Just sprouted some seeds. Plan on growing outdoors I live in northern Florida think it's too late to start? Read somewhere they start flowering in September and i plan on LST the plant. Is all this capable with this late start?

I live in the Channel Islands and so far we haven't had much as much sun as we should, ( lots of rain) I have 4 plant on the go now but wanna start another as I recon they could do much better, would it be too late to start another auto now? If I believe we're going to have a delayed summer climate?

If you want super short flowering autos that are decent try fast buds . The gsc was pretty good for an auto. Had legs that's for sure. You should be fine with an auto

You'll get some small plants but they'll do okay. I'm up in TN and mine generally start flowering at around early to mid August. I'm not sure if there's that much of day light difference between us.
I did the same thing a couple years ago with a boatload of KC45 F2 reg beans I had laying around. I chucked em out in early July.
Ended up with load of nice 3 to 3.5 footers.
I was pretty much lazy and just tied the main cola down to get some nice branching in their short veg time.
Then went through just chopping the main dense tops. Didn't bother harvesting whole plants.
They pretty much grew out like large Autos though. About a month of veg before I saw balls.
I'll be doing the same in 2 days with my freebies collection I've gathered for the last year and a half.
It'll give me some different smoke and give me insight to some breeder's gear I haven't tried. Plus "free"smoke so hell yeah.
You won't kill it in weight unless you throw out numbers. Probably a zip+ to 3 of cut and dried nugs a plant.
Just err on the side of caution with feeding. Smaller plants can be pretty fickle. They won't need to be bombarded with nutes.
But that's smoke you ain't
buying so have fun with it.
I've seen a lot of the Florida guys here talk about being able to grow outside year round with reasonable success.
How many plants are you talking about here anyways OP?

Got 5 feminized Wonder Woman (super high yielding strain) read about how people can get a pound off it per plant and I would be happy with a quarter that per plant haha. Then 5 regular seeds of unknown strain so 50/50 those will produce buds so in reality around 7-8 bud producing plants. My goal this season is atleast 2 pounds all together. I'd be fine with 1 pound but 2 is just a goal.

I also read that Florida season starts late May early April to October/November. Honestly thought that would give me enough time to achieve my goal. I should get 4-5 months of growth on topping of training it for bigger yield

May could be a gamble due to shorter daylight hours. It's kinda right there on the line of flowering times.
April would be safe.
