Outside seedling needs to go indoor?Photoperiod <->

[DUFFBAG]

Hey Guys,

I have some 3 week old seedlings that have been started outside. What do I need to do to I need to do to put them inside for a night time grow @ 18/6 (the lights go on at 6pm to beat the heat)?.

Heya Duffbag =) , what ya do is go to the weather page, and look up the light hours from first light to last light in your area, that will give you the hours of light outside.

If it is below 18hours you'll be right, as I suspect it will be.

But thats a good way to tell, and also for bringing plants out of Veg inside to flower outside and keeping the light hours right.

If they are big enough outside and you wanted to flower them , you would throw them straight into 12/12 on coming indoors.

 

In warmer months I run my lights 7.30pm to 7.30am, takes a while for the day to cool down where I am.

 

Hope that helps. Best of Luck. Gh72

Cheers grasshopper! I think my start time might have to start slipping back a bit like yours. It's my first summer inside. Heat will be the enemy..

 

Great work. Grow hard.
