My box finally hit the sweet spot. It's been running about 84 degrees since they sprouted but it's been 75 for the last couple days. The autoflower didn't survive and one shoreline died. Pics to come

I suggest timing your lights to match the suns hours on the day you pit em out fkr veg. Also with the non fem seeds you need to take ones and sex the clones and do it ASAP. Believe me there's no bigger disapointment than watching a monster bush throw balls in august. That's a wasted spot then. Also take cuttings of your fems and fill up backup spots in totally different areas in case of rippers. Nowhere near one another. Topping and lst are your friends. Learn it and use it. Have a spot set for a run of clones. Get yourself some tersias mist or colloidal silver. Pollenate the whole patch. Youll then have a tubesock full of seeds for future use. All females. Sometimes in guerrilla growing more small plants started late in the summer are better that giant beasts. Big plants you'll have to tie up In Flower or they'll fall over/break a lot of times. Learn about lime. It's also your friend. Aaaaand tell no one. That means your gf or baby's momma. Especially them.

So since they are 13 days when should I start to lst? I was thinking week 3 to pull them over I haven't decided on topping yet. I would love to sex my regular plant starting now but I only have one box all 4 plants are in. Is there a way to sex them then return to veg without stress? I've also wanted to take clones can someone help with what age I should take cuttings and a simple way to get them to root. I want to spray 2 congress with collida silver and that should produce enough seeds for me for a while

There's 100s of threads on cloning. And cheap DIY bubble cloner. Just take cuttings of your unsexed plants and toss cuttings into 12/12. Hell you could put em outside right now in your neck of the woods and they'll show sex. You could start with the lst now if you wanted. Just be careful with em.

It happens. It happens to me every time I try throwing em out early. Last year my temps were around 35 - 45 at night and 50s to mid 60s during the day. I've thrown seedlings out in that sort of weather no problem. It actually makes em tough as nails. 3 days before last frost date we got some insane cold fronts. Random snow storms. Frigid high force winds. Froze half the plants I had out solid and the containers they were in. Managed to save the rest but it took a toll on them. By save them I mean getting them back indoors.
Save them for last frost date.

Right now I plan on putting them out march 22. I really want to get these out of the house as soon as possible. Mid March we will have high 60s and 75s all april. I don't think I'm gonna sex any of them I'll just put them out and hope for the best on the one regular seed. I'm gonna tie the regular down soon though because she is shooting up fast.

If you put them out on March 22nd you'll be messing up your plants, it's to early. They'll start flowering on you. They'll get half way done flowering then start revegging on you and you'll never get POUNDS off your grow. If you DO put them out early, look up how many hours of sun light you receive on May 20th. Then put a light over your plants the same amount of hours as you receive on May 20th. Keep the light over your plants until May 20th, then remove light on that day. This will keep your plants from flowering and you have a chance at POUNDS off your plant.
Good luck,

If done right 6lbs from 1 or 2 plants should be pretty easy to do outdoors. Seen many 5 lb plus single outdoor plants.

Say your light schedule is 18/6 indoors under the light right now.....
You need to start shortening the hrs of light...slowly. This week start reducing the light 10 minutes a day for 18 days (March 18th) that's 180 minutes or 3 hours.
When you put them outside on Mar 22nd have the light come on at 5am until 7am ish (when the sun is high enough in the sky). Light back on at 5pm (when sun is about to go away) until 8pm. That's a 15/9 schedule and that should keep them from flowering and you should be good.
Good luck
