I live in Kentucky and I’m wondering when my plants will start to flower
If your growing outdoors, which I would imagine you are for saying what state your in, im not a Kentucky Local so you’ll have to find out when the light cycle of the days are shorter than or around 12 hours of sunlight and that’s when your plants will start budding. What makes a plant think she’s ready to bud is during summer at one point every day the sun goes down 1 minute faster, once the plants only receive 12 hours of sunlight, the plant acts as if it’s a 36 year old lady that needs to produce a kid(her buds) to attract a male to create seeds for the off spring to keep going. In this instance you don’t want a male, so and more than likely your plants should be ready to harvest around the end of September or in October, Happy Growing
When I grew outdoors in the late 70’s (a bit south of you AL/TN/MS state line area) I would generally see them start to flower by early to mid-August and finish right at frost in November. I haven’t grown outdoors in years but I do remember they start the transition before the night reaches 12 hours, seems they begin to transition to flower when the daylight drops below 14 hours and the night gets longer every day. First 12 hour night where I grew up was mid September . . . with a first frost of October 30th
August is when she usually does the flip as said above, if growing outdoors in the states your harvest windows are september and october
