Have I missed the window for the '09 Outdoor Season?

LST will massively increase your yeild, but yeah, definitely handy for keeping your plants out of sight.

but if you Grow in small pot at first when you move to a new pot after the veg stage the roots will go mad with the new space available and shoot out quicker then normal repoting.
So yeah start small little pot like your cup thing ( make sure plastic cup is black or really dark so roots dont get the light from white cups.and leave plant in there as long as you can. Repot 1 week before 12/12 starts then your plant should bloom quicker and more efficient . just a tip :)

I started the season like that. I went from cup to bigger pot. Some went from cup to wild, but thats different thing. I re potted when they were just about root bound. I see them everyday, so when i saw them slowing down, I re potted. They left the cups on june 1st, but after each pot they left, the roots were touching the pot. The growth just sorta begins to slow dramatically.

I let the plant get dry and re pot in new soil. After the re pot they freakin take off fast. The new growth was incredable. In about 2-3 weeks i would re pot again. Same thing man. The growth explodes. One plant is behind the other but the finshed pot was transplanted 4 times counting the cup. Its now in a 5 gallon bucket to finsh. I put some gravel in the bottem for drainage, then a mix and then all soil. The other one is waiting to go into its last pot. Im using just a bigger pot for the last one.

But i think ya got time. Ask a pro, but id top it at 3rd node for faster side branches, which would get ya a few more small buds.

Good luck man:rasta:

the last plant I had that got found was exactly the same. I had it in a cup and I saw it everyday, so when I I saw it slow down I checked the roots and the were very root bound. Also, the plant had been topped (by a bug or animal) a few day's earlier and the growth had completely stopped. Once I transplanted growth just started shooting out from everywhere and it started to bush out and show pre flowers real fast. The side shoots were perfect for clones! That plant was very vigorous though.

I'll probably top just a few of my strongest plants to see what they do seeing as my time is running short. I definitely have enough time especially if there are warmer days in November. Hopefully they'll veg. throughout Aug. and they'll be mature enough to flower through Sep./Oct.

If outdoor plants in really sunny weather are showing small pre-flowers but are only about 1 1/2 feet tall, does this mean that I am going short season? Can I put em back into veg at all? I am not sure what to do, and any help would be great.
Thanks a lot,

you could put them in veg. if you took them indoors but you'd risk "hermie'ng" your plant. If it's small and showing pre flowers just give it those final veg. nutrients to give it a boost before it goes into flowering.
