I put a clone outside and it started flowering. I need some help. Anyone?

well if your plant was on light for 24 hours a day and then you put it outside an tricked the plant because you changed the time it was getting light. id say if its not too big put it back inside under a light for 18 hours for about 1 week the following week switch to 16 hours then put it back outside she should end up pretty nice.

Will this set up work? Have 3 floresent lights on her. Gonna try giving her 18 hours of light for 1 week and then 16 for a week. ? Or do you think I should just leave her outside and let nature do its thing. Anybody?:thumbsup:

yo yo cottonmouth and others,
this year I wanted my plants super big so I put out clones in early April also, as all of you have noticed they began flowering. my clones I put out between 6inches and 12inches.. Now im in the central Valley of Cali, and have noticed in the last couple days it seems the flowers are dying off. to me this is a good sign that the are turning back to vegetative growth. Also the plants seem to be growing taller as oppose to flowering. These are the two signs I have noticed of reverting, now the question for me is, like other members of the flowering plant familys should I debud the current flowers to promote new growth or should we just let the flowers die off as I assume they will.

observation is the key to understanding.

Marijuana plants respond in a predictable manner to changes in the lighting regimen. Given 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness each day, the plants change from vegetative growth to flowering. Inversely, plants which have been under the flowering regimen of 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness each evening, can be forced back into vegetative cycle using continuous lighting.

To force plants from flowering to vegetative growth, cycled light is replaced by continuous lighting. When the ripe buds are pruned from the plant, some vegetation, the lower portion of the bud, is saved. New growth will emerge from this vegetation within a few weeks of forcing.

The plants can be any size, but they must retain some leaf matter to regenerate.

this is dirty now,
so if the sun in the sky is increasing are plants will turn back to veg.

Thats a big bush.

Yea bro that will work fine. your plants lookin pretty good.

WELL I JUST TOOK ALL THE FLOWERS OFF OF ONE PLANT TO SEE HOWE IT GO'S BEFOR HACKING ALL OF THEM AND KILLING THEM HOPE ALL GO'S WELL

I have read on a few posts that if you prune off the top of the buds that you are going to be pruning off the most potent part of the plant and the plant will never reach that potential again.

I am just letting the flowers gradually die off and naturally turn back to veg. so far so good will post some pics tomorrow.

patience is a virtue, trust in the son.

How many hours of light does she get outside? If you get more than 12 she can go out. You are going to have fun with her because she is going to be BIG. Is she going in dirt or pots?
