had to transplant outdoor!!! advice,comments??!!!

gotta question for any experienced growers out there. i started a small grow indoors, due to security concerns i was forced to remove my plants (4 G13 Power Skunk, and 2 Seedsman White Widow). the widow had been on 12/12 for about a week, and the PS was still on its 3rd week of veg... so now where i live there is around11h 45m of daylight each day now, there will be like almost 13h a day approximately 8 weeks from now. do you they will produce for me?? i still dont have any preflowers and they have been outside for a week, but they are growing vigorously

what is your climate like?

70-85 during the day, 58 at night....colds fronts come through every couple weeks or so, never below 40

when the tempature is real cold like at night put garbage cans over them kinda like a blanket it hold heat. but your plants might not get to big either if its cold out

put them out under a cover so they can get to use to the temperature drop then transplant into the ground

appreciate all your advice guys. when i transplant into ground, should i put more promix into the hole? cuz the ground is mostly sand where i am at-near mangroves and the seashore. i have them in their 3gal pots with promix sitting on some low foiliage right now...

so heres a few pics from the site... i gave em 3/4 strength nutes 2 days ago-the "praying for mj" leaves were already there b4 i fed, but i got a little yellowing and some down pointed tips after i fed. i thought these girls could take some nutes-theyve been on 1/4 strength since they 1 week old. guess i should go down to half stregth after a good plain watering or two??

Overall they look pretty good. Maybe a little leggy due to light penetration but subject to change as the season progresses. You might also consider doing some topping/pruning to keep the plant more compact and promote more bud-sites. The surrounding vegetation is also competing for water,light and nutrients. It may be a little less stealthy, but I would knock back some of that stuff with a pair of shears/pruners so that your girls are the dominant plants in the area. The camo-vegetation should easily grow back, then place a 1"-2" layer of mulch around the base to keep moisture levels consistent and, reduce weeds growing near the base. They don't appear to be necrotic/chlorotic (nutrient deficient).

yea, they were tite little balls until i put them outside-2 days and the quadrupled their height- swear to god... you are mentioning mulch and knocking back the vegetation-you mean do this after i transplant?? wont the "salty" conditions be very bad??? i was thinking of just leaving em in their pots for another 8 weeks or so til they hopefully get done flowering

When you say "salty" are you referring to alkaline soil conditions? If so, I think I would just leave them in the pots or transplant them to larger pots depending on how big the current pots are, maturity of root systems etc. as it might take too long to get the pH turned around. Have you done a basic soil test? There is so much stuff growing around your plants I assumed they were already in the ground.

i mean salty like, theres a shoreline 3 hundred feet away from it....

well i got a little update today... both of the White Widow plants have female preflowers (feminised seeds). im just hoping for no hermies due to the stress of having their light cycle reversed when i moved em outdoors. no sex on the 2 Power Skunk yet... do you think this yellow is a N def??? its only the bottom leaves

Not likely to be ntirogen deficient. Slow growth, pale green leaves and loss of overall plant vigor are signs of that problem. You mentioned that they were growing pretty fast when you first put them out in the sun so that may or may not rule that problem out. More likely to be related to the stress of being moved outside. If it is confined to the lower leaves only , I wouldn't sweat it. Give them some time to adjust to the new environment. Get a inexpensive pH meter and post results. That close to the shore makes me a little nervous about salt spray/toxicity etc.
