moving from outdoors to indoors HELP!!!

so is stated my babies outside and now due to visibility. i am forced to put them in my grow tent.

they are getting about 9 hours of direct sunlight.

So i was thinking of putting them under my 430 hps, in my grow tent, on 18/6 for a couple weeks and then 12/12.

1.will they flower after a couple weeks of 18/6, or will they need longer then that?

2.is this gonna stress them or will they love the longer light period?

Anyone done this before?

PLEASE HELP!!!

18/6 is probably longer then what they get outside so they shouldnt flower,but they may be stressed and hermie,god chance they will.so you have to pay close attention,also spray for bugs when you bring them in.

Unfortunately this always causes problems. If you do it be on the lookout for bugs, you will bring them in for sure.

Spray the f outta your plants with a hose, then let foliage dry, prior to spraying for insects. This will remove many and remove dirt and dust. Be sure to re-spray whatever bug stuff you choose to use in 2-3 weeks to deal w/eggs hatching, etc.
I've DUG UP plants and moved them inside to flower on several occasions. It can be done.
IMO, most insect infestations begin low on the plant, near the main stalk. Don't forget your possible soil pests . . . it might be wise to replace the top inch or two of soil.

what kind of spray do you guys recommend? also i have about 3 inches of hydroton on the top of the soil.... what u think

I recommend the Doktor Doom Organic spray, made with chrysanthimum flowers. It's a contact killer and worked wonderfully on my aphids.

sweet thanks to all for the help
