What is the light cycle before you put them out. You have to gradually lengthen light duration to prevent premature flowering. It could be somethig else, im no expert.
well the mother was on 24 hrs of light and so was the clones i put them out side becuase i realy didn't have room inside to keep them, not shure but may be its cuz there in a shady area only get a few hours of dircect sun light a day,would try to find a better spot but to many choppers flying over for that, but then again i quess this could be a good thing being able to flower out doors any time i want i will let em veg bigger this time and see how they do

Yeah it can be a good thing.....
I would imagine it is because you had them on 24 hours light... Then when you stick em out the light cycle was too short and they flowered.....
If you want to be able to put some out without them flowering put them on 18/6 for a couple of days then go down an hour every couple of days b4 you put em out....
If you can find a better spot for the others too it would be a good idea....
As for the choppers.... Sounds like your plants are pretty small and a chopper would have a hard time spotting 1 or 2 2 foot tall plants.... :wink:
My .02 cents..

I had 2 Schrom and 2 Bogglegum plants that were bout 2 foot tall Clones that were on 18/6 before going out. They did exactly the same thing. They eventually started reverting back to veg but at that point I just pulled them. Didn't think they would yeild very well after flowering then reverting then flowering again... I can't explain what happened to mine either. I just assumed it was due to shock from going out in the heat without acclimating first. On a good note what little Schrom I got off of them was thumping good.
Better luck next time.
Mo,

there are a few things that decide this!! 1 what side of the compass you placing the plants on !! meaning were does the sun come up ,, and go down at in relations to your placement of the plants! if i place my plants to catch the e and w directions it will get sun all day ! sun runs over the plants and stayes on them all day !! if i plant were the sun crosses the on n and s it is only going to get a lil bit of sun! and then start to flower faster !!
then you have to ask ! are you planting on mountains or hills !! or is the land flat!!
im in a flat land so to speak so i have plenty of light!! are you planting in dense woods!, brushes, ect! .. are the plants in full sun at noon !? they need to be in the strongest part of the day witch is noon ,, or 10 am to 3pm @ this time of day they nedd to be in full sun !! no shade!
i plant plants all over to get crops sooner , or i'll plant sativas with the running sun ,,and on the backside or the south side of the mountains or hills .. i would pput indicas in valleys!
but there is alot more to this but placement is key!! seedlings do better for growing outdoors!! seedlings react better to increasing light!! cuttings an clones will also ,, but not as fast as a seedling!! and most clones are matured anyways so the preflowering is faster!! sometimes it can saty in preflower if it gets shocked , but they come around or stay flowering!!
mostly it needs the sun for a great deal of the day rather than shade!

well for da choppers there not looking for weed but i am on flat land with very dence brush and trees most of the sun they get is from about 11 to 4 but yeah i need to find a more sunner spot but kind of hard but for now i just want em to veggs till time for them to flower i will try adjusting the light down before i put them out side i used the same spot last year but with a diffrent strain didnt have this proublem but they did herme on me lol if not for them dam chopper i would plant in the trees that fell from the hurricanes but for now i got em kind of tuck in the tree and brush line in a very small clearing may be 100 sq ft at most

so whats your longitude and latitude? I'm near 31 by 90 give or take a degree or two. On march 21, 2006, the sun was directly over head,at noon, March 21, when there was 12 hrs dark by 12 hrs light... I had plants out that had been running 18/6, near the 28th of march. These plants had been flowering before under the lights and when I put them out they continued to flower until the plants decided that it was time to start vegging again.. maybe I noticed it first near early May. I even had buds large enough to cut, the buzz is light but it suprised me how good it was however the smell was actually much better than the buzz.... I can still see the bud sites that I didnt cut they appear to be a denser amount of foliage far down the main stem... currently 5' X 5' and looking better everyday.
