Moving plants from 18/6 to outdoors.

[Vitki]

Good evening.

I have been thinking about a challenge/problem i can not figure out.

 

This year is the first time i grow under a light.

 

Many previous years I started a couple of seeds around the middle of August and every year around November and mid December some of them flower followed by reveging a couple of weeks later.

 

Some of these plants would get stuck in a cycle of flower and shoot formation with single blade leaflets that attracts a lot of insect activity.

 

So i was wondering if i were to move a plant from 18 hour days to just over 11 hours now and reaching 12 hours in 6 weeks from now will the plants behave and flower through?

 

I am running out of space..

I think you would be faced with the same issues you had previously if you plant outside now. I would expect the plants to reveg before fully flowering within the next 2/3 months.

Unless you maybe keep a little spotlight on the plants and veg through the rest of this year and flower some monsters for next year's outdoor harvest

That is an idea, thanks. 

How big light are you talking about, 50watt led security light?

Yes that will work. You aren't aiming to grow with the light, just making sure the light hours are extended.
