How long has anyone ever gone

[gfak69]

Hello AFN just curious how long in fall any of you have finished out outdoors and any tips

Guess that's really going to depend on latitude, 1st outdoor grow this year, autos are in, 1 photo still out. Looking like she's got 3 to 4 weeks still. Guess we're going to see how long you can go. Am more worried about moisture than cold.

My plant are from 1 aug. And is ready in end of this month or early september.. And temps are @ Day 14°C and @ night 4°C.. They can handle the temps. But is the moisture that I also worry about.. Its @ night 90% and Day 70% this week

OUr season i generally over by mid october...i left a plant out a couple of seasons ago until november the 1st and it got snowed on twice with one snow staying on the plant for 3 days...lol

I still have some plants flowering, but most of those I'm not expecting much of anymore. it's a cross I made myself that contains a bit too much late genetics.
still one plant(other cross) on guerilla that I do expect a decent finished harvest from though, it should be about ready now but I don't have time to visit and harvest right now, will happen in a few days though.

then everything that's left is too late, maybe I'll still harvest some from it in november or so, but depends how well they take the autumn-weather and how long they still have to go(but I'm expecting at least 3 weeks more for all of them), maybe I'll eventually harvest them prematurely if they can't take the weather anymore, and turn it all into hash. (it's a cross with a himalayan landrace though, so I expect they'll take the cold and wet autumnweather better as most plants)

ideally in my climate you would want to harvest the first half of september(or earlier, but that's only possible with auto's or a few extremely early photostrains), then you can harvest before the budrotseason really takes off. but up to october is still fine too, this year I had another cross that's also still on the late side, harvested most of it between end september and half october, but it still finished fine with little mold.
but the later you go, the more you're depending on moldresistant genetics and luck with the weather. one week of rainy autumn weather and everything can mold to shit.

Take a look at Sweet Seeds fast F1 versions....several like the green poison fast are really early finishers! I grew a regular green poison and it was done by sept 21st(longest days being 16.5 hours of daylight and losing 2-3 minutes daily after June 21st)

thanks, but it's not that I don't have any earlier strains(I grew a bunch from hybrids from hell at guerilla, also proven early finishers, and I still have a few other early danish strains in my fridge), it's just my own crosses that are later, because I used later stuff to cross to those early strains. hopefully I'll have that mostly fixed next year though, I have some extra crosses planned for the winter to early strains(got 2 super07, 1 tanska's nepal and 1 with lost lable growing to cross for earliness, and I'm testing if some old royal dane seeds will still germ). hopefully that'll be enough to get them to reliably finish in september.
the cross of which most plants are still far from done flowering I didn't expect much else from, although I had hoped a slightly earlier finish and a bit bigger spread, so there would've been a few plants already early enough that I could stabilize. but there's just 1 that I've already harvested(my favorite, she also smells great, unique smell. low yielder though)

those fast F1's seem like they would be less usefull for breeding, reading the description it seems they're semi-auto's, so the early flowering would be caused by the one autoflowergene they have, so it would be impossible to stabilize the early flowering, and I would have auto's popping up all the time.

Thanks for input i have a jock horror that didnt auto she was born july 4th its now end of october and she is taking her time ....i was afraid of moisture and budrot she is now happy under a 1000w hps to finish out....as like you guys i wasnt worried about cold as much as moisture.......peace

I once had a columbian sativa that was popped in mid april and went in the ground first of may that was not finished when it got frost killed right before halloween.

The weather in belgium is really bad last year the 20 august my plants had budrot.
The main cola got ruined but i managed to harvest the smaller ones.
