When you bring them indoors you may encounter a couple of issues.

a) any plant grown outdoors has mold and mildew spors. you may devlop Powdery Mildew or especially bud rot (does not require buds) more easily.

b) you will be bringing in any pests from outside. outdoors pests have their own pests. you bring them in you're putting them in a "controlled" environment possibly without nature's balancers. anyway, you might have pest problems.


above from experience.
MdmPele Reviewed by MdmPele on . Starting outdoors but finishing inside? I've got some seedlings on the go now. I plan to keep them outdoors until they are about 3ft tall or just to hard to hide in my vege garden. I was going to put them onto cfls when I bring them inside. Should I expect any problems with the transition from natural light to cfls, or will the plants just adapt? Rating: 5
