So should I leave outside during the daylight hours ….and it’s probably 70-80 degrees. Sometimes 85 …(it is Florida) lol….and then switch to metal halide 250. When sun goes down ….so still keep on 24-0 cycle just try n maximize hours in sun? That’s what I got from that sorry have never tried the outside thing so I appreciate your help HERB N SUBS
Another question but since it’s in my backyard the sun is blazing and it’s perfect 70° right now but isn’t there supposed to be extreme wind or a fan on it that’s how I’ve done it inside I’ve read it makes the stems thicker and since it’s in my backyard there’s really no wind because it’s covered by a 6 foot fence my backyard is…. Should I plug a construction fan outback laugh out loud and pointed towards the plant I mean I do it if it helps even 10% I’m really trying to make this grow the best as possible

That 250 isn’t doing nearly what the sun does and switching back and forth might confuse that plant causing stress
Plants need to adapt to direct sun and going back and forth is bad
Bugs also like to come inside with the plant
It’s an auto so just leave it outdoors

Stop mixing indoor and outdoor

Bugs are the number one reason you can't do that. Outside they progressively keep it moving. If you bring them in and stop their flow they will infest. You don't want larva in your roots and bugs under your leaves...

What?
Plenty of predatory bugs in nature
Back and forth is when the cycle gets skewed
Edit
Hmmm
I may have misread your post lol

Sorry but I disagree that mixing sunshine & indoor lights will cause stress as I often give my indoor gals sunshine when available
I do agree that bugs can be a concern

yes it does, I've done it several times
Well but the thing it is some days there 3 hours of sun I live south Florida some days it’s so cloudy it’s like there’s no light …it’s not like sun every day during daylight I did do it yesterday and moved it back under mh I guess I’ll just leave it there I don’t want to go back and forth and stress em….ok so I’ll just start one outside from seed and leave it …any idea what would be the best month to plant an Autodlowee in Florida

Plants do not need direct sun all day to prosper
I personally would leave it outside and start over indoors
These only got about 4 hours of direct sun and seem ok
I have gorilla grown in even less direct sun too
Wait till April plant a seed outside and let it go. Inside and outside is only ok during veg. Any artificial light may affect the hormones within the plant if you don't understand the plants trigger point and length of day at your location you can have some real problems with reveg some plants handle better than others heavy Indica's will not handle confusion sativa hybrid and sativa will handle better. If you want to be safe plant outside leave outside after April 20 by seed, if you have clone, it's June 20 that's the safest. If your clone is under 24 hours of light you may have problems if your length of daylight is 18 hours the hormones will change a may affect the plant. Hope this helps.
If anyone a grown
Ya I’d be worried about bugs my 250 mh not I match right now and I’m home all the time…I can literally see when’s it going to rain or get cloudy for a few hours I’ll just move it back in til the rest day
Holy shit nice man…so I’ll just leave it outside screw it
