Firsttime grower.. a few Q's

Hi everyone,

tryin to grow a few plants for the first time.. outdoors. in BC. I have recently got a few clones, they are about 3" high now, they were showing roots through the peat pucks so i transplanted them into 4" pots with sterailized potting mix. i have a greenhouse where they are in now but

my questions are,

1. Am i very late? It is a KUSH strain i have, i was told they finish late september here, so i will have a solid 16 weeks total grow time or so.

2. Should i transplant into 1 gallon intermediate pots? or right into large pots/ground ( i have a bunch of 7's, a few 10's and a 15 gallon). I would like to put them into the ground but want to keep them moveable so i can finish them in my greenhouse if need be (rain in the last weeks). but i dont want to keep them in there all summer because there is not room with my other plants and it is a little heaty keeping them there for a long time

3. are 7gal pots too small, should i put them in totes/garbage cans to increase yield or will it not make much difference?... or just put them right in the ground.

any advice is much appreciated!

thanks

hey man! i got a few outdoor plants and i do keep them in 7gal containers so i can move them where the sun is. perferably you want a gallon for every month the plant is living. so i would even say a 5gal bucket would work fine. but i like a couple extra gals. and about being too late.... im not too sure, i know its not too late to plant clones outdoors where i live, california. and if you just transplanted, i would wait a week and then transplant into that 7gal
