My buddy has clones I'm going to put in the ground, around 6/10/18 possibly 6/13/18. I was wonder if it would be enough time to have a full season. Also If you can let me know the latest? Location: central coast California. 124ft x 24 greenhouse with raised beds with Notill soil.

I also would want to know how many hours of light is in that date I'm going to put the plants in.

I put mine out at 15.4 hours and it worked fine. It's pretty late to get a start in June but you will get something.
There is a sun calculator you can Google for your area. :)

Hi
Normally temp is important factor for translating your clOne
Watch for heat stress if you got a lot sun .
I’m living by LA (santa Monica)and hate to grow indoor cause we are growing outdoor for almost 18 yrs.( out of us)
But even still can’t find any high quality budds (out or in)like we have in middle East ,really i hope i could bring some with myself and showing how outdoor plants quality in my opinion stronger than other methods.
Thnx

You have to include Civil Twilight. That's the time before sunrise and after sunset when it's still light outside.

For my records, I use actual length of day. Just makes it easier to have everything on the same page. Down here in NW Florida I'm at 14 hours 4 minutes. I will max out at 14 hours 7 minutes on the 21st. Makes breaking in new strains a challenge.
 
I wanted to ask a question related to this post. I put out some rooted clones the beginning of May (the 6th I think). I had them with plants I had inside but as I only have one area to grow, and needed to switch them to flower, I put them outside as all I read said it was late enough, getting 14 hours in SoCal. The problem I am having is they are flowering. I can't move them inside. Will they go back to veg as the summer continues? They are not auto-flower and mother plant was from feminized seeds.
