Hello everyone,
My mind is blown. I live in Southern California, and only grow 6 plants at a time, per California state law. I know how to grow indoors, and I know how to grow outdoors from seed. My issue is growing clones outdoors. This is what I've experienced, and it's killing me:
I start the clones inside, get them strong and healthy under a 18/6 light cycle. I keep the 18 hours that the lights are on to the same schedule as the natural light cycle of the sun (adding a couple of hours before and after sunrise, to get to 18 hours total).
Then I move the strong clones outside, and here is the issue:
1) I tried moving the clones outside mid-April, and they instantly started flowering.
2) I tried moving the clones outside in mid-May, and they instantly flowered.
3) Then I tried to move the clones outside in early-June, and they still instantly flowered.
4) Then I tried mid-June, and they still instantly flowered?
I mean WTF is going on here? I know people grow huge plants from clones in So Cal, but I simply can't get any outdoor veg cycle from clone. The bastard clones always flower the instant I put them outside! My outdoor area gets crushed with full sun, and I have tried a bunch of different (high quality) strains,....but always get the same result!
Can anyone offer some insight on this??? It's driving me insane, and ruining my yield!!! The clones always grow great outside, I just can't get any veg time going to max my yield.
