Transfering plants from outside to inside

[Tmax]

Can I bring my outside plants indoors for flowering when the weather gets cold in the fall? I'm in Alberta, Canada

Sure it is done all the time, welcome to GWE!

Yep. I currently have two plants that get 7 hours of direct light. 12 hours under LED and 5 hours of darkness in my flowering chamber.

Outside pest bugs are hunted by predator bugs. Indoors some pests are allowed to thrive with no natural predators. Best to not do that, or at minimum an extreme disinfection process before bringing them inside.

Tmax I'd suggest that you take precautions to eliminate any insects you might have before you bring them in. Any bugs you have will explode indoors where it's warm and dry.

I'm in Calgary, and these GSC x's were started outside and brought in....99 days frost free isn't enough time here.

Thanks for the info... My 3 outside plants are in too small of pots... Is it ok to put them in bigger post when... I think they are starting to bud? .... Thanks for anymore advice.... My neighbor wants to set up his garage with lights and stuff to keep them going.... I am a novice grower!

I wouldn’t up to two weeks prior to budding. Too stressful and might affect yields.

Show a pic of plants if you can. They are photos right? Do you see just little wisp of hair or very small budlets? If what I said in previous sentences were true and they were mine. I would transplant into larger container using new soil fresh blend and since it's a garage not a tent inside a room in house i'd do it. I'm vegging 4 clones I made from 2 different strains, they are in 1gal cont. outdoors sitting in a wagon in the sun. I'm in no hurry to bring them indoors but they will go into my tent come end of sept. they will be well rooted and transplanted close to 2months old. I would not hesitate Tmax do it now don't wait long.
