starting inside moving to greenhouse in may

So I'm starting my girls inside five weeks in about two feet tall my question is I've got them on 13/8/1/2 to get them ready for natural light? does this make sense or a horrible idea?

I don’t think that lighting schedule is necessary, remember these plants are hardy and can take a lot of neglect. Going from 24 hours of light straight to 12/12 works for a lot of people I know. Naturally days get shorter and longer. Honestly I think that might stress out the plants and promote herming.

Alright thanks more i think about it I'll just keep them at 16 8 and hope for the best. Appreciate

The plants i grow in my greenhouse i start from seeds in the Greenhouse using a heat mat and natural light.It's a learned skill to move plants outside without them preflowering and re vegging causing smaller and less fruitful plants. Seeds planted now will produce large strong plants in a Greenhouse,if you have room pop a few seeds

I go 18-6. inside plant out late may no problem.

where are you located at Eddy?

The op brings up some valid points tho.. last season was my first time I had some plants start to veg early after moving outside.. I am definitely trying to avoid that this season. Jorge Cervantes recommends a 14/10 light schedule. However it seems this is enough for some strains to flower. The best bet might be going for 18/6 and hoping for the best

I start them under 18 hr coming on at 4 am going off at 10 pm and in may back it down to going off at 9pm and put outside after last full moon in late may works for me and been doing that way for years coastal maine

the babies sure liked the seaweed juice I gave them a taste of and the weather report just sucks

I'm starting Now, moving into green house @ 2 weeks old.
