You really are an obtuse fellow. Re-read my original post in the intent it was meant- posing thoughts and wishing you well. I was sincere.
But you think I attacked you. So rather than ask me out right you chose the immature path of attacking me.
The USDA Hardiness Zone Map references only temperature. It does not consider daylight hours. So tomatoes being put out at a certain point is strictly in relationship to the plants hardiness relative to the temperatures it can withstand.
MJ is a short day plant. Which means it is affected by the length of darkness during a 24 hour period. Tomatoes on the other hand are day-neutral, meaning they grow irrespective of day or night length. That is why you cannot maintain a tomato plant in a perpetual vegetative state- they will flower when they are ready. But you can maintain a MJ plant in a perpetual vegetative state. That is what allows us to keep mothers, determine flowering time, etc.
So, my original comments were that you were essentially starting the plants in a flowering phase (similar to 12/12). When they reach sexual maturity, they will flower because they are receiving the correct number of hours of darkness in a 24 hour period.
My next comment referenced temperatures. It is simply a fact that below a certain temperature, most plants experience slower growth. This is true with tomatoes and MJ.
So, it then follows that your plants may not mature enough in time before the dark hours decrease (they do this every year in the northern hemisphere after Dec. 21) to such a point that the plant will go into what we call a reveg. It has happened to me by putting a plant out too soon.
And that is why I said good luck with your experiment. I was not trying to be rude. I was merely stating (the correct spelling is "regurgitating") my thoughts and was anxious to see how it worked for you.
Something about internet forums- there is no way to tell a persons tone or inflection. That is why it makes sense to ask for clarification when you find a post offensive- often times it is in your perception and not the intent of the poster.
The fact that you would attack Orange and Rose when they were suggesting you look at the situation a little differently, really reflects poorly on you and your character.
I wish you well.
