The season is coming up...

Well not for at least another 3 months, but i like to be prepared. I have a few questions about my next growing session (second one ever). Now, weather permitting here in Upstate New York (not the city), what would be a good month to start? I was thinking either the end of April or beginning of May. Is this too early if the weather is fair?

The plants i grew last time (super lemon haze, AK48), i started about the end of May (i know thats late). But i was able to harvest (mid-october for both with about a 2 week difference, even though AK48 should be done weeks (2+) before the SLH supposedly) and had a very good bud, high, and all around good praise from friends and customers. And i was able to get a good yield for 3 plants according to different ratio charts between the weight of the bud dried and stuff.

Anyways, i always see these harvest dates as mid to the end of October and stuff in the "northern hemisphere", now mine was in mid October, but i had started it at the end of may. I was wondering, if i started at the beginning of may or even the end of April (weather permitting of course), they would be done sooner right? Is there a reason why they are always saying "mid october harvest"?

Now i know this is based on the type of plants i want. I am planning on growing these 4 strains- Super Silver Haze (2x), Afghan Kush x Skunk (2x), Acid and White Widow.

Also, any recommendations for bloom juices for each stage of growing/flowering? I have everything else i need down, i just wanted to know better bloom juices, or if they're not good at all.

Good time to plant is usually several weeks after the last frost, after the soil has warmed and nighttime temperatures are reliably well above freezing.



But IDK about your other questions.

Everyone everwhere has different starting periods for outside growing.

You gotta be sure that when you plant there will no longer be frosts and freezing.

Some years here in southern Quebec I've been able to plant in early May...that though is an exception. For me it's usually mid May to late May. Some people even run it into early to mid June before planting here. DEpends on the years...some are warmer than others.

Frost will kill little tiny plants...sometimes you are better to wait to be sure

Your plant won't be done sooner if you plant them early . Flowering depends on the light cycles and not age
