Question for outdoor growers

[BreezyGreens]

When do outdoor photoperiods flip to flowering mode?

Summer solstice was nearly 3 weeks ago.

When the days length falls to around 13 to 14 hours. To ensure this, indoor growers make their plants flower by making the day time 12 hours.

I am also in Z7, some of my plants are starting to show signs of maturing, others not.

Thank you both!

I wondered if the timing was as set in stone for outdoor growers as it is for indoor growers.

My autos are all flowering, but my two experimental photoperiods are just hanging out. It'll probably be another month or so before they start, based upon what ya'll are telling me.

hey whats up, here's my 2-1/2 cents worth-grow zones, i'm in 7 also. did you know that it goes from southern ct. in the east south westerly maxing out southerly in mid-south texas then heads n.w, all the way to wash. state? thats alot of diff. weather and terrain so take that crap with a HUGE grain of salt. as for your autos flowering and photos not, you do know that autos do not care about light schedules right? they flower based on age so unless you were able to match the timing of 2 diff. types they'll never flower at the same time

ductwizard, yes, absolutely with you on all the points you make. I mentioned that my autos are doing well as evidence that my actions as a gardener are probably ok.
