You gradually bring them out for afew hours a day in the shade and gradually into the sun for a week or two until they adjust.

18/6 for inside veg. Then start taking them outside for half the day or so the first week you plan on moving them outside to get them used to the real sun. =)

however you do it keep this in mind, you must maintain your photo period religiously:
"24/0 and 18/6 both share the same problem though. Once you start the photoperiod you should keep that way especially when the plants near maturity (the preflowering stage). An irregular photoperiod can cause more males than females to develop. It can also cause sexual dysfunction to appear. Whether you choose 24/0 or 18/6 as your vegetative photoperiod try to keep that photoperiod unitl your plants are mature enough to express their sex."

that would be your best option. Blue, 6500 k, Daylight bulbs. You use limestone not lye, it takes months to react so you should have done it last year to be of any benifit if it (ph) is bad.

thanx i would have messed my babies up if it wasnt for all the good people on this site. and i should only add limestone after harvest so it can be ready for next year. also is there any trick of the trade to get a bigger yeild? +rep

We're not here for rep points. Read more. There's hundreds of pages in just to section to learn from. Noobs always ask the same questions so read through some of their posts and I'm willing to bet your answers will come to you. There's also and advanced growing section, check that out for increasing your yield. Hint, LST, topping, good nutes, strain dependent, etc...

chronic afro · Feb 27, 2011

OK thanks fo the help that is all i was wanting someone to say i have did searches for increaseing yeilds and they start out ok but half way through the journal all the posts just stop. so everything i found has really been a half a$$ anwser. im am eager to learn and have did ALOT and i mean ALOT of reading but i would like to ask a few questions if i cant find the anwser. ya know. but thanks for the helpful info

i suggest you just veg inside for about two weeks or so and put them outside. and im sure they will adjust fine as they are still young.

Hydrotech364 · Feb 28, 2011

Dude there are some great products out there,Big Bud,Beastie Buds etc.....Fans and large root systems make bigger buds also.Your going outside with them early man.Unless ya plan on finishing inside.They will flower in a few days and about halfway through they will shift back into veg.Right now is the time to be taking cuttings then shove the moms outside and let em flower.Good Luck.

to get bigger outdoor plants and yeilds, dig out big holes in the ground and fill it with a good soil mix (search on here for soil mixes theres tons) the bigger the hole the more room the roots have to grow the bigger the plant. I wouldnt worry about moving your plant from inside to outside youll be fine as long as the weather is nice and wont frost.

make sure youv got a nice fan on your plants inside so the stems grow strong for when you move them outside.

Another key thing is water, water as often as possible remembering its better to water your plant small doses over longer periods than to drown your plants once a week

no way ! you want to encourage the plants to strike down a deep root system, light watering will do the opposite.

They make grow bags in all sizes.You place them in the whole ya dig like C Krew said.I however douche my plants every time I water/feed.I even let the leaves droop until I douche em.Like I said "The Bigger The Roots The Bigger The Fruits"
