Emergency Help

Ok so I have been doing a grow and I just planted 8 clones into 1 gallon pots because they were getting zero veg but now in going to have to get rid of all my plants including the mother who is about 4-5 weeks into flower I would like to put them outside but is it to early and will the light change affect them.

depends on where you live. Here in California the ones in veg will be fine but the mother that is in flower will likely revert back to veg and end up pretty ugly.

You could always put the somewhere outside that gets shade early in the day, don't know how well it will work but if it's your last resort then you should go for it. I don't have much experience growing outdoors so you might wanna ask this question in the outdoors section.. good luck dude

How will she end up ugly? Just looks or will it hurt yield.

So I just have to wait longer like if they were outdoors I'm fine with that as long as they don't die or have any defects or go hermie.

naw i think you will be fine, are they fem'd seeds? there is more of a chance that they will hermi but that's not saying they will for sure. You wanna get them outside asap cause its gonna take 2-3 weeks to start to reveg, and the longer they veg the more buds you will have

Well the mother was fem seed but the other 8 are clones and have been on 12/12 for about a week, the mother is so close that I might just keep her somewhere else till she get harvested

When you reveg a flowering plant that is already producing buds the branch structure drastically changes. Each set of calyxes is technically at a node so when the plant reverts to veg you will end up with TONs of tiny branches. If the plant is small this can be beneficial as if provides many growth points, but if the plant is medium to large sized you will end up with a tangle of scrawny branches with tiny fluffy buds. Your chances of bud rot and powder mildew will likely be drastically increased due to the amount of vegetative material in contact with itself. Old calyxes from the first flowering also tend to expire and turn brown which gives an additional point of entry for bud rot and mildew problems.
