What's up with this.......
If you have a tiny little crack in your grow room that lets light in, it can make your plants go wild. Re-veg, stretch, whatever, even a tiny glimmer of light can mess up a grow.
And, don't even thing about flowering your plants with a 14 hour on / 10 hour off routine because it simply won't work. You need at least 12 hours of [complete] darkness for the plant to produce the enzyme that forces flowering.
These are things we all know (so I believed). LMAO
OK, remember the retard plant I had when I first planted the 3 Critical Kush seeds. One was a runt and never made it to the grow room. But, since I can never toss a plant, I put it in a small pot and put it outside on the deck.
It started flowering a few weeks ago and some some pretty nice looking (albeit, tiny) buds on it.
Sun comes up at 6:02 AM and sets at 8:02 PM (14/10). And, the deck light is left on half the time after I go to bed and it's on all night. There are street lights, neighbor's lights and general city lights that make the deck ANYTHING BUT completely dark. Not to mention the moon, which seems as bright as the sun this time of year when it's full and huge.
So, howcum this plant is flowering? It goes against everything I have learned about indoor growing.
I have never grown outdoors where I live because I believed that they would not flower until 12/12 and that's way too late in the year here. That's almost November and the snow has come by then. So, the plants would be lucky to even flower, much less have time to develop.
However, if I thought I could flower here, I might try an outdoor grow.
