swordfish

Started a pack and have a dozen two week old sprouts that I have been putting in my flower room at night. They sit outside in the sun all day as well. This 24 lighting has caused good growth and I can continue this routine for another month or so while my Kush plants ripen up.

Im worried that like a mj plant, they will start to bud and flower when I put them out in another month without the added benefit of artificial indoor light from my growroom dureing the evening hours. The days here dont start getting longer tell the end of May or the 1st of June.

I searched about for sunflower forums on the internet but couldnt find advice on indoor starts and lighting schdual. I did determine that like MJ sunflowers react to the daylight hours and start flowering when the days get shorter. I dont want this to happen when I put the young small plants outside in another month. Last spring I had a spring crop of sunflowers but they did not obtain the stature and size of the summer crop I grew as well.

Should I immediatly stop the indoor pampering and leave them strickly outside? They will grow at a much slower pace if I do this but might adjust their flowering rythems to coincide with nature and I wont have a bunch of early blooms. Maybe having early blooms on a sunflower plant is desirable however and it doesnt really matter.

Have some spare floor space in my flower room and thought I could take advantage of it but have little expierience with sunflowers grown indoors. Anyone sprout spring and summer flowers in a corner of your rooms? Thanks for any feedback.

dont have too many answers for you, but was wondering what kind it is, i did the exact same thing, indoor/out with a mammoth sunflower last grow season and it got way too big for my closet haha but was fun to try to lst.

and yea that sucks, not too many other plants have entire forums with all this practice and research dedicated to them like mj does, so it can be hard to find answers for things like that, only thing i have to say is try to keep the critters away from it, haha mine was eaten by squirrels, i caught them redhanded.
