clones... southern california... outdoors... too late?

[xecutive]

I am planning to throw a few clones outdoors around mid august... would it be too late? How much growth could I expect in socal? could I make up for growth with number of plants?

Starting from clones, you should get SOMETHING. We here up north are limited by first frost- a problem you Californians don't suffer.
Yield? How long is a piece of string? :D

cali is a big state n yes stinkyass many areas do frost n yes outdoors in the northern hemisphere it is too late but u should grow inside now or plant n learn

Blackberry, the poster SPECIFIED soCal. Only very high elevations get frost.

Stay the HELL away from me. Stinkyass? What crawled up yours?

At first I was thinking it might be too late, but seeing my friends clones mature outdoors tell me now would be fine, but not too much time to waste. Latest i'd plant would be another few weeks. Normally temps around here don't get very low, and the weather stays very similiar for the most part.

It would depend where in Southern California. If you are at Lake Arrowhead or Tejon or Cabazon forget about it. Are you in the desert? If you are in Thermal or Indio go for it. I grow year around on the central coast in a greenhouse. Cloning never stops!

wat up dr bloor. it really does depend on where you live. i grow all year round up in sacramento and we get frost all winter... im about to harvest my summer crop soon and i planted my winter crop on the first of august...as i do every year. honestly Dr. my homies and i can't tell a difference in quantity or quality of the plants/buds. october is when the first frosts start to settle in so by planting them early or mid august they can mature until then and better cope with the cold. early on we noticed that when left on the back patio in the sun during winter the frost would cause problems...so a couple of years back during a shroom trip we had the idea to make a small platform in our redwood tree high off the ground. fits about 8 -10 plants.(50 ft off the ground)very easy tree to climb. anyway as soon as they were put up there absolutely no frost problems and we havent had ANY probs. since. also very good coverage and no bug problems.. id throw em outside 2morrow if possible. good luck!

That is so good that you grow there year around. However you do not get the strange weather that can happen in Southern California that can make a brass monkey shiver.
How do you deal with all the fog?

in SoCal I had a seed left and it grew only so much and went kind of dormant it appeared,then come Feb starting growing again?When u get below 50 is when u get into trouble,right?So if ur close to the coast then u don't get that often and very little frost.
