I should be able to finish them out doors, if the weather is typical for here.
We stay warm here in the Willamette Valley, so It doesn't get first frost until October 11 through October 20 which is when they should be finishing up.
Fingers are crossed.
I might have to build a temporary "greenhouse" (I guess a hothouse) so they don't get frost damaged and stay a little warmer through the nights, and warm up quicker in the mornings.
And if it rains too much, will keep them from getting water logged.
Worst thing that'll happen is bringing them in for 3 weeks to make sure they're finished properly.

Here's a really cool website with interactive sections that help outdoor gardeners with knowing when to expect first frost, and other tidbits of info based on wherever you are:

Transplanted 15 lil seedlings into solo cups tonight.
As I sit right now should pull 20-25 females out of the bunch. Not where I wanna be but it's a start. Will be flipping to 12/12 the 9th of sept no matter what. So looking at meds first week of November.
Thanksgiving bud! I'm gonna eat way to much already I can tell that...

Doobie, I have some cold ass weather here and first frost is always early Oct. My best plants are the ones that I keep out till late Oct. From my experience growing and from what I've read, it's not so much the frost but as long as the day temps get high enough afterwards the plants will thrive and throw out some beautiful colors. In fact the general rule of thumb with gorilla growers in this area is between first and second frost. The biggest issue is keeping them from developing bud rot or mold from the cold nights and etc.. This can be easily solved by just covering them at night. Outdoor growing in cold weather is what I've done for 15 years. I don't see mine finishing up before Oct. 20 my self since there are only still preflowers.

Thanks so much for the info, jimmer!
After 8 years of growing indoors, I have to be reminded that the cannabis plant is pretty hardy, and meant to be grown outdoors.
This first outdoor grow will be a bit of an adventure for me
Next Spring I'm going to be prepared and ready to go.

I'm home today with my daughter, who is sick.She's got some stomach issues that are making it so she can't go to the YMCA today. I've got a couple hours of work still to do to finish up a job but that my have to wait. Now it's looking like I'm going to be subject to a day of kid's shows on the TV instead, lol.

Thanks Doob. I just wish there was something plant related I could work on. I need to pop some seeds but was waiting until I had access to a heat mat.
Do you guys use heat mats for popping seeds? I tried one a couple of years ago and have been using them ever since. I just don't have a working one right now. I was considering just filling some cups with soil and sticking my seeds in them. They weren't free seeds though so I'm hesitant to do so. It's either that or I take cuttings from the clones I got from Chaka. I need to do one or the other in the next few days though or I'll start getting behind in the schedule I'm trying to get set up.

similar to the ones giggles recently used.

The heat mat I bought cooked the seeds, even with a temperature controller attached, so I had to quit using it.
I germ in moist paper towel if I don't have many of the seeds I'm germ'ing.
Otherwise I just poke them into soil and keep them moist until they pop out.
