Switching from indoor to outdoor

I am going to buy some clones that are under 24 hours of light. they are only going to be about 3 weeks old. If i switch them to outdoors, about 12-12 light cycle, will this automatically make them flower? Or will they keep growing a while before flowering?

And also, i have 4 plants that have been flowering for 4 weeks now. They are about 5 weeks away from being finished. What if i moved them outside? Would they continue to flower for a few more weeks? Thanks for your help!

Hi Buzz..

If the plants receives 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness, they will start to flower ...

Rooted (HEALTHY) clones that are put into 12/12 can still produce quality buds without any vegging time (18-6).

cheers

What about the plants that have been flowering for 4 weeks. What if i were to put them outside? How long would they flower until ready? I have about 5 weeks left under light. But what if I put them outside? what would happen?

if they are indica dominant they should be fine. with the days and nights how they are currently they should be ok. i'd do it.

Thanks. And one more thing. They have been flowering for 4 weeks now. If i do move them outside, how much longer will they flower for? And will they produce a lot more bud than if they were kept indoor? Thanks! I appreciate the help!

The amount of flowering time to ripen is genetic, indoor or outdoor, it will total the same. If it's a 9 week ripener, then you will have 5 more weeks outside.

With the light of the sun, the buds will swell much larger than under the lights.
