I have outdoor growing experience but until this year I've never done much more than germinate a seed indoors. I have a question for some of you indoor geniuses out there. I have a plant I've grown indoors under CFL's is about 7 days into flowering. I have been putting it outdoors under the sun on these pretty sunny days and on cloudy rainy days I leave it indoors under a 4' 6500k CFL with 5 23w 2300k cfl for the red spectrum lighting it needs. Now my question is pure elementary, the 6500k of course imitates summer sun, 2300k imitates fall sun. On sunny days this time of year, when I set it out if we have been guesstimating the light kelvin right it's getting summer sun(6500k) and not the 2300k it needs for budding in the fall. Am I better off keeping it inside with the 2300k lights in adding to it or is it ok to put it outside under the presumably 6500k real sunlight. Which is better for the flowering?

I think you're helping yourself out putting it outside so it gets much more intense lighting to help produce denser buds. As long as the lighting schedule is consistent, it's fine to be out in the sun for awhile.

I'm keeping it spot on every day, 12/12. Outside in direct sun for about 8 to 81/2 hours a day and indoors under CFL's on a timer until 9 pm. I have the timer set 9am to 9 pm in case I don't get it out in time it's still getting the exact same daylight time and dark period.

You're better off getting a small greenhouse or covering it. Even a cloudy day is probably brighter in total than CFLs

The thumb nail is a bud on the plant, I think it's looking ok. What do you think. My profile picture is the plant and the picture on the beginning of this thread is a

I tried to reply earlier but my phone fucked up. I was gonna ask why cover it up but I know what you're saying. It's only under CFL's 2 hours tops at night and on rainy days I can put it on my porch to keep outta rain. I live at the dead end of a road and can see traffic a mile away but my dog raises hell even before I can see anybody coming I live so far I. The sticks I have to ride a pregnant horse to the mailbox to have a way back home

It's on par for just over a week flowering. I think maybe wrong but I'm ok with it. It's only bag seed outta some killer smoke. I bought a pound and found one seed so grew it and it's a girl. Thought that was some good fucking luck
