Hi I just got 2 jillybean clones they are a couple weeks old and have been topped they have good growth and look good and strong but my question is will putting them outside now make them flower? There still pretty small Maybe 10ish inches tall. I live in the California Central Valley. Thanks

How much dark will they get, judge by the growing season. Ie if its dark at 6 and light at 6 it's 12/12 or flower.

Haha on the very start of the veg season, good timing, prep a large soil area as these things should get big but your harvest is 7ish months away unless you want to cover manually each day.

Yeah I don't want them to flower yet I want them to grow! Lights up at 6am sun sets around 7ish. Starting to get longer light every day. Just nervous they will start to flower.

They will reveg if it does happen but just keep em under light even if it means turning on the outdoor spot lights during the night, I done that one season, it worked but pissed off the neighbors.

but yeh they will reveg if they do go into flower but ideally keep em lit till the light cycle matches up a bit better.

With them only being about under a foot tall if they were to start to flower would they be ok? How big should/would they get? How much should/would somthing that small yield?

Previous question, not much harvest at all, 4 zips tops.

Yes, if I go from seed or make a mistake I will take flowering and put back into mum room, 2-3 weeks later its like nothing happened, as a bonus you can check your sex this way.

they can but its going to be more harmfull than helpfull. revegging is good sometimes but when putting them outside its not really a great thing....it will stunt growth and by the time they re vert back to veg they will be ready to flower. this is going to give you a later harvest....i would recomend just waiting. spend then next few weeks prepping your soil and shit and then pout them in towards the end of april.

I have nowhere else to put them besides where there at outside right now. There in good soil getting 13+ hours of light 7+ of that being direct sun. I hope they can make it another couple weeks in veg after that I think I will be ok. If they flower ill just work with it as is happens. I Just don't want to let them go I'd rather take the time to get a little yield than just pull them up!

If your plants ( clones) have been under 18/6 light, no matter what time of year you put them outside they will flower. I do it from March til September. I veg till they are 2-3 feet tall and flower outside. 8 - 10 weeks later I harvest. I try to put plants outside every 30 days so I get a perpetual harvest. Big plants are beautiful. But they take a while to trim. The only effective way to keep them in veg is outdoor lighting to extend their day..
