Plants grown indoors can "sun burn", if placed into direct sunlight. Let them have a few shady days under a tree or something to toughen up. Alternatively, if you know you are going to have a few cloudy/rainy days, go for it.

Most of my plants don't like to "change their mind" about flowering once they get started. I have one (indoors) that "got away from me" and was beginning to flower before I took a clone. I usually take them in preflower- the clone went to 24/7, grew to reasonable size. I took a clone... I'm on my 4th generation like that and the dang thing is STILL trying to flower under 24/7! :wtf: She puts out all these pitifully scrawny little buds under 24/7- that explode into a solid mass of hard, fat buds as soon as she hits 12/12! :thumbsup: She clones very easily, too! So I can deal with that!

So I wouldn't worry too much about a slight drop in light as long as they are "committed" to flowering. I think the worst that would happen would be a slight slow down in bud growth- while the plant basically goes "Huh? Wha??? OK. Back to growing." (I could explain it all scientifically, but that's easier. )

Have you considered the "critter angle"? Will you have rats, deer, rabbits or other critters to contend with? If you have any males, put them out first (noting the location so you can kill them later). If they disappear, you might want to rethink your grow's location or security!

OK- that's long enough! Good Luck!- Granny
