If I let my plants veg for 4 weeks then throw them outside for a 12 hour dark cycle, they would flower right? But what if the sun gradually went up to only 10 hours dark after couple months... would it keep on flowering?

Cause I want it to flower during the spring into the summer. And its probally going out before the end of march.

Ps. I put this in indoors because I wanted to know if I should flower and sex before they go outside.

thanks :p

HHmmm, still you should post this in outdoors because only they will realy know. 99.9% of the ppl here in indoors wont accuratly know. I'd suggest contacting a mod to move the thread, or just open a new one in outdoors and eventualy this one will get bumped. I dont reccomend doing that all the time. thats double posting. Once because of a mistake aint no thing...

123'...it's been "my" experiences, that they will begin to flower, but as light hours 'increase', they return to veg. Just about the time they have returned to full blown veg', the natural cycle reverses. The hours of light begin to deminish, and they return to flower.
That results in shocked plants, very low yields of rather poor quality.

I have .."heard" of others that claim to have finished flowering/maturing plants in June, by putting them directly out from under a 24/0 indoor HID cycle., in early April. But "I" have never accomplished it, nor witnessed it.

so if I left them through summer they would be like 10 feet tall? if they started a month ago?

I've also heard it.... however where I live I can't exactly put em out too too early... the person i read the article on said he did it... because leo doesn't look for em that time of year... which makes good sense... but definately too cold here for that.

.."Fool proof"...
I've found you can veg under 24/0 right up to about 3 weeks before summer soctice, then place them OD. They will immediately start flowering, and continue as the days get shorter, without the stress of them trying to switch back 'n forth.
