When is it time to move outside?

[DrTrauma]

Hello all,

I have been growing 12 plants in soil from clone in my indoor system with a a grow light for about 4 weeks on an 18/6 light cycle. The plants are healthy and are about 15 inches tall at this time. I am in Northern California with about 14 hours of daylight outside right now and I have a greenhouse ready to go.

Question One:
When is a good time to move them to their large outdoor pots inside the greenhouse?

Question Two:
I was hoping to see 2 crops this Summer, knowing I would need to control the light in the greenhouse to do this when it is time for flowering OR can I get away with feeding flower Nuts to push flowers without changing to a 12/12 outside?

Thanks so much for your input and happy May 5th!

To answer your first question...now is the time my man/woman. (hope you can keep your greenhouse cool)
As far as question 2: yes you will need to control the light cycle "flower nutes" alone wont do the trick. Block the light to get a 12/12 cycle, a few hours befor sun set and you should be golden!
Good luck on your growing season.

Thank you for your feedback and the great link! I moved and transplanted all of the ladies out in the greenhouse today, all organic soils in 15 gallon pots. I also got the watering system run and have it set to water at 6:00 Am and 6:00 Pm for 10 minutes each. The set up looks great. I will keep you posted as I go. The plants are so beautiful!

Thanks again!! :bongsmi:
