My Plant. -PICS! YAY!

nice plants they look in good shape with that nice green color you gave them baby's. Keep up the good work and keep us updated with those. I wanna see those things grow.

 

Right on g o d.
I have a number of plants that are budding right now.
1 of them showed buds forming on 08/01, meaning she triggered in mid-July, when nights are short.
Another 10 of them triggered shortly thereafter.
WHEN a plant goes into flowering (at what light/dark cycle) outdoors is strain-dependant. Some S-dom's don't trigger until early-Sept.
And some plants are auto-flowering, which means they don't use the light cycle at all. They veg for awhile then go into flowering even if under 24/0 inside.

 

Most out-door plants should be planted before the summer solstice in this period the day light hours increase (days get longer) after the solstice (days get shorter) most plants genetically know to start flowering, oh & BTW the perfume in any soap will attracted more animals than it will repell trust me on this in my 5yrs in the army I passed my sniper-marksmans course (SOAP IS AN ATTRACTANT)

 

no shit LABRAT, a sniper! My hat goes off to ya'. Shooting is a passion of mine.

Flowering is induced when the level of a particular hormone(florigen) reaches a critical point. This hormone is produced during the dark period (night) and destroyed by light during the day. It is important, therefore, to ensure that the dark period is totally uninterrupted by any light , even a few minutes could disturb this sensitive process.

Because the Earth is tilted on its axis to the sun, day-length also depends on position (or latitude) on Earth. As one moves closer to the equator, changes in the photoperiod are less drastic over the course of a year. At the equator (0 degrees altitude) day length lasts about 12.5 hours on June 21 and 11.5 hours on December 22. In Maine (about 45 degrees north), day-length varies between about 16 and nine hours. Near the Arctic Circe on June 21 there is no night. On December 22 the whole day is dark. The longer day-length toward the north prevents cannabis from flowering until later in the season. Over most of the northern half of the country, flowering is often so late that development cannot be completed before the onset of cold weather and heavy frosts.
