Most marijuana plants flower because of the photoperiod. To flower, cannabis needs 12 hours of continual dark. There are some exceptions, but they are stll quite rare.

So, your babies will start to flower if they are moved outside while the days are short. However, if you have 14 hours of light or so, you can take the cuttings and they might root and last until the days get longer. Or you could grow your clones under a compact fluorescent lamp (an energy saving lightbulb).

Cuttings are very hardy, just jump in the deep end and give it a go!

ps, Indole Buturic Acid or other clone gels or powders really do work wonders for helping clones grow roots. There is plenty of literature on this site and others, as well as some books that are full of information.

Grow well!
