HELP! Switching to outdoors late in flower

[magicman]

I have a Northern Lights and a Stawberry cough that are close to harvesting (about 1 week judging from the trichomes) I was wondering can I move them from the grow tent and put them out in the sunshine even though they will be getting more than the 12-12 they have been getting in the tent under a 400 hps light?? I went away for a week and son watered the plants waaay to much 2 days ago, was thinking just put them out on the deck, lots of sun and nice temps here (80-83 and 50-60 lows) humidity stays around 45-60%. Anyone have experience with this? Would it harm it at all, especially at this late stage, was hpoping to dry up the soil a bit before harvesting. Thanks

I don't have experience with that but when I was getting into growing I was going to do that bring outside in nice weather and back in but the guy here at the grow store said it "might" throw the clock off with the different light and may even herm it up . So I just keep mine in . I would think if the plant is healthy let her drink up the water and should be OK . But a LOT more experienced people in here will chime in for help .

Putting them straight outside may cause a sun burn on the leaves and parts of buds since she's used to just 400w of "sun". She would likely finish out OK with that one acception. If she has 1wk left I'm thinking a light breeze from a fan at soil/medium level to dry her feet a bit

I have one fan in the tent at the top, but may try yours and put another small oscillating fan down low to dry them a bit before harvesting. Any other suggestions I am open to them!

Hello MMan if you are that close to harvest I wouldn't do anything water, feed her anything the last week before harvesting. She will dry a day or two quicker also. Keep her where she is . Good Luck.

Ok here are some pics of all 3 of my babies. I decided to flush them with just ph'd water since my son told me he last watered them with nutes (Fox Farm trio I had pre-mixed). They received mostly plain ph'd water before that for 2 feedings. Will let them go until this weekend and harvest. I only have them outside due to flushing and draining water, will put the 2 (NL and SC back in the tent) The Amnesia Haze is autoflower and I have had her outside for almost 3-4 weeks now. Like some feed back if you wish to share your thoughts.

Hey Majicman great looking plants . Nice .. The only thing I did notice in one of the pics was the white pistils still . They look great to me but might be early if there are a lot of white pistils still on the buds . They might still have time to fatten up a little more or just get more dense bud . But thats my opinion .

Thanks, I will check the trichomes prior to doing any harvesting with my ORB camera. I don't like couch lock, so will make sure they are cloudy first.

I know the last weeks of waiting is killing me but I like a indica for the pain and sleep effects so I am letting mine go longer for the couchlock effect . I grow mainly for med pourposes because dispensary prices are rough . Next grow for me is high CBD medium THC .
