When to start outdoor seedlings?

[jasperdooauto]

Hi all this will be my first year of growing plant's that wasn't just seeds I just stuck in the ground and just forgetting about them till October,bought strain hunters Auto Skunk and a photo from dinafem Sweet Deep Grapefruit. Just wondering from you more exprinced growers when you start popping beans and grow happy little trees =) ?

Depends on where you are and how big you can go. Am in the central valley, June keeps most strains a manageable height, but I know a few around here that will start in February indoors, and then move out to large bags in late april. Big as small apple trees. I start in June, and usually can keep them below a standard 6 ft fence in town... had an iced grapefruit last year that made me work on keeping her down.

Thanks for the tips man!!! its legal here in Canada to grow 4 per residential household ,but i would like to keep control of height due to the fact i know certain folk in my town will steal them if they have the chance then again i wouldn't mind growing a crab apple tree size girl

I dont sleep from end of September to end of October....
I hate rippers.
Run fruity strains.... we all know what skunk smells like. Citrus stuff by anyplace close to traffic.

yeah doubt i will be sleeping much during those months or just straight up bring them in at night..
honestly rippers are scum of the earth and if i catch anyone mid rip they are getting a machete through the shoulder muscle
yeah i was thinking about just doing the sweet deep grapefruit and white lemon strain , pretty sure the auto skunks key word "skunk" i got was a bad idea

Why are they bigger when they start sooner? I'm looking to do 20 different autos this year and I'll be able to start them indoors this year for the first month with some nice equipment but just wondering like jasper said what's best time of the year to start them? Weather, daylight hours, region based, etc. I'm in northeast Ohio btw. Sorry for stealing post jasper

Ah autos.. they'll be a little bigger, not a lot, get them out after last frost... outdoors I always relate to photos!

 

[mr jones15]

Uh what? I was thinking starting them a month before the summer solstice indoors then moving them outdoors the day after or of summer soltice. Seem a lot of ppl say some plants need that extra push with shorter daylight hours. How do you figure they get bigger starting them earlier in the year if they only grow 2 months?

no worries man more questions the marry-er , sadly i cant afford a light or tent atm so i'll have to wait a bit longer to rely on good old windowsill sun seedlings / starters but the window i use gets full southern expose which is nice
