Started to force flowering by keeping in darkness for 12 hours starting July 14 for two weeks.
Still gaining height now 42 inches (107 cm) which is about 6” more than last week. Updated: see photo now 44 inches.
Reducing use of Nature’s Source plant food in favour of bloom nutrients.
Decided I had to remove some lower leaves to improve airflow. It’s super humid here now and I’m worried about mould and powdery mildew. I’ve had those in previous years in regular gardening and I want to avoid it this year. Trimmed on July 20.
I’m at 53 degrees N which means we don’t get 12 hours of dark until too late in the fall. Will I need to provide 12 hours of dark to start flowering this photoperiod plant?
I was reading your grow question and did some research that shows your equinox isn’t until 9/25 and you’ll be frozen out in short order after that. Your plant would need until November 20th give or take to finish.
