From Outside to Inside - any ideas?

[StanDarsh]

I am two weeks from harvesting four indicas from my closet garden. I have two eight week old sativas growing in five gallon containers in my backyard, but due to neighbors nosiness and lighting issues, cannot leave them outside for too much longer. I was planning on bringing them into my closet when the current crop is harvested. I have never done this before, and was wondering if anyone had any advice about this. Will they be able to handle the HID? I have a 175W MH and a 400W HPS - I was thinking of just using the 175 MH for a few more weeks of veg and then switch to the HPS, as I hope they should have adjusted to the HID by then. Is there anything else I should consider? I never thought these seeds would even germinate, but they did and appear to be female. Thanks to all of you for any & all advice.

No worries about bringing them inside under your light. The only thing that may hurt them is that you have them to close to your light and they burn. Take a very close look at your plants for any signs of bugs. Just give them a good wash with the hose I put the nozzle on the fine mist spray. Bend over and shoot the water up at the bottom of the leafs as most bugs are hiding here. For shits and giggles buy some ladybugs and toss some in the closet with your plants and hopefully they eat any leftover bugs.

SaH- thanks for the advice - I will do that. I will also get some pest strips to hang in the closet as well. It's a Rubbermaid shed I have in my garage, so heat can be an issue - I will start with the light as high as I can get it and gradually move it downwards.

sunlight is much stronger than any light in a closet, dont worry about moving them inside except for pests. you would have to worry though if you were moving them outdoors from in. they could/would get burnt by the stronger light from sunshine.
