Well are these clones or seedlings how old are they?

anybody i gotta make a decision soon
Dont rush your decision you could lose a month.

i would just put them all outside and wait until they show you their sex to make your selection.
If you follow this advice you will need to bring them back inside and get them back in veg. I would say a month that will take. If they are old enough you should be able to post pics that are showing the node and the primordia hopefully there will be a pistil also.Good Luck dirrtyd

Is This statement true?

'You are going to get your best results from seeds. I wouldn't waste anytime with clones except for a few plants just for novelty smoke. Seeds reign supreme outside. Clones are best for indoors'

I wouldn't totally agree with this statement because alot depends on the grower. I have gotten good results both ways when I start early enough. Later this year I will put a plant out end of June I should still get a QP off of it when it is done. dirrtyd

to make my statement clearer above, i personally wouldn't sex them, i would just let them sex when its time 2. (especially if your gonna place them outside to flower, like dirty d said, you could lose a month- and that could be a killer.)
i haven't done clones yet, but its pretty common knowledge that seed plants yield more (outdoors anyway, im not an indoor grower) couple of ounces for a clone and closer to a pound or more on seed plant (on a decent grow) but theres always exceptions, genectics, soil, light, ect. What i hear from fellow growers is clones are more prone to get diseases than seed plants, but its not from my personal experience.

Not sure about your common knowledge. But I know for a fact everything I grew clones and seeds last year produced a lb dry or better. Matter of fact had one clone produce 2.5 lbs dry. I have yet to only grow a couple of ounces on a plant outside. I would check your mehods stay tuned I will show you what a lb plant looks like. Or you can search my threads I'm sure I have some from last years grow pics that is. As for your last statement you should watch where you get your clones from also spray them as soon as you get them.Again these are from my growing experiences here in the Bay Area can't speak for where you are or anyone else. Good Luck dirrtyd

i haven't fooled with clones yet but i know ppl who have and their yields have ranged from 2 ounces to 1lb and some ounces (same strain, location, ect) also the strain isn't a well known one. (but they use it every yr) i really didn't know clones competed so much with seed plants, near TN where i am seed plants are king (near 2 lb's). How much sun are/were your plants getting dirty? I plan on trying clones whenever i buy from seedbanks (1 or 2 yrs) so i can have a mother plant

Well seed would have to be King that way close knit quite community back there. Sun lets just say when it comes up and set it is in my backyard. So yes I can cater to my plants but I generally just water once my soil mix is done.dirrtyd

yum, that's a lot of sun. Usually we go for 6 hrs of direct light here (around 10-4) however i have one lot that gets FULL sun, they'll be 2 females there so im hoping its my biggest yield yet.

Well the weather is good so time to start cleaning up the holes for the babies I will be documenting this piece with pics. I should have this task done by the end of the week. The gurls that will be going out side are looking good cant wait. The plants in the greenhouse are doing good a couple have finished so thats a good thing the smoke aint bad at all. The soil that is cooking to go in the holes is smelling good at this time it will be mixed in with the soil coming out of the holes.dirrtyd

? When would be a good time to put them out when the daylight turns to 14 hours? Where you plan on posting those pictures on this thread or a different one

If you were to put them out starting from seed now they should go straight through with no interruption. I will posting the pics here on my thread that way folks will be able to see what size holes I use and get lbers. That three foot four foot mess is overkill in my opinion. I see folks in raised beds grow trees. dirrtyd
