what complications am i looking at?

everyday the light comes on around 10am, by 12 my room mate moves them outside cuz of the temp hitting 100, by about 7 or 8 when temps cool to about 70-75, he moves them back inside under the 1000 watt. what kind of problems will i be looking at or will there be any?

anytime you can give the plants some of the power of the sun and the fresh air of outdoors is great. one complication i can see is bugs. your plants and grow medium have just increased the chances of picking up bugs to almost 100%.
the last thing you want to do is bring in pests to your indoor grow. beware of spidermites. these little bastards will be a nightmare.
if your going to put these outside later anyways then ok, but your indoor op will be comprimised and possibly for long term. mites will go dormant and then come back when you least expect it. then there is the eggs that will hatch and re-infest.

keep close watch over your girls and check the daily for pests. good luck.

so just bugs thats the only problem?
i have lots of yellow sticky pads, pyretherum for top layer of soil, and i will pull some ju jitsu on some spidermiter, then ill smoke a blunt with the spider mites

ive done this same thing on plants that are eventually going outside anyways. and it works for me.
i guess if your gonna knock out the pests, you should be good. may be others things though not sure.
maybe too much of a temperature difference may make them stretch a little or stress them a little, but other than that you should be good to go. good luck and keep us updated with how its going.

i do the outside inside all the time, to prevent the little nat fly bug problem i dont over water, if the top of the soil drys out every other day they wont wanna live there. also if it gets crazy just put a thin layer of sand on the top, bout a inch thick, and the nat flys wont be able to live under the sand. also i have absolutely no complications bringing em outside and inside, they all look beutiful and the only bitch is carrying them when they get bigger.
