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.

If you have a grow tent indoors or a room where you can force flower the plant then that's a way to go about it. Simply bring the plant inside introduce it to a 12/12 cycle for minimum a week and it will make the switch. If not, you'll have to wait until end Sep to probably see any signs of pre-flower but you may battle with cold nights and so on in end Oct-Nov to see it through.

Hi @Northern_Ent! Nice ladies in there! You will need to look at the "force-flowering" technique, which consist in covering your plants with an opaque surface everyday, in order to simulate shortened days. Here's a nice tutorial by SensiSeeds: https://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/outdoor-tutorial-force-flowering/. It's a bit laborious, but sometimes you don't even have a choice, and this could be the only way to save your crop before automn/winter Hope this will help, please let us know how this goes, and enjoy your garden! 👊

Hi! Yes you need that 12/12 light cycle for photoperiod strain. I have a friend who just puts plastick bag on top of hes plant to provide that 12/12 and we live 59 degrees N. Happy growing hope you find help in this!

You can if you want them to finish earlier but then your dedicated to covering them up every night on a 12/12 schedule for 8-10 weeks depending on the strain. I myself am in Canada and I just let them finish on there own, if there’s frost just cover them up with a clear garbage bag they’ll be ok! Happy growing!
