how late is to late

[tat2edangel]

my partner killed the clones that were to go into the spot.
so now i just wont to get WHATEVER i can into the ground and get something back. but i wont to do it very late for sneaky sake. i read about starting your clones on a 12/12 inside and then takeing them out into gods big light after they have been going for a month or so. water food and light is great in the spot till mid sep so if i start flowering now i should have 20 maybe 30 jump started clones in the ground by mid july. given they are 65 day genetics indoor under 1250 watts mother natures big bulb should be good, yes?

How late is TOO late??

If you are an outdoor grower then grow outdoor.
Artificial lights are just that, artificial. You would appear to be inducing flowering indoors then wanting to move them outdoors - I cannot think of a good reason why you would want to do that.
This sort of stress can make them go hermie.
Give them God´s good sun from the beginning.

hey spanish fly I have spent some time reading most of your post and i respect your knowledge! so i would would just ask that you show the same respect you don't know me and just for your info i have been growing indoors for almost 10 years now. i have only this year decided to go outdoors for personal reasons. i spent many hours out scouting for the spot and have camped several times trough the last year taking notes on times of sunrise and sunset for my area. i have gone to the camping site close to the spot on big holidays just to see how many people get into the hills in the trail on the big camping holidays and i have done this for over a year now just to make sure. i turned and amended my holes last fall and covered with black tarp and camouflage so i was ready for this season.

i have read several articles for the net to HT and CC that say that putting your clones out door after jump-starting them inside can double if not triple your take and with the right genetics jump-starting the hormones indoors has so far shown to get the crop in as early as mid aug to early sep. almost a month before THE MAN is even out looking for the spots. i only ask in here is because i do respect the opinions of the members just like spanish fly.

i am 38 years old and i respect all for the hard earned knowledge or at least for there willingness to to learn. constructive criticisms is great! but let us all remember we are here because society and the man have no respect. so let us all be the better and not stoop to there level. LIVE LEARN AND PEACE FOR ALL LIKE MINDED AND WILLING.

man that is deep, I completely agree. And as far as your clones go I would start em inside, I have had better grows that way. Good Luck!

Hey, angel, cool it man. Sorry if I touched a nerve. Bit sensitive are we??

Yes, I always start clones under a gentle minifluoro, and move them outside as soon as they have roots. But neither of us give a 12/12 light cycle like angel suggests. That is asking for problems.

I don't know fly, I have read on a few grow guides that if you need valuable space in your grow room inside that is perfectly fine to take them outside in the last 3 or 4 weeks of flowering... don't know for sure... just what I read.

Yes, but you don´t do that at this time of the year. Plants outside are not flowering yet. The days are still getting longer.

[TheFxckingHero]

Yeah, I know, but they also said after a certain point of flowering, that the plant would continue flowering and not revert... it's not something I would want to try myself, but still. haha.

chill..

Sorry for the sensitive post. I thought it was a bit over the top after I read it . As for the amount of light if I start clones again that will give me 10 day to 2 weeks for rooting thats mid june, then a 4 weeks flower under 1250 mh and hps mix, thats mid july thats the turning point and in my spot the sun is behind the hills by 9 in mid july. My genetics have a bit of russian Ruderalis back crossed in. I am hoping that even if they are small, they will be bigger in a the ground in a 4x4x4 hole and gods MH, then if they stayed in there indoor pots.

As most know it is perfectly acceptable if not the preferred way to harden off your vegetive plants by acclimating them to the outdoor. Most would say "an hour a day for 30 days. So why not buds? Are we so scared to let the earth do its job. If a hermaphrodite plant happens, you don't have to pay for seeds for a couple seasons. I don't like hermit seeds but many people are paying TOP $$$$ for these, just look at the number of post on GC.

If the clone went hermaphrodite you can almost always attribute it to transplant shock. I don't find that to be a problem if you just start good heathy clones with a good root mass into great soil.

I have had the chance to get my soil, light and air just were it works for me (it is a bit of a proud point for me) and again with a very small investment in seeds. And yes bagseed.

Ok I am stone and that went all over the place. to be continued.....

[Spanishfly]

I prefer to grow from seeds rather than clones, and pollinate a branch or two for next year. Seedlings certainly do not need to be acclimatized to the sun, MJ is a tropical plant, they can take full sun from day 1.
Once mine are up they get the sun and nothing but the sun. I see no point in messing with artificial lights which are way less powerful than the sun and cost you money to run.
I am an outdoor grower all the way through.

The clones I did introduce to full sun a bit gently, but had no problems. Any difficulties will be rapidly apparent - if you haven´t noticed anything untoward yet, and they are making green growth, they will be OK.
