Hi
All and all not bad looking. Color is good and no signs of any excess insect issue.
It might help get some answers and info if you were to mention where this outdoor grow is taking place. Is it Australia or South Africa? Don't need the city but at least the country might get some tips and suggestions from others in the same area.
It does look like you ran into some issues because of weather. Maybe not enough sunlight because they went out too early? Sort of like they went into a re-vegetating stage as the days became longer?
If you are in an area that has started the summer season then they will be getting a good amount of sunlight every day and if there is enough soil in the pots and enough fertilizers/nutrients you could end up with some really decent sized plants.
I am thinking along the lines of having 7 to 10 gallon (28 to 40 liter) pots with any half way decent soil measured out and not just going by some size code on the bottom of the pot.
Is there a problem that has started up that would indicate a need for Magnesium? If not and you want a program to help prevent a problem later on then it might be better to use a combined Calcium-Magnesium product.
Too much Magnesium will eventually stop the plant from being able to take in the Calcium it needs. And too much Ca will do the same for Mg. Getting a premixed Cal-Mag product will be better because any decent fertilizer company will balance the ratio between the two to avoid the complications.

SmokingWings, thanks for th oughts, I feel you are correct on the issues that the clones have had to endure to get to this stage.
My location is on the West coast of the south island New Zealand. 4 weeks into summer.
The some clones did indeed go to flower or pre flower stage shortly after they began rooting, some more than others, The weather from the end of November until now had been very wet and dreary, so much so that I removed them from the ground and potted them.
Last season Magnesium deficiency became a major problem, as i initially misdiagnosed it as overfeeding.
I have just done a foliage and soil application of a plant tonic containing Organic sugar chelate plus iron and trace elements.
I will continue to grow them in pots most of the pots are 20lt or 4.5gal.
I have a few in 40lt but because the soil in the pots very seldom dries out due to our rain forest climate, 20lt seems a good size givsn our conditions.
The soil ph was a little low so i applied a small amount of lime.
Yes i think a calmag supplement is needed and I will attend to that tomorrow and reassess the situation about the second week of January.
Thanks again
