However if you put them out in April, sometimes those blips of overcast/rainy days can stunt them a tad or convince them to flip, again this is genetic dependent and location...
I've seen some varietals not mind the photoperiod change and just grow like crazy, but if you know the phenotype or genetic likes to flip at the slightest stress or rootboundness...etc..
I'd just play it safe and put them out later or put em in the greenhouse now and provide some supplemental lighting...
No, use an interrupted photoperiod. In fact, you can use lighting outdoors to delay/prevent flowering as well. But, you know this, don't you?Good replys!
But what about clones that where rooted in 24 lite?
If I switch them to say.. 16/8 for a few weeks, then put them out in 14/10 sunlight
would they adjust?
Honestly, in SoCal, weather is not a worry (seriously), and because we're talking about seed starts the photoperiod is not a worry. I'm several hundred miles NORTH of SoCal, my son grows in SoCal (using light -/+ techniques), I've always put my seedlings out early and the worst that happens if they're snowed on is growth stalls. They do NOT flip into flower, they do not die because it's <65F.
I've been doing seed starts in the Sierra Nevada outside since I started growing. I have yet to lose one. I've put plants outside in December hoping they would die in the cold, snow and frost, only to find them the following March GROWING.
