fluorescent to daylight?

[skaaater]

my plant is about 2 weeks into flowering and its hard for me to keep a steady 12/12 light cycle since im always out. Is it ok for me to transfer my plant from my grow room which was being lighted by a cfl, to outside so it gets a steady 12/12 light cycle?

What's the weather like where you are? I still have snow on the ground (and possibly more tonight)! Last night, we were into the single digits! What are your temperatures like at night and during the day? Unless things are a lot warmer where you are at, it's a big no-go! - Granny:hippy:

temps range from 75 to 85 during the day and from 60 to 40 at night. :rastasmoke:

I'd keep them partly protected from the sun for a day or two to let them adjust to the stronger light. Or put them out when you expect several cloudy days. I've seen plants (veggies & flowers) get "sunburned" after being raised inside. It's starting to snow....again.

Currently, the natural daylight cycle is NOT at 12/12, and won't be for several months..

Right now, according to Yahoo weather, we get sunrise at 6:54 and sunset at 5:53. 13/11, should be close enough, since they are 2 weeks into flower. Some folks even recommend 14/10 for the last few weeks before harvest. You might want to do a search on 13/11 and 14/10, just to get various opinions. - Granny:hippy:
