Transitioning from 18/6 Night Schedule to Outdoor Sunlight,Any tips for a safe transition?

Haha yeah I am sorry I could not help myself and I had to react to Hindugod 🤣 But in this case I have to agree with him tho! You need to harden them off. That is actually really easy to do. I did made the mistake with not doing that with pepper plants before and they stunted like crazy. So you want to get your plants used to the environment. You want to do that step by step, so first you place the plants 2 days in the shade for the warmer period of the day from like 12:00 till 18:00 and after inside for the eveing and night. After these 2 days you place them half of this time in the shade and half of this time in the sun so from 12:00 till 15:00 in the shade and from 15:00 till 18:00 in the sun. Next 2 days from 12:00 till 18:00 in the sun. And after thay they can stay outside. I did use a screen to block the light and create a shade in the garden. Have a nice outdoor grow! 💚

I will be putting some outside soon, they will be about knee high, they take full sun no worries, i do it often, i live a days drive from the equator with 12/12 all year round and temps to 40c, stretch can be wicked.

Hello Buddy. I read years ago... to keep plants in veg outside, They need a strong light on them about 1/2 way through the night for about 3 to 5 minutes. This resets the night clock and the plants don't go into flowering. Read a funny story years later that reinforced that. 2 neibour's had a yearly bet... who could grow the most pot... with the same amount of plants. One of the wife's got up through the night to have a pee and noticed through the window, a light coming from outside, near the pot patch. You know those super strong flashlights with 2 million candles power and can shine for 1/2 a mile, One neibour was shining his strong flashlight from his sundeck, in the middle of the night, on his neibour's patch. To keep the plants in veg so he could win the bet, like he had done for years. Make sure the light doesn't light up the yard, or attract attention to your plants. Hope that helps.

The schedule change itself isn’t the main issue sunlight intensity is so just harden her off gradually (a few hours of sun per day, increasing daily) to avoid stress or burning

DA ANSWER FROM DA HINDUGOD IS VERY VERY GOOD!!! YOU CAN SELECT DA ANSWER FROM DA HINDUGOD BECAUSE DA HINDUGOD NEED DA POINT FOR DA CONTEST!!! DIS WOULD BE VERY VERY GOOD!!!

Not at all giving 24 hrs light for 1 day will be fine but it might be a shock just being outside, might need hardening off in 1 way or another

With an auto you should be fine, may take a day or 2 to adjust to the different light time. At least in April the sun isn't mega strong so it will adjust no problem. I tend to do the same, start them inside and get them out early April.

Depending on the sun in your region, you may have to slowly adpat it to the intensity of outdoor light. You'll know pretty quickly by how it behaves. If it wilts, put it in some shade and try to expose it to the sun in small amounts and increase over time. if you plop it out there and it's fine.. that's a pleasant surprise.

salut mon ami .je vais essayer de t'aider pour moi la meilleure stratégie si tu es en europe serait celle la .Ma recommandation pour une transition réussie : ​Réduit ton cycle intérieur : Dès maintenant, passe de 18h à 16h de lumière progressivement (30 min de moins tous les 2-3 jours) pour te rapprocher de la durée du jour extérieur. ​La règle des Saints de Glace : Si tu peux, attend idéalement la mi-mai pour la mettre définitivement dehors, ou rentre-la au garage toutes les nuits jusqu'à ce que les températures nocturnes se stabilisent au-dessus de 12°C. ​Le jour J : Donne-lui une période de noir prolongée (environ 12h) juste avant de la mettre dehors au petit matin..passe une bonne soirée mon ami

you can always bring one light with her. Ive logged a transition from outdoor in pot to outdoor in earth to indoor in pot again and there were just slow downs in growth...but.. I have seen plants that take over 18 months to grow. Also put enough of da earth in da pot with da plant... I just cubed da roots and I think putting da entire roots+soil is way better idea'. Give her a slow down period, less light drop da heat 2 or 4 degrees for a day maybe 2 then replant.

Nah dont worry. If they are still in veg then they wont mind.
