How to reveg plants after preflowers by the end of april outdoors?

Humble_Lionstarted grow question 3y ago

How big are the chances to bounce the plants back to veg after preflowers by the end of april and 14h of day length? Mostly cloudy weather, warm day temperatures (30c) and cooler nights (8c)in the old greenhouse simulated probably to much end of summer vibes.

They should revegetate normally from mid-May to mid-July. After that, they'll still have time to grow again until mid-August. They'll probably grow a bit weird, especially at first, and you'll have to do a lot of pruning of lateral shoots. You can help speed up the process by giving them some light to extend the light hours to at least 16. It doesn't have to be a very powerful light. Also, if you don't want to take the risk and have more seeds available, early May is (in my opinion) the perfect time to germinate, at least in much of Spain. You're at the best time to put in some additional reserve seeds. Good luck with the grow!

Thanks for replying @Ezzjaybruh Yes the cloudy weather is the main reason. Only around 7 sunny days we got this year in april wich is way below average. Paired with the tainted windows of the old greenhouse it was to much. The greenhouse is not next to my house (one block away), without electricity and will be teared down in the next years. Since growing cannabis is still illegal in my country and the greenhouse is very visible from a public street and a few houses i was happy with the tainted windows so far... Now i move them from the final outdoor spots infront of my house to my garage for the night under my veg light in the garage and provide a 16/8 light cycle. In the morning i carry them back out. Mid week i will transplant them into the big 100l pots and provide small lights that turn on and off every two hours for a minute... hope this will do the trick. Do you think they bounce back fully after the two or three weeks and continue to grow strong? Thinking of ordering AUTO seeds and start them as well for backup...

Also - the temps won’t trigger it.. it’s solely the dark period. And when you have cloudy overcast like that, it can happen

that sucks. It’s probably the cloudy weather couple with early season causing this. Hope for full sun for a while. Strain to strain you’ll have different trigger times, some very close to 12 hours darkness, some will only need 10 hours of darkness to flower. You’re gonna wanna hope for reveg in the next 2 maybe 3 weeks , after that it’ll just be a mess. See this often in places that storm and have overcast weather a lot in April and May, like OK. If you’re in a green house, and you really want them to reveg - invest in a light to keep reveg them now. Doesn’t have to be strong, just a flood light or something similar to interrupt that darkness. Throw it on for 3 hours after sun down or before sun up. Maybe give them windows a good cleaning too.

Why wouldn't they reveg? I don't see any issues. Ppl take clones late and reveg them. I've not done it. But, you'll only know by trying. They're still young. So shouldn't be an issue.
