i start my plants inside and then put them out. i use 15 gallon pots or larger, some are smaller but they will transplant to the larger pots as they become available. With pots the soil tends to dry out quickly depending in the temps, keep a good eye on that (i water everyday when the temps get over 90). They should flower at the normal time, which should be sometime in August round here.
if you do those clones outside, you may want to put them in a shaded area till they start to root.

Good luck to you:hippy:
