Put the second batch outside and let them flower naturally, by now the light cycle should be the appropriate one for cannabis to flower so you won’t need to use the blackout tent unless it gets too cold or humid and you want to protect your plants from the harsh conditions. Harvest your first batch around mid-summer, your cannabis should be completely mature by now. When having two cycles per year you will have to light dep the first one. Step 3Īs soon as you place your first batch outside, start the second one indoors under CFLs, just like you did with the first batch.
Use the blackout tent to perform light dep and ensure your plants are getting 12hs of darkness every day, this will guarantee your cannabis start flowering as soon as possible. Start your cannabis indoors under cheap CFLs and put them outdoors in Spring, when they don’t risk dying because of the cold. Your second crop should be started as soon as you moved the first one outdoors so they’ll be ready to flower when you have harvested the first plants and because they’ll be outdoors in mid-Summer, they’ll start flowering automatically without the need to use light deprivation. So, first of all, you will have to germinate and vegetate your cannabis for a couple of weeks before Spring, until they’ve reached a good size and immediately force them to flower outdoors with this technique. Light deprivation is a technique used in agriculture and nowadays, in cannabis crops to control the amount of light and darkness your cannabis gets, simulating seasonal changes. Light deprivation consists of covering your plants with a tarp to control the amount of light/darkness they get, allowing growers to grow more than once a year. Some growers may want to have more harvests per year and this is when the light deprivation technique comes in. This season starts at the beginning of the spring equinox and ends in the final weeks of fall before winter starts. As you may know when growing cannabis outdoors there’s a growing season, which means that you will have to start and end your growing cycle according to the weather.
