bloom PRIOR to the equinox.
It would be well worth an experiment with indoor growing to find what the true dark cycle trigger length is (for a specific varietal) . There could be numerous advantages to longer light cycle during flower cycle.
As for me, I have put a few smaller NL5H's out and they're only a couple of weeks into bloom.

Can’t remember where I seen it but there was some research that changed all cycles to a 36 hour period instead of 24 and shorter lights on/of cycles over that time so plants could still flower but also achieve a higher daily light integral. Looked interesting.

when the day is long the dark is short. But yep, what i said. We have long summer days down here. Sundowners are many and not a couple.

Ruby in SA has already harvested at least one plant. No way us down here could harvest a plant thats "done" in late Feb/early March.

The Gas lantern cycle is interesting to. Ive never tried it but people swear by it.

We are in Tassie, we get very long summer days and very short winter days.

"On December 22 this year, the longest day of the year and summer solstice, the total time between sunrise and sunset in Hobart is 15 hours and 21 minutes. "
Hobart is also home to the longest period of twilight over summer.

"If you include the time between the very first little glow in the morning and then very last glow of twilight at night, when we have our longest day that period runs for 19 hours and 53 minutes," Mr George said.

"We only get a few hours of complete darkness at the latitude of Hobart.
