Almost 15 hours of daylight in New Mexico. They were outdoors n indoors for a while as temps kept dropping below 50f at night. I’m not sure when it got warm enough to leave out forever but it’s been a while n she got really big when left outside. I’m even thinking now leave issues I am having are deficiencies bc of flowering
This could have been here going into flower.
You going inside outside possibly prolonged the veg stage. Once she was outside 24/7 for a prolonged period, that was enough of a light timer decrease… just maybe man… heck im no scientist. Just spitballing.
When u say inside outside, was she spending overnight indoors and right back outside in the day?
Also did she like seriously kickass into overtime growing when u left her?
Yes I would like to know too how it’s anyway possible to get a auto to 6 feet much less even 3 feet! Unless he’s measurements are from bottom of pot, not plant

Ugh I’m pretty upset. I can only grow few plants bc of legal BS n my plan was to grow big ones all summer. I read books n guides n watched video and everyone said the same thing about 12/12 hours light n darkness. So can anyone on hear PLEASE get me an expert that can tell me the REAL truth about flowering photos. Please!

Don’t worry. They’re gonna get real big. Leave them outside full time now. They’ll stall and re-veg and then they’ll take off again.
I saw an auto today almost three feet from the soil and still in the stretch of first week of flowering.
You have a journal that I can read up on? Id like to switch to coco, already using jacks. I’m leaning towards autopots…
They’ve been outside already for a while. Couple months I’d guess

That’s of little consolation bc I still don’t know the truth about what amount of daylight or dark causes flowering. Sure it will be nice if they actually do still get big but I have no control when they flower n can’t plan on anything now in the future do to all the wrong info I got. Also, I seen a plant reveg b4 n it took FOrEVER before it grew again, so I really doubt that as well!

Mother Nature! 18/6 is more than when she went outside… Some phenos are sensitive enough to flip the moment you set them outside. She’s Beautiful.

What is truth? 
Trust your plants. Every strain is different. Keep doing what you’re doing. There is no cookie-cutter answer for each strain on how they react transitioning from indoors to outdoors. I went 18/6 to being 100% outdoors on memorial day. They threw out a bunch of pistils and then they grew like crazy and didn’t go into flower until early August. Way after the solstice.
You are absolutely right. You have no control, because the sun has the control. Learn that, and you’ll be okay.
Keep growing and watch them and learn. Don’t trust what you read. Trust what you have experienced.

Truth is your indoor outdoor indoor outdoor triggerd them bro. If you kept on supplementing more light over night. They would continue vegging… seems pretty simple when you ask me

12-12 is the benchmark. Very important point. But plants born under none natural lighting hours dont know anything about 12-12. 18-6 isnt natural. Most places on earth dont have 18 hours of daylight. Its just a trigger point that tells the plant its growing season.
12-12 doesnt make them flower cuz of 12 hours specifically (well kinda) but more like the sudden shift 6 hours backwards (from 18 or WHATEVER to 12) is like the seasons becoming shorter and triggers flower.
