All Year Round

What's up everybody..I am new here and have not spent much time growing outdoors..more hydroponic indoors. So light conditions have never been an issue for me. Those days are now gone....

I live in So Cal closer to the desert area..and I think I have a plan for growing all year with soil, probably around 6-8 plants.

I have enough secluded space in my backyard and I also have a good wooden shed (can easily house 6-8 5ft plants), which has electricity in it and all of that, decent size.

My theory is this, I can grow outdoors and use the sun..when the days are too short, move them to the shed, I have multiple t5 fixtures in the shed to add supplemental lighting throughout the night, and place the girls back in the yard in the AM back to the sun...rinse/repeat.
I also have a heater for the winter. Gets to around 30 degrees out...

And for induced flowering...I could use a grow tent for complete blackness to achieve the hours of darkness throughout other parts of the year...if even needed or desired to off cycle sets of plants..


Any input would be great.
Thanks Guys!

I like the light dep idea, having that kind of control can be a useful tool.

No Biggy

I use a similar idea but with pallets

often the shed can be used for light depo too

good luck

That sounds like a pain in the ass for such a small grow, try and automate it somehow and make your life easier!
