I have decided to place some NYC Diesel OD in SoCal but can ne one guesstimate possible yield, I am going to manicured dirt by may 13th til Oct 13th. I'd like to maximize so I might top is there ne thing else I can do to increase yield.

umm what kinda lights do you have? try to make your night temps and day temps as close as possible, for low internode length. Hard to guess yeild that 50% up to your plant and %50 up to you

Thanks NeptHaze(My brother in Haze) the light I was refering to was sunlight. I am putting all my girls into the great OD so I was wondering how much direct light would create Nice tight buds. and what else can I do to maximize yields from clones placed outdoors aside from topping thanx for your input IC'ers

4-6 hours of direct sunlight is recommended but i like to find a place that gets 6 as a minimum. just make sure you feed and water them when they need it and you'll be set for the winter, and then some, with your harvest

ooo ok, So as much direct as possible is what id recommend.
Since there clones they should grow and establish faster than from seed.
I would expect good yeilds. If they got room to root they can be very big.
You can top, but i would reccomend LST.

6 hours minimum seemed to be the consensus over on OG, and that has been my experience as well.

^^ i agree - lst or supercropping (it is almost the same) could improve the yeild. also train your clones so that as much branches as possible were at the same height.
+ don't forget about good soil, ferts and watering when needed.

hope you understand my english.

greets and good luck!

IVE GROWN OUTDOORS USING CLONES FOR YEARS, AS MUCH DIRECT SUNLIGHT AS POSSIBLE YOUR IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE SO A SOUTH FACEING ASPECT IS WHAT YOU WANT,THE MORE DIRECT SUNLIGHT THE BETTER.WITH CLONES I FIND PLANTING OUT TIME PLAYS A MAJOR PART IN OVERALL YIELD, TO EARLY THE CLONES MAY START TO FLOWER THEN REVEGE THUS REDUCE YIELD,I LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND, I PLANT OUT IN NOVEMBER NEVER BEFORE,IF I WERE U ID PLANT OUT IN MAY. I STARTED USING COMPRESSED BLOCKS OF PALM PEAT 3 OR 4 SEASONS AGO, THE BLOCKS ARE THE SIZE OF A SMALL BRICK AND VERY LIGHT, THEY MAKE 10 LITRES OF EXCELLENT GROWING MEDIUM WHEN SWOLLEN UP WITH WATER. I USE ONE BLOCK PER CLONE IT HOLDS NUTRIENTS WELL AND IS WELL AIRATED, MY HOLES ARE WELL TURNED OVER AND FERTILIZED AND ARE QUITE LARGE 3FOOT DIAMETER 2FEET DEEP, IN THE MIDDLE I DIG A HOLE AND FILL WITH THE PALM PEAT AND PLANT THE CLONE IN THE PALM PEAT.SINCE USING THE PALM PEAT BLOCKS MY AVERAGE YIELD PER PLANT HAS GONE UP FROM 8-10oz TO 16-20oz. GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE THINGS GO WELL
