Last clone in field was twice the size of the grow area plants because it was allowed to veg and flower naturally. Clones in grow area were light deprived to force flowering in mid-July. Grow area clones ripened under stronger sun and had better buds. The best buds form under strong sun but bigger yields come later in the fall.
@gottagrowsometime, outdoors isn’t so bad as long as you tend them daily, use the right strain, and time it right. And get lucky on weather like western Canada did this year. It can be a bit merciless some time though.
@gottagrowsometime, just working that out. I think it was 16 plants, 15 in grow area forced early providing about 50 g dried each of awesome early buds, and one in the field that was not light deprived. It was almost exactly 100 g, so twice as big, but the late season buds weren’t as good. All goes for hash anyway. Great plant. All cuttings were from the Hash Bud manifold diary plant that yielded 740 g. Woohoo. Highly recommended strain. Cheers.
@smoker420, for guerilla style that far north (like here) your best bet would likely be autos or very fast flowering photoperiods. If you can force flower (12 h darkness for min two weeks) then you have more photo options. Something from Fast Buds will work. I’m grow their Gorilla Cookies FF this year. Don’t start autos too early as cold overnight can stunt them. Wait until end of May or early June. Good luck.
@gottagrowsometime, thanks, eh? This is my first time trying clones and I’m very happy with how they’re going. I’m a bit stunned cuz I didn’t realize they could grow faster than plants from seed. Cheers.
