Hi all! :)

I'm currently sprouting 4 plants, and tending to one juvenile. They're all doing well, but I'm worried about their long term health.

I live in blistering hot florida, and I keep the plants outside in direct sunlight from about 7am until 6pm, when it starts to get dark. I then bring them inside and put them under some generic CFL's I put into two lamps.

I'm not trying to grow them indoors, but some light is better than none...right?

Or should I just pick a method and stick with it?

Pick a method and stick with it. Taking them inside and outside will stress the plants and it will probably become a hermie, which you dont want !

Pick a method and stick with it. That will become real tiresome. Try to find a spot that is part shade.

Bringing any potted plant indoors, and you'll likely be bringing bugs in with it.
One method, one schedule.

Yep, and outdoors make sure the pot does not get too hot in the sun

Wonder made a good point. Plants in the ground can take high temps because the ground is NOT that high in temp. It stays noticeably cooler when planted in ground, but having a plant above ground takes away the advantage of the heat loss due to the ground.

Alright, thanks guys! I'll leave them potted outside in an area that's more shady in the morning. Wish me luck :D

You might want to have a look at this thread: (twords the bottom of the post)

Tiz a technique I use quite often with my sativa's and sativa dominates.

Proper lights, and keep a circulating fan on 'em. The breeze promotes stockiness, prevents stretchiness.
