Clones outdoors?

Last grow season, my friend and i bought 5 clones from a dispensary in so cal. Every one of them started budding at a foot tall. Then 2 weeks ago, we wanted to try it one more time and so we bought one grape ape clone. The first week it did not grow, until about 5 days ago it it started growing fast. But then today, ive noticed that it has started to flower. Is it possible to grow clones outdoors without having them bud at a foot high? (I'm thinking that the clones were probly under a lot of hours of light compared to my spot that gets 11 hours of direct sunlight. *also when we purchased this clone, we asked the guy at the dispensary if this clone would grow tall, and he replied of coarse, it will do very well right now outdoors. We believed him, and now we have a foot tall plant thats budding...) any advice? has anyone grown clones outdoors before???

if your plants get more than 12 hours of uninterupted darkness 9 times out of 10 your plants are gonna start flowering, some require more some require less, check the sunrise and sunset times in ur location and see how much sun you are getting during the day

The plant doesn't need direct sunlight. It's best to have direct sunlight but really like 8 hours is enough. The plant knows when the sun goes down even if not in direct light. The only reason your plant will flower now is because it's early April and not mid May.

was the clones running 24/0? I notice if they go from 24/0 to outdoors, they flower right away. what I do, and others I know do, is gradually bring the light down in increments indoors gradually then throw them outdoors. then they don't flip right away.

dude you put em outside way to early in the season! i wont be putting mine out til after 4/20 thats when our days here in cali will be gettin long enough for the plants to stay in veg! generally plants need around 14+ hours of light to stay in veg outdoor. check out this website http://www.gaisma.com/en/dir/us-ca-country.html it might help you out with light scheduling for outdoor plants! always compincate for shade and things and find the best angles for more direct sunlight to your plants and you can get big plants from clones!!

these are a couple huge bitchs i grew last year

Get a clip on CFL and a timer. When the sun goes down have your timer come on for a few more hours. Sounds ghetto but it may get you to May.

Thanks everyone for your input. I feel like an idiot right now. Im helping my friend grow at one of his relatives house, and i personnaly havn't seen the clone in 5 days. He said it was budding, thats why i went on here trying to figure this shit out. But when i went to check it out today, guess what...its not budding!!! lol. its actually 4 inches taller. my friend just doesn't have the eye, lol.
But last year i did have 5 clones with my friend that budded at that height, so maybe thats why he was being kinda sketched.

but ya i understand now. i will make sure i will convince my buddy next year not to plant clones till 4/20. Cause that is when the nights start getting warm, when i can wear shorts and a tshirt.ha. But so far this year, this weather this month has been awesome. i have 8 other plants that are from seeds(bill maher-which is L.A. confidential X jack herrer) and Rhino Cheese( White rhino X cheese X Florida Kush) and they are growing very nice, if i get a camera i will post them for sure. O ya, we just picked up a few more seeds today, platinum kush(dont know what makes that up) and Hogs Dream( hogs breath X Blue Dream). All are from medical marijuana dispensaries in Dana Point(they told us they got the bill maher and rhino cheese from Humboldt county), and in San diego city.
