When can I put these clones outside?

[Sprite]

I have 6 AK-47 clones newly rooted. Just potted them up in 1g containers. I am growing indoors in soil, but wanted to experiment with one outside. My goal with putting one outside is just to have some medicine sooner. Right now, they are all vegging under a 250 watt hps in a closet.

Question is, how long should I wait to move one outside? Can I just put it out now? I have checked our local frost dates and I'm good for several months, so there is plenty of time to finish. Also, what is the smallest sized pot I can use? I want to keep the outside one small, so can I leave it in the 1g and top it to keep it short? I plan to let the others veg for at least a month and they will spend their lives indoors.

Thanks a million!

I would put the pot out in the shade for at least 4-5 days getting bits of sun. Then after its a bit used to the sun, move it into full sun for 2 hours, then under some shade for a couple days. Then full sun and as much as possible. As far as pot size, you will need to re pot at least once, but you can bend the plant over and tie the top to the pot to keep her short, yet still get the yield. Really doesnt matter if ya top or fim, the roots will out grow the gallon pot in a month id say, maybe month and a half. But bending over the stalk will keep it at about 3', thats what i did with my WW i flowered early, she is doing great, well everything but the bad re pot i ask someone to do, shoulda done it myself. Any questions hit my thread in here, il be around.

Thanks for your help, man. You think I should start getting it used to the outdoors now, or give it a couple weeks indoors? The way I see it, the sooner I got green, the better!
