By Paul Todd ,07 Jun 2018I have an outdoor Cannabis plant 6' and it's doing no flowering, what's the problem?
-
By latewood_ILGM ,13 Jun 2018Paul, Most likely your days are still getting longer. After June 21st, days shorten and flowering can begin. Right now in most of North America we are approaching 14/10 days and flowering will nnot occur in this photo period.
