    Planting a Photo Blueberry Fem Outdoors

    I have a silly question. If I live in a place that gets basically 12/12 light/dark all year round, how would a photo bloom if there isn't much difference in daylight hours? We are on the other side of the shortest day of the year now, so we will be getting about an extra hour of daylight in the coming months till June then days start getting shorter, barely. You hardly notice it as the sun either comes up at 6:00 AM in the Summer or 6:30 AM in the Winter. Temps are 75 for the high and 65 for the low every day with RH staying around 55%
    Will it eventually bloom even if it is getting slightly longer daylight out?

    I believe in that case it would start flowering as soon as the plant reaches sexual maturity, around 3 or 4 weeks. So basically it would act like an auto. I know that's what happens when plants are grown indoor on 12/12 from seed. There's a grower on another forum that grows that way and swears by it. Maybe look into some landraces from your area or somewhere with a similar environment. Good Luck 👍

      Yes, that is what happens. My neighbor grows bag seed outside, cuts the males down when they start showing, then and the females that are left ALL bloom. I wanted to start one of my Blueberry from Seed Supreme and give it to him. I never thought that it was because the daylight stays basically the same all year. That makes sense. If she grows like I think it will, I will promise to post pics!!!
