Planned Gorilla Grow...

Maybe a stupid question for you...
Question for the Gorilla growers here in the North East... I was planning on planting a few clones in various areas...
My clones will be used to 18/6 lighting...and they will be under one foot tall...
When I plant them outside, in June, there maybe only 13 hours of sun...
Since I've never done Gorilla before, how to keep plants from going into bud, the week after I plant ?
I could plant seeds, however, I'd rather be sure on the female part...
Ideas?

i'm in the great northeast, used to do the outside grows but more of an inside grower these days
i never did clones outside, just seed, but have watched other growers use clones without premature flowering
i don't think you'll have a problem from that, it's all about the weather in these parts

Corn is supposed to be "Knee High by the 4th of July"
I could wait till then...
I have grown outside before, never in the NE...
It's just for fun, and a couple/few plants...

can't fail with that outlook, it will all be gravy at the end of the season
the northeast can be a heart breaker when you get the wet crappy weather in september/october
getting the strong finish is tough, if i was to go back to outdoor in NY i'd consider auto's, anything to finish up by september

you should change the light schedule slowly to around 14 -13.5 hours on..change it one hour a week since you have some time....you'll probably see them stretch a bit...

also it's "guerrilla" (not trying to be a grammar cop.....just thought you would want to know)
good luck!

theyll be fine. wont get huge prob about waste high. 3 ft. id shoot for the first week of june not the last.
be careful puting plants in corn... make sure they dont us round up ready corn. that means there going to spray for weeds at the end of june

So, not only do I write stupid questions, I also missspell a lot of words also...Haaaa
Thanks...
I grow indoor, and will continue to...
I have two small rooms... with many clones to spare.... it is just, I would need three rooms/areas if I were to slow the clock a bit...to 14-13.5 hours, I did think about it...
Limited space....
So, I have watched pro's on vid's clone their plants, and then plant them outside [NorCal grow] in ground...
I am just wondering how stressed the little girls will be away from home, on their own, in the wild....

As long as the get at least 8 hours of direct sunlight a day they should stay in vegetative state with hi temps they might get a lil stressed but plants can adapt like animals so as long as the soil is good and you water them once you transplant you should be good
