Just a few thoughts: plan is to attempt to put into flower state in 2-3 weeks.
Any ideas on what y’all would recommend to do this? Was looking put in outdoor shelter for 18+ hours
I have gotten my watering better now and have seen where it’s required to get the girls out of direct sunlight at times….been having 100F and 60+ humidity.
The only nutrients I have used is ILGM growtime and will go to flowertime once there
Are you growing them outdoors? If so, they’ll go into flower on their own. The one in the middle looks like it’s already flowering. Mine started a week ago.
Hey there neighbor! The yellowing and lighter green makes me think they’re hungry. I’m not familiar with Bergman’s nutes, but it looks like you could use a little nitrogen. Usually the veg state nutes have a little higher content.
Being feminized and outdoors, they’ll flower with the sun cycle. In the southern region, usually late July to mid August, with harvest being up to late October or early November.
Outdoor plants start flowering when the days start to get shorter, after the solstice (unless they’re autos, they go off a time cycle. Light schedule doesn’t matter). Indoor photo plants have to have a 12 hour dark cycle to flower. This outdoor plant started flowering last week, and will be ready October something. One more thing, outdoor plants won’t flower correctly if there’s artificial light nearby, like a street light.
Keep using the veg nutrients until you see actual “budlets” the switch to bloom nutrient’s. I move mine to the garage at sundown every night, and bring back out at sunrise. I’m trying to keep the dew off the buds, to minimize the risk of mold, and rot.

[/quote]Hi Dexterado. If I may through in my 2 cents worth. I was always under the impression of the same thing. Days get shorter they start to flower. Well what happened to me was I started 3 Purple Haze seeds at the 1st week of May. Sprouted them and went straight to pot outside. Now in just 6 weeks they all started to shoot out the white hairs. Keep in mind the days are still getting longer at this time. I was hoping to get them at least 4 or 5 feet before flowering. There sure acting like autos which they supposedly aren’t. One plant is 25" and other 2 are 18" . They all have nice buds right now and will be ready to pluck in a few weeks. Just took this pic and their around 10 weeks as of today. I’ve had a few others tell me they experienced the same thing this year. Something’s up with the weather that’s for sure. Just wanted to pass that info along.
Yea it seems like we’re both scratchin our heads as to WHY? We have no control outdoors to what mother nature has in her plans. As long as I get some good buds I’m a happy camper.
@SwagD I’m in the process of getting some close ups of the trichomes and see what the experts think if it’s time to harvest. There are many more folks here with a ton of experience than I have when it comes to harvest.
Thats caused by a type of a leaf miner. I have those on my lemon tree. Here’s a clip on youtube of one solution for those little pricks. Dealing with Leaf Miners in a Hemp Grow - YouTube
Just do a search on leaf miners for more suggestions. Hope that helps…
