The SF Bay Area Growing Guide for Dummies (An ode to simple yet effective methods)

Hey guys, I'm trying to start a thread for us Bay Areans that actually answer our specific needs in terms we all understand... Hoping to get some solid tips about growing in our area, and maybe even promote some local clone growers that are out there.

Happy Growing! Will update with my first post soon. About to head to Colorado to visit some friends.
 
Pre- Flowering:

Hi guys, I know a lot of people have trouble with preflowering in the bay, and was trying to make a post that addressed them.

This year I put my clones out in early June, hoping they would start growing pretty fast. That was not the case. Instead my two clones started to preflower and their growth stunted... After some thought I figured I'd throw the plants in to the ground.
Yesterday on July 23rd, I noticed that my plants finally started to bounce back. The leaves are back to having 5 fingers and the prebuds seemed to disappear.

*I put out another set of clones in early July, and they seemed to thrive!! they are a little bigger than the clones I put out in early June, and I think will produce more.* Other people have the same problem?

How much light were they getting before you put them out? That seems odd with 14:30+ light. I put two out in the Tri-Valley on May 17 with 14:16 of daylight and they took off just fine with no re-veg. Guess it could be related to strain. These were Platinum Cookies.
