MJ plant question?

[TomDaDon90]

Okay so I have a Cinderella 99 strain MJ plant that is about 12 half inches tall and a Hollywood OG strain that is 13inches tall.
I know that at 18 inches I can change the light from 15hr Now to 12hr.
Then she will start bud. But my Hollywood OG I wanted to put outside that on May 25th. But I was wondering because people said that if I put Hollywood OG outside than it will bud in October. And its under 100 Watt LED light I got from internet. Vivo1000. So I'm wondering can I grow my Cinderella 99 higher than 18inches before I switch the lights to 12hr to bud. Or should I start at 18 inches. The 12hr light. Because I have them on Now for 15hrs a day
And they are growing pretty quickly under they new lights.

You can grow it to 6' tall before flipping, if you have the time and room for such a large plant.
One can flip to 12/12s at 3-5 weeks old, tall has nothing to do with it other than yield at the end.

I did not know that.
Else I would never started them on 12/12hr few days ago.
Well I got em back to 16 to 18hr light.
And I have to replant them in bigger pot tomorrow.
Because the ones they are in now are way to small.
So I have to else I'll just be ruining the ☘️.

I always start my outside crop indoor to give them a bit of a head start. For example now, in my area upstate New York, it has been raining nonstop for 40 days now. Well I’m exaggerating a bit but it’s not good If I had waited for Mother Nature to break before starting outdoors would significantly reduce my chances of harvesting my goal for the season. Also bigger stronger plants have a better chance than small seedlings when it comes to weather. Mother Nature can be cruel. But also soo rewarding My hope this year is that all of this rain in spring may lessen fall rains. Last season was rough. I guess that’s part of the enjoyment is the uncertainty and the rewards after. Bottom line is get them big and healthy before putting out.

I plant mine direct in their final place, may need to cover them for frosts, but I like to have them up for the spring rains.

I just put my Cinderella 99 in a bigger pot.
She came out nice and slid out really really easily.
And my Mom helped me.
But if she lives until tomorrow I will do my other I have one more it's Hollywood OG flower. And I will do the same as I did today.
So I gave her a full cup of water. I'll post a picture.
See how much bigger the pot is compared to the one on the Right .
The lil mini plants are my Moms tomatoes.
I think it's a 2 gallon pot size.
But I can't really afford for them to triple they size.
It's going be hard enough for them getting twice as big.
But if they do triple in size I could do something about it.
So when would you switch to 12/12hr?
Your opinion?

It’s always best when you have Mother Nature on your side. However in my area it has now been raining for 5 days straight. And has rained 20 of last 30 days. Unusual for this much rain so it’s just patience and a waiting game for outsiders. I guess I’m fortunate to also have an indoor setup to keep things moving along until weather starts to cooperate. And as usual when it does it goes from this to 90 degrees. Joys of outdoor gardening

However if you are doing entirely indoor with the lamp you mentioned I would flip to flower asap as they will continue to stretch during flower. And the lamp you have now is already too weak. It just sucks when you spend months of time, patience, ect. Finally to bring on home your finished product and be gone in a weekend. Just my opinion

[FenoHntr]

Had a friend who I taught basics of gardening as he obtained a cheap LED lamp and was now legal to grow I had tried to explain to him that he will be spending months waiting on a product that will be gone in a weekend. I guess it just depends on your end goal, however if you are looking for any significant yields. I would suggest bigger lamp. More plants.

[TomDaDon90]

So what would you do recommended keeping them on veg indoors for a couple to 3 more weeks
Then place them outdoors where they can grow until October?
That would sound like a lot better yield than this 100Watt lamp.
It's a Vivosun 1000. Said I can get up to 3ozs from it. But your telling me I may only get about eight? Idk. So enlighten me some more please....

[TomDaDon90]

Or I could put one outdoor and keep one inside.
I just really want it to stink up around my house during flower stage lol.
My LED light is a Vivosun 1000 that won't get me that much weed? I paid 100$ for it.?
