I'm in Norcali and I bring inside for a few extra hours to prevent this.

I just looked at the little slits on the bottom and noticed a bright white root popping out! so they're obviously doing like @Betterhaff and @Pdxfarms were suggesting. I think I may have seen a new node growing too!

Unless they have well established roots any substantial amount of direct sunlight is probably too much light for them. 1-2 hours a day at most or just keep them in the shade until they start to show some growth, which probably won't be too long. Too much light on cuttings that don't have enough root growth is somewhat like the electromagnetic equivalent of overfeeding.

Have some patience bro.. Put them in bigger pots

I'm with you on the amount of sun they receive. I always try to give them breaks throughout the day. Today was not one of them as I was gone all day so they got blasted. They looked perked up, no drooping so that was cool. Roots are all at the bottom and bright white. I'm gonna up the size of the pots tomorrow.

Question should I add some mykos? I'm also waiting for some caps ogbiowar to make a tea. What size container do you think I should put them in 2 or 3 gal? I try to keep the pots size smaller due to over watering. I have also been rotating them with a very light foilar of rhizotonic at night and some method1.

If you are going outdoor big pots are better, I would say at least 5 gallon.

Outdoor plants in direct sunlight get about 1.1 kilowatts per square meter of light, thats a massive blast, like having 2000 watts in a 4.5 x 4.5 tent. Outdoor plants in the shade get around 100 watts per meter squared, nice & gentle. The fastest results I get putting rooted clones outdoors is keeping them in the shade until they display definitive growth, then they're ready for real sunlight. They don't need a lot of soil, I'm not even sure more would help. They need to have a root system which is capable of handling the impact of all that sunlight, which they should be able to establish in a small pot of decent soil given enough time, unless its a clone from a very large cutting.

These cups are in about maybe 13oz of soil if that. The roots are not full like when I use coco but are starting to show. I figured since they have been in these for 2 full weeks it would be a good time to transplant? Sounds like you're saying continue with these cups in the shade. Crazy never knew the shade would be throwing down that kind wattage. I'm in Sac county and the heat is here so a bigger pot would help with water evaporating? Thanks again for all the knowledge!

You can grow a pretty big plant in a 1 pint cup so unless your cut is very large then I doubt it needs more soil, but if you can transplant it to a bigger pot gently it probably wouldn't hurt, you can eyeball your roots that way too. Otherwise a deficit of roots probably helps prevent excess evaporation, but I don't what your weather is like down there.

It's pretty hot here in central cali, last few days been in the upper 90's and this goes on all summer. I'm gonna pot up and use a different soil I have never messed with black gold and I almost feel like the girls are not very happy in it. Somebody recommended it to me to avoid getting gnats or thrips. I used happy frog last year and had both. Do you know of good soil to use? Well I just checked the cups and when I moved the slit on the bottom I saw the tiniest little pest come out of the hole! I have no idea wtf it was it moved pretty fast. So maybe this is why they're not growing! Man I just can't catch a break FML
