I just got my clones

I wonder how long it will take for the plants to start in with some rapid growth now that the roots have room to stretch out.

Also I haven't feed them anything up to this point, it's been just what they came in and for farm ocean forest in red solo cups.
Now they get more ocean forest which has to last till I get paid on the 1st and order some AN ph perfect sensi grow and bloom part A and B.
I just don't want to have to PH anything right now. Plus I'm getting shoulder surgery in a few weeks and it will be up to someone else to feed and water them.
I tried to hold off to go the water only route but just couldn't get the funds for it. So as far as I know the next best option is PH perfect by Advanced nutes.

Are those the same clones?? What happened? Did you go to Oakland or SJ Harborside?

I got my plants in pots today. I used 15 gallon tan smart pots with fox farm ocean forest soil. And I'm planning to feed advanced nutes.
I was originally planning to use kind soil and ocean forest but it was going to cost me something like $485 for just the kind soil alone.
My mom was supposed to buy the soil and I was going to pay her back but she would never order it.
If I knew I was going to be using bottled nutes I could have planted months ago.
Because of all this my plants are small. About 10" or so and already budding. View attachment 4351916

Yeah same clones. Oakland Harborside

Did you adjust their daylight hours slowly to match outdoors or just throw them outside? Thats probably why they're budding.

Clones are where its at mate
Clone only for the win.

Already budding? I think u should replace them with new clones if u want to salvage this season.

Damn. Once my clones go outside I add lighting at night so they don’t flower on me..because it’s happened before.
Do you have any lights to add out there?

No I don't have any lights to add.

Why not grow from seed? You’re spending a ton for those clones. At least from seed you can put them outdoors from the start and don’t have to worry about early flower onset if you’re in the right climate. I’m getting about 14.5 hours of sun here in socal. Still not too late to start outside. I just had a few White Octane OG pop in solo cups outside, where they will stay for the next four months.

People who use clones should wean their plants off the light.

All of my plants were purchased in March and weaned down to a 14.5 on 9.5 off light schedule before going out on mothers day.

I like the guarantee of getting females.

I think my plants have gone back into veg. I don't see as much hairs as were once there.

Huh? You can buy seeds that are guaranteed female. I only buy feminized seeds and have never had herm issues (reputable breeders)

I got my base nutes ordered so Ill be starting to feed them soon.

I got my nutes today and gave the plants their first feeding. I went with half strength.
Each plant got two gallons. half oz a and half oz b of grow for two gallons. Heres a shot of the bloom.

Two days after first nutes at half strength.

Yeah, Caterpillars. The number one thing I hate about growing outdoor. Hard to say if it's the worst part about growing, either caterpillars or trimming, I hate both.

What are methods to dealing with the caterpillars??
