Plant now and you might make something of the season, but not a lot...

A lot of people don’t realize that a lot of clones are kept under 24hrs of light, so even if you switch them to 15hrs of light (indoors or out) it’s enough of a shock to put them into flower mode temporarily.

When planting clones outdoors before mid June, if you want to be safe, it’s best to use a light and a timer to slowly bring them down over a week or two to the outdoor schedule, or put them in a pot indoors by a window and just leave the lights in that room on until 10 pm for a week or two, then switch outdoors.

Im in the ground now 20 beans and testing a few clones. The weather here in Nor Cal has been some what warm in the day time. Ill have a few cycles going to test.

I plant clones June 1st. Seeds can go out earlier but I start them indoors and put them out mid may.

My entire grow is completely fucking totaled because I listened to advice from so-called experts who invented this bullshit phenomena they call fimming. It does nothing except fuck up your growth and cause severe delays in the growth of branches and nodes. It also totally fucks up the shape, appearance and strength of the leaves. Then there's this business of when to plant. It's all wrong and now thanks to their bullshit I'll have barely any bud at all. That's if the spider mites don't come back and I have to throw everything away because yes I can kill the mites; I can fry those motherfuckers with SM-90 but what good will it do to have burnt up mite corpses still clinging to my buds?? Most of them fall off but enough don't.

Depends on your local micro climate and how far north you are. Also depends if you are doing seeds or clones - seedlings can be put out earlier. Clones you usually don't want to put out until mid or late May or they will flower on you. Don't make the mistake I see a lot of people do and put them out in March or early April only to have them killed by late frosts and storms. I usually shoot to plant by mid-May in Mendo, any earlier than that is too risky for the weather.

Thanks for the advice

I actually started the process of soaking my feminized seeds on 4/20 by pure coincidence.
I started in an egg carton to Dixie cup to planters. I harvested sept/oct. and they did very well. My sour diesel didn’t make it past a foot before it started to flower. Aside from that, all others did very very well.

Now.

Transition and harden off for a spring harvest.
Tales cuts off the bottom of that crop to create your next full term crop.

I like to save the weaklings andturn them into monsters for a full sun garden

Bro have you got that problem figured yet? I am the master of supercrop, monstercrop, pruning, lst, and fimming as well as defolition. I dont think a couple of those are spelt right, anyway.... " there will be no great success without failure" JLB. Take ten deep breaths and drink some water. You good? Tjat helps me to. Now what you need to understand is there are many factors that play into what most people call " butchering the plant" if all is not correct like temp, humidity , age, cycle , size, light, air, food, strain, most of all patience ! When you fimm , obviously you tried! Take into account the years of experience that is only trying to help you learn a very high skill level of growing, if you want to be successful try something else ! Like your own style, it took 25 years to know what I do and I still learn everyday. Keep um growing bud ! Dont try a technic on all , try several on alot and figure out your style. It takes time nobody and I meen nobody grows at a expert level when your a novice . take everybody addvice and mash it together and make ot your own. Happy growing bud I got ladies calling.
