Outside Grow, count down to bud rot

[Allenpro]

I started this Pineapple Express clone inside in a 2 gallon bag and then I dropped it in a 5 or 7 gallon bag, I cant remember, it is possible weed effects your short term memory.
What was typing about? So for Maine it started flowering pretty damn early, I am not sure what wiil happen from this point but it smells wonderful. I do shake off the dew in the mornings, so we shalll see
I need to post a picure of the base to show what I call the SLB Double Bagging method of transplanting.

how'd you get it to flower so early? i have some outdoor photos going in ct. and i need to come up with a plan to avoid rot

Healthy looking plant. Interesting that it would flower so soon. Here in California my outdoor plants are still deep in veg with 14 hrs of light a day. My buddy nearby has a volunteer that came up in his garden in early February. It's well over 7 foot now and just began flower.

For the uneducated, (i.e. me) when the pics of the SLB Double Bagging method for transplanting are posted can you give some guidance, or will the pics be self-explanatory?

[Allenpro]

Yes, I will post pictures tonight or in the morning

Just wondering. When did you put it outdoors? I've had them start flowering when I put them out in early to mid May from 18-6 indoors then reveg. Now I try to time it to put them out in early June.

The SLB double baagging method is something I picked up from a top shelf grower on another site. Its very a very simple way to start inside or with a smaller foot print. Simply start the plant in a small bag and drop it into a larger bag when ever your ready, the roots grow through the smalller bag into the larger bag with no transplant shock. Pictures are of the PAE grow and a past grow to show how they grow through. If your not living on a rock like me, and can dig a hole you drop the smaller bag rignt in there

As for why its flowering I have to assume its becasue it was a clone that had been under 18/6 light from the time it was cut and rooted then for a couple of weeks after before it was put outside. The other clones r started showing preflower signs before the 12/12 flip, sometimes they get axious. In Maine on 6/22 the longest day of the year we had 15/9 hours of daylight/darkness and we have had a lot of cloudy days so I think it felt like flowering and went for it. There is a big difference bettween a constant steady light from one direction verses a the sun moving across the sky and this plant doesnt wear a watch or have a light meter. So am I on to something about growing outside in north atlantic or heading for disappoinment? I dont think it could reveg at this point my only fear is bud rot really

My plants started flowering pretty early this year as well and I live in the Southwest. I've had buds poppin out on the girls for the last few weeks.
