I've heard of several different people doing this although I've never done it myself, all of them with success, I've heard it's a great way to finish up if they need a little longer. I've done it the other way starting them indoors then going out with no problems.

My one concern would be introducing pests, molds or other containments to your grow. It's doesn't take much to really screw things up fast so be carefull.

I know this is my first public post but I felt I should say I've done this with great success and previous post is correct with worry of bugs but I run a hot shot no pest strip and haven't had a issue with bugs I also spray the heck outta foliage before the move in and after a couple days the transfer is fine

I think these plants are already in bud.. Be very careful spraying anything on plants in bud cuz you'll end up inhaling it later. Personally I think with proper maintenance and cleaning between cycles pests and mildews are easily controlled. You have to be pretty anal about it methinks.

If I had a bong hit for every time I've heard: "Things were going great until I got these new cuttings from buddy..." (You know the rest of the story.) I would probably be really high, no really really high!

In any event I wish you well!

I have done it many times Skunk,never a problem,just don't forget you may be bringing in some bugs,just give them a night move,when both are dark,try as best you can to get the sunrise and sunset as close to out doors as possible,If you do 7am to 7pm,you should be close,thats the only real thing to really be concerned with,just do it Skunk,you don't want to loose those great meds,peace bro

If you were to bring them in I would go 12/12 right away. Chances are they are already well under way in flower so that is your best chance.

A handful of bugs is better to deal with then some random asshat stealing those plants on you. Get them in now, be safe.

If you can flower them seperately from any other plants that is the best way to insulate yourself from a few bugs if any. Don't spray them if you see anything maybe try wiping the leaves a bit with a damp cloth and try and scrape them off.

Good luck with them.

Yes your right sorry I didn't say just water only a cheap insurance for knockin off some critters and possibly some eggs that are alive and yes I do a wipe of leaves and I also mimic the light cycle

i also have this concern that if i do bring them in am i risking my crop by potentially bringing in pest,s?.i guess if u give the out door girls a good check over before i put them with the girls in my grow room.give them a good spray with water to remove anything that should not be there & everything should be fine.i cant risk losing these plant so me think,s a night shift is in order to move them under the cover of darkness then ill set my lights to 8am-8pm which is about right over here then start to flower my other girls.i did want to veg for 2-3 more week,s but they look ready to flip so what the heck ill flip.

Yea I must be thanx. And I hope the best for anyone who has to bring some in to finish. I ran into more of a problem with keeping them propped up because of bowing the cement floor. PEACE

[freshforest]

Bowing the floor what do you mean? Like your floor has a bow in it which causes your plants to fall over.. Or "Dude my plants so huge and heavy it put a bow in my cement floor!".. . heh heh..
If your having trouble with support try putting some fencing wire along the walls will give you something to tie the branches to.(falling over because of hugeness in general of course!)
