Migrating to the tent indoors

Outdoor The Grow
#1

I have a couple of late season photos. They are about 5 weeks in the dirt. You can see they are in flower with a load of bud sites. Both of them have had their main stems split.

I am in the north Ga. mountains and the temperatures are dropping. I will put them in the greenhouse tonight but tomorrow, they go into the tent.

I just harvested a plant (7 oz) that I let flower all the way to harvest naturally.

I noticed the leaves stay thin as we approach winter. Not sure why. You might also notice my buckwheat. We grow them late into the season for bee nectar and I always throw a couple of seeds into the pot. They are good for moisture retention and soild amendment.

My question is the light settings.
Our days are 11 hrs. 18 mins right now with 7:40 AM rise to 6:58 PM set. That is what these plants have been seeing.
Should I just set my light-cycle to match that?

You can set the lights to 12/12. They won’t reveg unless you hit them with more than 14 hours of light (since less than that will trigger flowering, more than that should trigger revegging).

Congrats on the harvest too Sling!

they are in the tent and looking fine. But it is hard to beat that rolling sun and soft breeze.

I’d go 11-13 to be sure she doesn’t reveg. She’ll finish quicker also.

Sounds like you’ve got some healthy plants going! Five weeks in and already showing good bud sites is a great sign. Splitting the main stems can actually help with bud development if done carefully, so that should work in your favor. With the dropping temperatures in the north GA mountains, moving them to the greenhouse and then into the tent is a smart move to maintain warmth and stability. Congrats on your recent harvest of 7 oz! That must feel amazing. Best of luck with these late bloomers, I’m sure they’ll do great in the controlled environment!

You’re doing a great job adjusting to the changing weather! Since your plants are in flower, you can keep the light cycle at 11 hrs 18 mins, or you could switch to a 12-hour cycle to help them stay in flowering. Just make sure the temperature in your tent stays consistent as the cold weather hits to keep your plants stress-free.
