Clones from bagseed moms and two dispensary beans. All plants are flowering now, bit my mind wants these 5 week old clones to get a touch bigger.
Im asking the outside guys, are these going to stretch? Keeping ten on our deck with supplemental light to stay in veg.
I want these to at least yield a 1/4 to half ounce.
Does this seem to be achievable?
If not, steer me in the right direction please.

Most are in 1 gal, would it be prudent to up pot the ones in gallon pots/bags to 2 gallons, to give them room to bloom/grow? More watering if they stay where they are, but....

If they just started to flower they will still stretch 2-3x the size at start

These havent started to flower yet, on the porch with light till 11pm.
Everyone else is starting outside.
So im.good to.let them.flower and maybe expect up to 14 grams each at this.size? Kinda of a noob to outside here on the East coast at 40° lat
 
If I didn't make myself clear, im wanting 7 to 14 grams dry, each.
Also, i have three that are absolute bushes, and am wondering about LARF buds, and whether to defol heavy in a cpl weeks, or let them ride.
Soil is decent but have to supplement twice a month to keep thwm strong.
Pic below is 30" high and 48" wide. The other two bushes are similar in structure.

Appealing to the outside peeps, yeah, they are growing OK.
Im asking if the short clones should veg another week outside in the gorgeous sun then let them flower, or, are they big enuff in the 1 gallon pots to finish up producing 1/2 oz each.
Do i let the clones go per nature's cycle, or let them veg another week or two. Any discernable differences in yield?
 
Cool, was wondering if the extra veg time OUTSIDE would be worth it.
Any extra veg growth i assume equals more bud.
Spent 3k on my girls medicine this year, figure i can make that up, but still like to see what is coming through the dispensary.
GlueCookie seeds are here, so i guess a winter grow thing is in order. Fuck, i hate being responsible
 
I know they'll make stuff. Just want some experienced geowers to say, yeah, go another foot in height, or, let them ride.
 
Larf is a myth perpetuated by cannasellers.

Seriously tho. Dont cut on your plants. Let them flower and do their thing. You just try and stay out of their way. If there are leaves not serving rhe plant. She will drop them on her own.

Let the sun do its job and you just wait and watch.

Ypu went from 'I want monster plants' to 'should I chop them up', very fast.
 
Outdoors all those plants should do well over your quoted weight. A lot matters how long you can let them keep flowering. The longer you put off the start the longer they will take to finish.

Pot size is my only question. It is going to limit what those plants can do outdoors. If they are flowering now it is a bit late. Still up potting to 3 to 5 gallon pots would hurt.
 
Here they are today, all that are in 1 gal pots getting uppotted to, well, something bigger than what they are currently in. Could be a reusable vinyl shopping bag, a worn out purse, empty corn bag(we have livestock), a bucket or a defunct cooler, who knows!!!
Inch of rain last night, or 25cm to evryone else using a singular measuring system. These will stay in veg "one more week" then literally out to pasture, lol.
Chicken ate my GlueCookie seedling, glad it was only one and have 7 more.
Anywho, heres a pic.......

See the one in back all wilted against the house. Our red heeler puppy dug her up last month. She's been under CFL since but wasnt recovering quick enough, so i did the ethical thing and yanked her. It was one of two beans from dispensary bud a friend gifted me, no idea what kind but she was a good plant. Great color, not fussy, good shape. Have 3 or 4 clones of her, will keep one overwinter.
Here's the other dispensary girl, 7gal pot and starting to flower a bit. Three front plants in black pots above are her clones, keeping one of those also.

Ones on deck are staying in veg. Second pic is out in the yard away from extra light. Maybe a vid will help

If you are in the US and on the 40th latitude on the east coast then I figure that you are about a month (3rd week of August) before flowering starts. Up till that time the plant will grow and grow. It will send out new stems & branches and new leaves. Then it will start to form flowers. Before long, probably by mid or late September all it is doing is forming flowers and all those stems with flowers already on them will start stretching.

Now is a good time to start reading up on the different styles of training the plants if you do not want them to get tall. I have seen photos on this message board showing plants growing in 5 gallon pots which have gotten up to 6 foot high (not including the height of the bucket). If all goes well you will get more than 14 grams per plant.
