not enough daylight hours in the day yet. about mid may for clones. to hot for you by then maybe or use shade cloth out there if you grow in prime season. You might try putting them back under the T-5 for 4-5 hrs a day after the sun goes down or before it comes up. They might all ready be in Flower mode though.

TWS is right, they will most likely start to flower and reveg if you dont add some extra light after sun dies down.. I wouldnt add much more than what nature gives at peak daylight which is around 14-15 hours on west coast. I just planted seeds so they sprout after the last frost and by the time they would be old enough to flower, daylight is long enough to keep em vegging.

Other than that man, the plants do look really nice and healthy!

I just put out some teens out yesterday that I expect to flower and harvest by the end of may.
I put out clones last year around this same time and they started to flower, got about 3 weeks in, then revegged. Ive never had luck with a spring harvest but perhaps i havent tried early enough. All the seeds i start around end of march always end up sexing at about a month then BAM they start to grow 2-3 inches a day.. They say mid 70s is best for MJ but it seems outdoor, they really do enjoy the socal heat. I have one sprout that doesnt even have true leaves yet that sat outside in direct sun all day today in the mid 90's and I was expecting a fried little raisin sprout when i got home from work but to my surprise, she looks lush green and happy. If they are introduced to high temps as young ones then it seems like they are more resilient in the low 100s during summer. Gotta love outdoor growing :) End rant

Yes it will still be potent bud, but you need to trim off the flowers that started once it reverts to veg otherwise you will end up with mold. It will branch like fucking crazy and give you an ass load of leaves Which makes it very hard to control IMO. Just ride it out, worst comes to worst you have a little bud earlier than expected. You should start some seeds around now and those will grow for fall harvest

i checked on the girls this morning and saw some pre flowering on the cherry og.. i had just fimmed the plants so i was wondering if that was bad? i read that i was supposed to let them recoverr for a couple weeks before flowering...

That's only to reduce stress so they don't herm but I wouldn't worry about it. They will be fine, but if they do reveg, you really have to keep up with maintenence and haircuts otherwise you will have problems.

good thing you fimmed them,,,"fucking I missed " :mrgreen:

You should get some more clones, be sure to ask the club how many hours of light they have them on. 24 hrs suck. any ways take them home and vegg them on your light as close to sun up time and vegg them on 18 hrs and ween them down 10 mins a day until mid may and they will go outside fine. Just put them in the shade for the first couple of days outside .

Grow some monsters . :weed:
