moving plants from 12/12 to outside..opposite schedules...help!!!

[fatburt]

i have 10 plants indoors on 4th week of flower...but the regimen is 7pm on/7am off.what would happen if i put the plants outside from 7am to 7pm to finish for a light dep,would the opposite regimen screw the plants up?

hpefully this can be answered today!

At minimum, they are likely to burn without some natural light conditioning first.

but what about putting them to opposite 12/12 regimens?i have lights come on at 7pm...
if i put outside for a light dep i would be bringing them to light(outside)at 7am...the opposite....im wondering if that switch is going to mess with the budding....like confuse them or something.

so give them 24 hours darknes then put them out?

 

[joe guy]

leave the lights off the day before you put them out, leaving them in the dark longer than usual will be fine, I've done it many times when switching on/off times on my timer with 0 issues

Yep just what mr keif said , you will be fine but u may want to use a shade cloth over them for the first few days to week to harden them off, since the sun is biggest brightest bulb there is they are likel to get burnt...

Yup 24 hours without light then stick em out they'll be fine. I just took a few plants that preflowered outside to keep on vegging after about 6 weeks indoors and they are doing fine. Yours will to, and they are old enough not to need hardening off.

plants are 5 feet tall,and 4 feet around!

all these big plants in a 6 by 8 foot space is pretty cramped...all the buds would get more light outdoors!so i think anythuing i lost to stress id make up for the extra buds that wouldnt have gotten enough light....
