Marion, Flathead, Montana (Zone 5a) 4b - 5a ... deep in the NW rockies
I have a precious single seedling from last summer doing well and presumably in its first year rosette stage. I kept it alive indoors during this past winter . I am hoping to keep it alive throughout this next winter under 400W HPS/MH if it doesn't surprise me by flowering this fall . Anyone ever tried something like this ? I am pretty aware of photo-period manipulation and what it takes to keep a plant in a vegetative state when necessary and then at the right time switch over to the flowering photo-period , but also recognize that there is a reason why plants need to go through the yearly outdoor cycle . The main goal is to have this plant now named 'Fergie' for being stubbornly persistent , in whatever size and type of planter and manipulated so that next summer around beginning of June to be in full bloom for my 3rd clan event at the Chicago Scots Festival . Any brainstorms are welcome ... I think ...
