Ok normally I have them outside, mainly during the day though, at night I bring them in because I dont want raccoons knocking them down and whatnot. So, when I bring them in, I stick them under a light in the kitchen. Should I keep them under this light at night or should I turn out the lights all together for the night?

Ugh..did I miss something here? What grow cycle are they in?

Veg - 18/6 or 24/0

Flower - 12/12

Go by that..

if you orginally have the plants outside ......then you want to keep the lights off when night hits......even try and put some chicken wire around the plants so that you wont have to haul them all the time in and out.......

Or get some of that stuff that keeps critters away they sell it at lowes or home depot works pretty well, I use it for rabbits the raccoons never bother a thing those rabbits are a different story though...little fluffy bottomless pits.
