Throwing clones outdoors

I am wanting to put a couple clones outdoors but i'm having a quandary I was hoping some of you could help me solve. They are on 24hr lights on. Outside its around 16 hours of daylight. Would it be better to veg inside for a couple weeks then throw them outside or would it be better to just throw them out right now. I understand that im not going to get shit for yield. I was going to throw them in the garbadge any ways so might as well not let them go to waste.

Any input welcome as long as its not negative.
Hope all of you have a nice day thanks/.

Put them outside asap in the ground or big pots.

With clones, they can't handle the sun very well right away so stick them in the light coming thru your window for a few days then pop em outside preferably at sundown.

I had a buttload go outside and a few completely bleached all old growth and nearly died

i agree with erie ^^^^^^^
i always take my clones outside in the sunlight for about an hour or so for a few days in a row to slowly introduce them into the hot sun, especially this time of year. I dont know where you are geographically but here the sun is still hot mid day....

I hate throwing clones in the trash, I feel like i am throwing one of my kids in the dumpster.....lol

^^^^^ Couldn't agree more, with the above! With the advice about hardening them off a bit before "throwing 'em out there" the UV light will fry them fragile young leaves. And with the sentiment about throwing viable clones in the trash...child killer!...lol They will need some attention, but unless you ignore them or run into bad luck, they should yield some bud :weed:

Good Luck :peace:

Ya, I made this mistake this year. Bought a bunch of fresh cuts and threw them right into my greenhouse. They all got stunted and took a couple extra weeks to really get going

These were my autos I'm ganna do the same thing with 30 more clones (at the end of the year so basically a auto now) you can still pull a nice harvest from a lot of small plants it's like a sea of green method but outside
Big pots and keep them happy the pots below are 10 gallons.

And yea obviously slowly harden them off into the sun

I do this when they first get out into Dixie cups put them out in direct sun a little longer each day 4 hrs then 5 then 6
By the end of the week they can handle full days. (Expect a couple really week ones to die so take extra clones)
