Man. All that sun got me wondering haha. so there's a door on this side and a door on the opposite. If I took my plants out for a few minutes, and the plugs from the lights I guess, or the lights and all to be safe lol. and if I tried turning the tent so that one of the doors was facing the window. Would the sun she gets when I open the doors for air or whatever be worth the trouble? Haha . would it be effective like that through the window? The windows open most of the time. during spring and summer anyway . there's just a screen in it The window is pretty high up idk how high but pretty high I'm on top floor of an apt building. Would it help do you think? give my girls more light?

2 people on Facebook told me not to because going from LED to sunlight messed theirs up before but like. Isn't that what many growers who grow outdoors do lol, start with artificial lighting and then move outside. idk tho hah please advise thank you. Maybe this is a dumb idea idk. I think I saw someone post that they did it before though, but I forget where hah

Supplementing LEDs with a few hours of Sun is ok if its not too hot. Sun is always better than indoor lighting and if you can put your plant in the Sunshine for a few hours your plant would love it. You have to be careful and make sure the heat doesn't burn the plant. Put a thermometer at the base of the plant or just use the back of your hand and feel and make sure the heat is ok. I have grown plants in windows years ago, the yields are small but potent. I would turn the plants every few days for even Sun-ing. 😎

Thanks man! I think I'll try it, maybe not yet because I'm stressing them out a bit training them to fill up the tent but not get too big lol. And im finding the older they get the less they want to bend for me. ive half cracked a couple stems :( one recovered hoping the other one does too. And yea I've started bending more carefully since hah.

I ramble. But yea so I'm thinking I'll take them out and turn the tent before I switch to flowering. Or whenever I'm done torturing them every couple days hah. And just have the extra few hours sunlight a day for flowering this time around. Think I'll need to turn mine? with them in the tent and only for a few hohrs a day. I guess after so long I may not be able to turn them, if I'm lucky lol if they all gets that bushy.

You can get USB powered or battery turntables. I bought one and it would be good for under 6#. Too small for larger plant. Three speeds and it will reverse or do partial cycles.
