The calendar is only four months long: two months vegetative growth, two months flowering. Since this is an indoor calendar, you may start it any day of the year you want, no matter what the weatherman says. If the garden is full of clones grown with C02 enrichment or hydro- ponically, the calendar could move up one to three weeks, de- pending on how fast the garden grows. The calendar will move back several weeks if plants are stunted, root bound, or ne- glected in any way. Allow about 90 days for equatorial varieties of sativa to flower.
