always used seeds.trouble with 1st cuttings

For many yrs.ive grown with just seeds.always very happy in the fall.this yr I also was given 20blue cheese cuttings.when I got them they were in peat cups and kinda of a mess.I put them in bigger pots and happy frog.set the lights at 18/6.same as my friend had them.after 10 days that started showing female preflowers.after 2more weeks still same.so I said screw it.I will get them ready to go out side.cut the light back over a weeks time to 16.5.so as of today they have been showing sex for 5/6 weeks.should I just say hell with it.and put them outside.or try something else under lights?

Was planning on going out with them june 5ish

If they weren't auto's.......stay the course, I've never had a plant go full flower on 18/6..good luck

clones show preflowers because they are sexually mature. If you want to put them outside check how many hours of daylight you get in your area if it is over 15 then your golden.

Glad to here that.I see so many posts were people put cuttings out early and had problems. I was thinking I had problems before even getting the damn things out

One thing that I would add is not to be concerned if your plant begins to show some very odd growth patterns. This would include strangely circular leaf growth and shoots. This will depend on how far into the flower cycle they go before reverting to a vegetative growth state. Let them go and they will be fine as had been said before. Good Luck and Happy Growing

PS Here is a link to a very reliable daylight calendar using your zip code as stated earlier the flowering process will begin somewhere just under 15 hours of light for most varieties so supplemental light will be necessary if you want to put them out sooner.
