Parcero here,
I will explain why I registered tonight. I plan on moving to south america, and I am able to legally grow up to 20 plants.
I only want 8 to 10.
What I am curious about is this: My location has eleven hours of light per day, I was considering feminized seeds, I generally like the sativas,
being that they will be outdoors, would you recommend auto flowering? or is eleven hours per day enough to keep them from flowering?
Just need a recommendation about which seeds to start with, that would have good results with eleven hours of light per day outdoors.

I would start with photo plants, sativas would work best in that tropical environment

Where I will be is in the mountains, nothing tropical.

A friend of mine maintains that if I grow outdoors from the get go, with eleven hours of light, that they will be in flowering mode from the start, and that is why I am asking.

How long is your outdoor growing season?

How long is your outdoor growing season?

all year

 

[Pennywise]

Still Sativa would do well.

 

[PARCERO]

That being said, would eleven hours trigger flowering to soon?

 

[Pennywise]

outdoors Autos should do fine, you could get maybe three harvests with autos.

 

[Pennywise]

Autos will bloom the same regardless of photo period

 

[PARCERO]

Very cool, that seems somewhat fool proof. I thought the autos would work, but I did NOT know that you can get more than one harvest.
Does this mean that when it flowers, you pick them all off and let it grow new ones?

 

[Carcass]

You could grow 8 autos and 2 photos-then you'll have a definitive answer to your original question.
If the photos do what you hope they'll do,next year plant all photos.

No,you can grow 3 separate crops per year with autos

Carcass, thank you for the clarification to the newbie, I actually grew before most people here were born, but not with today's technology and choices of seeds that are available.
Now, other question is when I go to the website to order, will the 'photos" be denoted as such?

 

[PARCERO]

Hey thanks, I found a site that offers a great deal. For 69 US, they offer 30 seeds of outdoor ( three varieties of ten seeds each).
Or, for 50 US, I can get 5 seeds of auto blue dream, feminized outdoor.
I see where it denotes the length of time to flower is 8 to 10 weeks.....
Seems, like the more the merrier, but being my first outdoor grow, with 11 hours of light, I am looking for recommendations based on that, and that I like the sativas.
Thank you

 

[PARCERO]

Definitely found a great place to buy, and with your help, I am able to make a better decision, thanks to you all.
Still curious what the "photos" are though, LOL.

 

[Carcass]

Photos are plants that flower according to the length of light and darkness they receive, short for "photoperiod"
Indoor growers set their lights to 12 hours on / 12 hours off to make the plants flower.

If the seed sites don't call them "auto" then they're photoperiod.
Then you have to decide between "feminized"and "regular seeds"
Feminized generally cost a bit more,but in my opinion,they're worth it.
