New Outdoor Grow - 12/12?

[Jenny420]

Most of my growing experience has been with indoor grows with lights, fans, etc. But right now I am getting set up to put quite a few plants in an outdoor grow in AZ.
Having close to no outdoor grow experience let me know if I'm thinking correctly here. If I put my little ladies into veg in the next few days, (end of May) does that mean they'll be in veg from now till September 26, (true 12/12 light/dark) then go into flower?
If that is correct will that give me a harvest date of about December 1?

No. That is not correct. Where are you located? That makes a big difference.

In Cali, flowering starts August 1st-ish. If you have clones outdoors right now, they will start to flower. If you have seeds, they will work just fine. Messing with the light cycle indoors, then putting them outdoors can cause trouble. Your indoor light schedule should be the same as the day you want to put them outside. Hope this makes sense.

Flowering times listed with seeds don't mean much outdoors as far as counting days. They'll slowly slip into flowering around August and you'll have a few week window to harvest when they're ready.
