Moving from veg. cfl 24/0 to the natural photoperiod

I am currently vegging under cfls.24 hours a day And plan to move the plant outside to flower. I am wondering if anyone know ways to not shock the Plant. The days are about 12/12 right now and the plants will be gettin shade part of the day.

Ehhhh i think you would be okay but to be safe why dont you take them to 20/4 then 18/6 first ? Even if it was only two days on each it would help ease them into it. Or go
22/2 20/4 18/6 16/8 14/10 12/12, one on each day.

Basically if time allows i would try to ease them in as much as possible.

i get indoor on 24/0 and put them out to flower, you dont really shock them, u just shock into flowering, thats what u want
 
I did it they went out yesturday. I am relieved but I feel like a whole new set of problems are just around the corner. My only plan is to let nature take its guided course led by me and my lack of experiance. I do admit that seeing the girls in there new gardens was a relief but I was super paranoid when in the process of planting. Chickens and everything making any noise made me pause and skectch out for a min.

Haha I forgot to mention that I went with 24/0 without any change until planting. Haven't checked them yet, I'll post pics when I take em.
 
Checked my plants yesturday. They are thriving bushes, hairs are becoming prevelant. They are only about 1 foot tall they are clones and have plenty of bud sites. Any suggstions on a good outdoor early stage budding fertilizer. 7 days in to budding.

oh nice work, glad its all going well, im not sure of an early budding fert but i would deff go with canna PK 13 14, u hit it for 7 to 10 days on day 28 of an 8 week flowering cycle.
 
yah got florablend and flora nova. gonna cut the nova soon and put dry kool bloom keep da flora blend and prob gravity or something not sure. gotta say the flora nova is really easy to use in my bubble cloner and flora blend's dosage is highest at 15 ml. per gal. is only during seedling stage then 10ml.p.g. for the rest of the plants life.
