Early Flowering

[BOMBAYCAT]

Help: I got started a bit early with clones for the outdoor season. I moved a couple into the bedroom window as I love the smell of meds in the morning. They went into flower! My question is will the potency and yield go way down when I put them outside later on? The strain is BlueWidow (Indica type) and I live in Denver (40 degrees N). I figure I get about 12 hours of light right now. I was thinking of planting outdoors on May 1. Is that too early? I have the lights timed for about 18 hours.

Just booting through the Almanac. Heres the May first temps for the past few years.

May 1, 2010-Min 28.4F, High 53.5F
May 1, 2009-Min 37.4F, High 64.4F
May 1, 2008-Min 35.6F, High 77.0F

30-high 50's seems to be the main range through most of May. That is pretty cold still. I think 40 or below can stunt growth, and even cause some damage. I may be mistaken though.

I wouldn't put them out until after the last frost. If they are flowering now they will stretch and bud-out. I guess you will be re-vegging them once we start getting more light. Ultimately I think you will end up with a bigger plant, but plants put outside in May will get pretty big anyway. In other words, it would not worry me that it is flowering already.
