Veg out bring in to Flower

[einsteinlady]

hey guys...

Has anyone had any success putting plants outdoors in June and bringing them in end of July before they start to flower. After they are brought in end of July one could keep veg'in them or flower them. I am wondering how the quality came out if you flowered them indoors... Just brainstorming if one was to do a light dep. and full season as a way to get a free veg for a flower after the full seasons are done.

Yeah it will be no different flowering those indoor as if you vegged them indoors but two months outside then two months inside after the full season finish, and those plants will either be huge or rootbound and unhealthy. Idk how big you like to flower plants indoor but I wouldn't recommend doing this because it would be hard to keep them small and healthy that long.

You can just leave them outside somewhere away from your main garden and keep a small light on them. It doesn't take barely any light to keep them from flowering and you only need 15 minutes in the middle of the night. Then bring them inside when you want.

I've taken plants outdoor that were half flowered and put them inside under 12/12 lights and they didn't shock and finished fine.

Maybe just put fresh little plants outside at the beginning of august under a light and then bring them inside once your done with your outdoor scene and have the time. 2-3 months veg time is more than enough.

I've never had luck bringing in plants from outside or a greenhouse. One reason is the switch from sunlight to indoor light, they to go yellow (at least I think that is why they to go yellow). The other reason is bugs, they seem to explode when brought indoors.

I'm sure these problems can be dealt with, sunlight takes no electricity which is nice.

Chlorosis should be unrelated, dose them with some nitrogen or transplant
