To many plants! To late to move outdoor?

I'm doing my first indoor grow in a room rather than a closet, and was definitely not prepared for the growth rate difference between flouros in a closet and three 1000w HPS in a well vented room!

Long story short, I've got 6 strains going, each given 12 days vegging. I was aware Sativas grow taller but, damn, not this much. So I now have several Mako Haze and Super Silver Haze towering up to 16 inches above the other strains, two weeks into flower. To avoid light burn I took them out of the trays and to the floor, hand watering.

So the question is, am I better off as is, considering the lights are now all 4-5' away from the Sativas, or should I move them outside? I'm in Ca's Northern central valley, temps outdoor here are about 80 day and 50 night, 33% humidity average.

I thought of that, but one problem there is all my trays are packed(like the title says, I got way to many plants). If I bend the sativas to grow at roughly the same height, each would be growing directly over 3-5 of the indicas, likely shading more than a few growing tips I would imagine. And since the sativas are for me and the indicas for a club/friends, I want them to yeild well.

But as I said, this is new for me, so thanks for the input. Anyone have any experience moving flowering plants outdoor mid-december, or is that just stupid?

ive noticed my plants strech the most during the first two weeks of flower. for the next two weeks they still grow taller each day but by progressively less. after that they barely get any taller and mainly grow girth. if you are already two weeks into flower just keep them inside you will be fine.

my climate is almost exactly the same. an 80 degree grow room actually promotes faster growth, especially if you have c02! check out my journal.
