This is an outdoor light depravation run on 3 Black Cherry Gelato clones. These were picked up on May 5 and vegged for a while both in and out. June 21 is my start date to flower (?).
I’m running this outdoor light dep grow side by side with my indoor garage grow. Each strain and site is set up to finish over 4 week period (Aug -7 through Sep 7). After they’re all finished I’ll post an average per strain in both the indoor and outdoor sites. That is, if I finish….

Two weeks ago at solstice they showed signs of flowering so I decided to go for a light dep grow and avoid the 100 degree days in September. I’m also trying to avoid moths and caterpillars, which frequently lay at night. These are outside during the day and placed into a closet at night.
I have multiple issues to deal with: light leaks, high humidity and ventilation in the closet. Now that they’re getting bigger, space in the closet is also an issue.
Growing outdoors is easy, hand watering is a pain. I have some pumps and drip systems but moving them every morning and evening makes that hard to connect and disconnect every time.
So, this is just a test and we will see how things go.
I’m also growing a few purple push pops, both in and out. So check those out.
Best of luck on your grow.
