Moving Indoors to Outdoors - Any Tips?

[duckman]

Due to space limitations in the tent I'm moving my 4 week old Northern Light Auto out to my balcony but I'm just a LITTLE nervous about what will be major temp and humidity fluctuations outdoors. My Girl is used to being pampered (as she should be!). I guess my question is: is there a best way to move a plant to ease the transition from indoors to outdoors? P.S. that's her in the back...

I'm growing 4 autos that started indoors for about 3 weeks then I just started putting them out for a couple of hours a day for a few days then just moved them outside. They're doing fine

move her out in the morning and back in at night for a couple of days but as warm as it is now ,I think she would be fine if you just put her out

OJ gave you good advice I do the same with all my seedlings or teens I start indoors for my outdoor grow.

Excellent (and consistent!) advice, thanks!...I'm just a bit paranoid about shocking my girl, temps and humidity are all over the place here...:frown:

the first few years I had to harden off plants it made me nervous as well ,its hard to give the girls everything they need to make the best self they can and torturing them is hard lol

I move mine out into a partial shad area, some full sun then time to rest/acclimate, after a few days out for full on sunshine.

she's outside and she's loving it! these pics are about 2 weeks after the move...I'm guessing about 3 or 4 weeks to harvest..still waiting on the digital microscope I ordered to scope out the trichomes..

Way to grow duckman free light and I believe your guess is about right on the time frame. Looks really good

well thank ya, thank ya very much ... and by way of comparison, here's her 2 tent sisters started about a week later...did some minimal LST on the girl on the left, didn't touch the one on the right (except for a wee bit of defoliation), you can really see the difference even my minimal LST makes! it's almost like she has (dare I say it) a canopy!
