Growing clones outdoors. Thread starter Start date Sep 1, Whats up everybody? This is my first post here. Outdoor Grow. How can i stop them from flowering when i put them outside i want them to veg?

There are a few way to go about it. The main concepts to remember is that you want to make sure your indoor light cycle matches the outdoor light cycle when you move them out. Also don't drop their light cycle too much too fast - I usually recommend 15 minutes a week as this mimics the natural light cycle. Mid April is also much to early to put clones outside without supplementary light in most cases.

For California May 21 to June 21 is what works for most strains and for most growers. Basically you need to make sure the days are long enough before they go outside - 13 hours is not enough light. Keep in mind that 13 hours is the same amount of light they would be getting in September - well into flower for outside plants. You need to be up around 15 or more hours of natural light minimum for most strains. Genetics play a big part too, some strains can handle the transition more easily than other.

General rule of thumb is that the longer flowering strains can go out earlier and are less prone to pre-flower, while the shorter flowering strains need to go out later and are more prone to pre-flowering. You will sometimes see people who put them straight outside from 18 hours and can have success but this is pretty risky and won't work a lot of the time. If you start dropping them down 15 minutes a day now, your light cycle should match up by the end of May, which is when you would want to plant anyway.

Hope that helps. But the max amount of light is in june which is minutes then it starts to drop agian we dont even get to 15 hours out here is there another soultion can i put lights outside so they trick them to veg when its dark outside. If you can put light outside, that is a sure fire way to keep them in veg, as you can make the light cycle as long as you want.

If this is an option I would recommend it as it eliminates a lot of guess work and other variables that could cause you problems.

Also take a look at timeanddate. Look at the 'civil twilight' columns rather than 'sunrise' and 'sunset'. Seamaiden Living dead girl. Maaaaurice said:.

I use those solar landscaping lights so I don't have to worry about running yet another extension cord. You can bunch them if you're concerned about there not being enough light. They suggest that cultivating outdoor hemp plants can result in: taller plants with a higher yield a product that has a unique flavor and scent a lower cost of production To ensure that your plants make a healthy transition from indoors to outdoors, there are a number of best practices to follow.

How many hours of daylight per day you will typically have during your growing season: This is important information to help you plan the cycle of light exposure while you are starting your clones indoors. Soil The ideal soil for outdoor cannabis plants is: Well-drained Rich with organic matter Slightly acidic A month or more before they plant, many growers dig large holes for their plants and mix in compost and other organic matter.

Proper pH You want a pH in the 5. Because natural sunlight contains a broader spectrum of light than most indoor grow-lights, start your plants in partial sun to limit the amount of full sun they get before they are hardened.

Start them in shade or partial shade for a few days and then, over time, progressively move them to get more direct sun. Start leaving the plants outdoors for a limited time, progressively leaving them outside for a longer period of time each day until they are acclimatized and ready to be outdoors full time.

Make sure your plants are properly hydrated. Inspect for diseases and pests. The leaves are more vulnerable before they harden off. Start your plants with an hour or two outside the first day.
