Hi guys,

first time grower with some questions, help would be much appreciated.

have been growing a blueberry skunk plant in a growbox (pics on my profile) for 46 days now. flowering started about 3 weeks ago and have the following cfl lighting:
60watts 2700k,45watts 2700k, and 30watts 6500k.my 12/12 cycle was from 9am to 9pm.

anyways, the room in which i had my growbox in was needed and i had to displace my plant. i've put it on my balcony (live in a warm country,23-28degrees celcius) for 2 days now and the light cycle is about 6am to 7 30pm. Since i've put it out it grew amazingly, and the buds really started forming (on 2 days only!).

Anyways, the question is if i can put my plant back in the box on the 9-9 cycle, or should i put it on 7-7? Is it gonna harm my plant the fact that i put it back in the box where it will receive a lot less lumens?

input would be grately appreciated guys, please.
 
I would keep that plant outside for 12 hours, and bring it in for 12 hours and put it in the darkest place possible.

Dont wanna mess around with the flowering schedule.

Or else it may take forever to finish among other problems.
 
Bringing a plant in and out in it's self is just fine.

But in doing this you could mess with it's lighting schedule if you weren't very consistent about when you moved them.

Plants don't like consistent fluctuations in their day/night cycles.

You could get yourself a hermi if you weren't careful.
 
if you bring it in an out there it has a greater risk of spider mites if it goes out side dnt bring it to the grow room at the end of the day trust me i used to do it an then i had a run in with the little fucks lol i now only do if there a sign of mold
 
well i moved it outside during night, and the only difference is that when i put it outside, the day night cycle got moved by 3 hours and daytime is 13hours instead of 12.
tonight i want to put the plant back into the box for it to finish flowering there with it's normal cycle, but i am scared that because of the light fluctuations (sun and cfl arent quite the same)there could be a problem. Or maybe because the cycle flutuations like you said.
what do u suggest i do for the cycle when i put it back in the box? adjust it to 7-7 (sun is 6 to 7.30pm) or can i put it back to 9-21pm?
and the is the light fluctuation a biggie??

tnx everyone.

p.s. spidermites shouldnt be a problem for me.other bugs is something else but im being pretty careful
