Interesting i like that advice, i feel like straight outdoors would beat wouldn’t like to shock the with two different light source or schedule. And besides like i said its been 10yrs between my grow and my indoor equipment is just as old. Had a 5x7x7 room with hydro farm units

You’ll be fine as long as you don’t have cold or wet early fall conditions. Your plants probably won’t be as large as they would starting a month or two ago, but they should finish up around same time as everyone elses or within a couple weeks after.

That stuff can ruin a crop anywhere. It jyst seems to happen more frequently the further north you get.

Cannabis will grow in a vegetative state until it’s sexually mature no matter the amount of light time is. For most plants this is about a month or so. From there if days are short enough will begin transitioning to flower. For outdoor plants in Northern hemisphere this usually sometime in August. Days begin getting shorter after the summer solstice but it takes a month or so before days are actually short enough for plants to identify this is happening, then a couple more weeks as plants transition and you’ll actually see flowers starting to form. Starting your plants now will basically follow the same schedule unless they want to take a little longer to mature. Even so ot wouldn’t be a lot longer.

I don’t see any reason to put in ground this late in the year unless you feel it’s something you need to do.

The plant looks fine. Just barley broke ground a few days ago I’m betting. Give her time and she will grow.
Planting straight into the ground or choosing to use a pot/grow bag is all preference at this point. A lot of growers choose to go into the ground early in the season so the plant can obtain the largest root base possible. Also putting them into the ground alittle early will help with any random freezes the first part of June.
Due to the fact you are alittle late into the season and have passed the early frosts than a pot/grow bag should be pretty efficient for you.

Your indoor was hydro though, right?
