Outdoor growing...?

hi guys I’m interested in growing a few plants outside.
Got a few questions as I’m new to the outdoor grow scene...!

1: Can I veg them under lights for a few weeks indoors until I want to turn them to flower n then put them outside,or better to just do it all outside?

2: Can I/do use A/B and other nutrients that I use in indoor hydro to water them outside,if so how often do I feed them nutrients?

3: is it better to make a green house around them in colder months or just leave them?

4: if I veg them indoors and flower them outside will it shorten the flower period (if so how long) or still same time to flower?

5: how long does it take for a plant outdoors to fully mature to harvest?

By the way I’m in Australia where we can have 4 seasons in one day so yeah take that into consideration.

@ruby fruit give this mate a hand will ya.

1. Yes
2. Seen it done but not as gd as just using outdoor specially made ferts.
Half the success for outdoor is the soil mix your growing in.
3. Greenhouse yes depending on state you are in.
4. Not much will change in length of flowering period
5. Once again the state u live in has a big say in this...most areas of aust will give you at least 5-6 months with some areas more prone to mould etc from late flowering rains.
To late to start now are you prepping for next season ?

Cheers for the reply @rubyfruit..

Well I’m in Melbourne so yeah it’s more of a head f@*k here since we can get every season in one day and the weather is never constant here.

I def gotta keep researching about it or might just do a trial run with one n see how it goes.

Just don't forget to match your light cycles with season. If you have them under mostly light inside and stick them outside too soon without supplemental light they will go into flower early and then reveg. Good luck on your grow!

OP, the timer on the sun is broken, and can't be reset. So you have to work around it. You need to learn when each of your strains trigger to flower, and if you plan on a spring crop, you have to know when they will reveg. This tool is a big help to me. Good luck.
