can a plant be put in the sun during the day??

The plant will definitely get better lighting outside, the prob you could introduce is bugs to your indoor grow space.
And that would be BAD !

Yes but spray with azamax every week to kill bugs they pick up.

and then back under cfls for the rest of the time??

would that have a good effect on the buds while flowering?
would it have a good effect on the growth in veg state?

Sure i ve been done it before. Make sure you have the hot strip pest to hang in your indoor grow room

happy growing and peace

so use organic sprays? to kill bugs once a week


any idea how much more bud there would be if i put it under the sun about 7 days a week for about 5-8 hours while flowering

And obviously still ensure it gets it's 12 hours of dark.
If I had somewhere suitable outside, I would forget the indoor grow altogether and control the daylight times with an up-turned trash can etc over the plants. Leave the cfl's for winter growing.
Mr.G is right. Pests brought into a grow-room can be a nightmare. They are effectively given a perfect environment and locked in there with no predators. If the plant is left outside it tends to be less of a problem. Nature helps keep a balance (rainfall washing off spider mites, wind blowing greenfly away etc)
Basically, choose one or the other.

Funniest thread title of the year so far?

I'll often take one of my plants that look like it could use a break out from under the 400 watt HPS and bring it up from my growroom, but I dont take it outside. I'll leave it in a room close by a window where it can get some fresh air and some natural light. They do seem to appreciate that once in awhile..
I'll put it back sometime before the lights go out.
