1st grow...going outdoors

[yamin]

hi....
ive been growing in my closet for the last 2 months.... ive taken cuttings and have loads of successful clones...
so now ive taken the 2 month old plants to the roof (they gt to big )... still gt the clones in the closet though.....

my plants have come from 24 hrs of light in the closet..... im currently getting abt 11.30 hrs of sunlight....
now my problem is that the days will gt longer... soon ill b at 12/12.... will my plants flower properly??? or will they pre-flower and go back into veg??

also when will b the best time to take the clones outside so i gt a harvest in sept/oct??

thanks

no replies

can any1 at least tell me if its a good idea tryin to flower now???

i gt 11hrs 30min of sunlight at the moment and its going to increase to 12/12 in abt a month

once the days get more than 12 hours just bring them to a dark room in your house for 12 hours

If you have 12/ 12 then yes it will flower.

Chances are that the plants will take a little while to get acclimated to the new outdoor conditions. So you will have a week or two before they start vegging again. There is no guaranteed time limit of what the plant will do but the dark hours will put the plant into flowering.

And if you want your clones to be ready around sept/ oct then I would wait till around mid April to plant them outside.

what abt heat???
it'll gt hot... like 45-50C in summer....
will the plants survive that and continue to grow??

should i try dampen the area with cloth on the sides??

day 6 of flowering....
ive taken 3 mothers and 2 clones to the roof....
am currently gtin abt 11.40 hrs of sunlight....
cant see any new developments as yet....
im giving the plants solid nuts 10-20-10.... watering every 36hrs
temp is 30c max and 18c min

something broke or ate a part of 1 plant..... am on the roof.... birds???
apart 4m that all the plants look healthy and happy

You'll have to cool the ladies down at those temps and if the sun is super direct, you should look into greenhouse shade cloth or plastic. I've seen may a burned buds from hrs direct sun.

since the days are getting longer you are gonna have to put black trash bags over ur plants if u wanna flower them all the way thats whhat im gonna do since my ladies are about a month into flowering but im not gonna put the trashbags on untill the middle of march when it gets to 12/12 and beyond

why dont you start a early crop.... CASH CROP... noone goes out looking for them till sept!!! i get one in ever year... but your plants under 12/12 now.. when the frost is gone put them out and you will have a spring crop in june!!! and also you have you others out there so you get a fall crop too!!!

Have you tried budding with only using black trash bags before? because to me they seem to let in light.

[yamin]

so 1 of the plants is def male.... little round buds everywhere.....
the other 4 show no change.... does that mean they r girls???
