Anything i can do to keep from flowering too fast

I screwed up on the outdoor season and couldnt get clones until recently. So being that i threw 5 Candy Lands outside (8-22-16) in 5 gallon fabric pots with Recipe 420 Soil and 2 tsp. of inoculate per clone. I noticed growth/improvment even today but im somewhat worried ill flower too FAST. Anything i can do to keep them growing a little bit longer even this late in the season?

Supplemental lighting on them outdoors.

With adding the supplimental light will just throwing some basic cfls over them work? Just so they think its still day time.

That would work. I use a timer to turn them on in the morning then off for the day time and on again in the afternoon for a few hours. That way I'm not wasting electricity.

You need to interrupt their "dark time" .

It's all about the PFR and PR. If you're interested, Ed Rosenthall covers that pretty well in one his latest books.

Yes...even outdoor solar lights will work.

Read about the "gas lantern" technique. As long as you interrupt the flow of hormomnes, she will stay in veg. Have some CFLs spark up at 2 am for an hr and that will keep her from flowering. (Works well indoors) u sure of outdoors.
I'd be nervous having a random light spark up in my backyard in the middle of the night.

IMO: let her be. She will do her thing and you will learn a lot for next year. Last year my crops were three feet. Now I have LST monsters bent at a 45°-60° angle and STILL 7 feet tall.

Ill have the cfls setup today on a timer. But as far as the clones are they have grown awesomely these past few days with the light they receive. Water @ 8 am and 7 pm. Time will tell with how these CandyLands will come out.

Why waste time with the lights double up on them clones

Forgot to get pictures today. But here are the clones now. Theyve grown quit abit and look fairly healthy. Would it be worth considering doing LST even if these wont veg much longer?
