Get experience with seed first then move to clones. If you must use clones transfer them on a rainy day. Did my first batch off clones outdoor now got a month to go and there fine. Seeds will always outperform clones outdoor due to their vigor. I like using clones cause I can skip the "seedling" stage however they tend to flower right when they go outdoors. I'm using both seed and clone. Dig holes as deep as you can and fill with good soil for better yields add some water crystals so they stay moist when it doesn't rain. Overall seeds will give you better yields and show vigor.
