So due to various reasons that are too boring to explain, I’ve got a couple spare plants (one male, one female) that I sprouted on a lark and are ready to flower. Also got a clone of my wife’s favorite cultivar ready to flower.
I live in a double-wide trailer and don’t have room for the tent in the house, so it will need to stay in the garage. I anticipate temperatures will not go below freezing but could get into the 30s F in my garage. I just flipped and expect the plants would be done sometime in December.
The thing is, I have never flowered at such low temperatures before. How much will low temps slow the flowering process? Will the plants themselves be able to live in temperatures that hover between 65 F — 35 F for a couple months?
Please keep in mind, this is an experiment. These plants were all started on a lark and I am not going to cry a river if none of this works out. I don’t really give a shit.
That said, this is science. Bro science? Perhaps. More like drunken Grandma science, but these are semantics.
My primary purpose with this thread is to see if folks have tried flowering at low temperatures and what they found.
My secondary purpose is for people to take bets on whether or not such a dumb idea can even work, or how badly I will fail. I am not worried about it — like I said, this is an experiment with plants that were germinated as an afterthought.
And just to answer any questions that come up: No, I am not able to move my tent indoors from the garage. My wife doesn’t have room and I don’t give enough of a shit to argue about it. No, I am not going to run an unattended heater in my garage. Yes, I will post pics but not right now because they are in dark period.
