Can I set my plant outside for a couple hours

[turbobuzz]

I have a plant 9 weeks from flip today, and I have to flea bomb the house today. This will take place right in the middle of lights on, so I don’t want to just shut the door because of heat. Do you think it would hurt anything to set this plant outside for a couple of hours in the shade? I don’t think shutting the light off half way through the light cycle is a good idea.

Sure you can. You don't have any choice. You don't want your plant exposed to the toxins in those flea bombs. They leave a residue and you definitely don't want to get that crap on your plant.

Shorter light is fine and any light schedule for a day won't really change anything. They have cloudy days outdoors.

First, nice looking plant.
Second, it’s ok to have added darkness. Added light is what you don’t want.
Third, you set that outside and you might bring something inside that you don’t want.
Just seal any gaps before you bomb.

Thanks. I think I’ll just do a shorter light cycle today, and seal up real good to make sure no fog gets inside the closet. I’ve got 30 days or less, and I don’t want to screw it up now. Thanks.

I wouldn't risk a budding plant with poisons. You're close enough to harvest I'd risk bugs. Your plant, your health, your call. Good luck whatever you choose.

I'd definitely take that outside. Tick bomb residue is going to go everywhere

Sounds like outside is the most popular choice. Outside it’ll be. I’m going to try bud washing anyway for the first time, so if a bug or two get on it, hopefully I’ll was em out.

Wrong. Sealing against vapors is impossible. Take it outside.

Put it in a black plastic garbage bag then set it outside in a shady area

You most certainly can seal out vapors.
But that's a different argument.
Herb and Suds had the best idea. Wrap it in a black garbage bag and put it outside.

Whatever. Put it outside is the correct answer.
