Putting clones out in southern Appalachia

[MountainBudz]

Just wondering in your all's opinion, if I put out some clones that have been vegging for a month right now if they will reveg? I know they will more than likely flower since they have been under a 24hr light cycle but as long as they reveg its all good.

how long are your daylight hours where you are at?
depending on their photoperiods, they might be fine and continue to grow in veg

be sure to harden them girls off; introduce them to the sun gradually
start by putting them in some shade outside and a few days later start letting them feel the full sunlight for short periods of time
/you can also use a shade cloth but thats kind of a hassle and could easily tip off your spot

good luck!

As of right now I am getting 14:21 mins... Sound safe??

 

[pop_rocks]

if thats hours (14.21h) then you should be fine

I think they will revert but i'd be devastated if they didn't. They wont be getting full sun morning to evening but about 7 to 8 hours solid for sure. A hair of shade here and there from tree branches. But yea, I will definitely harden them off.

 

[MountainBudz]

Yeah bro that is hours, increasing daily.

as long as you arent dipping below 12h darkness they should continue to veg
just keep a close eye on them at first to make sure they dont burn from too much sun

are you planting in containers or are they going straight into the ground?

 

[MountainBudz]

These will go straight into the ground, large well amended holes. Once they veg out and bush out some I will then take cuttings from them and I will put those in 20 to 50 gallon containers once they establish a decent root system.

I always cut from my early planted big girls.

I decided to turn down the timer from 24/0 to 18/6 for the next week or so before I put them out. Not sure if I will reduce the time down any further than that.

I always put my clones outdoors June 1st off of an 18/6 schedule and usually dont have any problems with flowering. But I wasn't sure on the 24/0. Hopefully it works!

Back again folks... I took these cuttings in the 2nd week of flower. It has been a month since I took them and they rooted, just noticed last night, lots of single bladed, new twisted retarded growth. So it is obvious they are re-vegging.

Now with a new question...

Since they are just now starting to reveg could I go head and throw them outside without working down the veg hours on the timer? I mean since they are transforming and im getting over 14 hours of daylight per day?
