From outdoor to indoor???

[limonene54321]

Hello everyone, I need some advice from you expert gardeners...
I have a lemon shining silver haze plant in a 13 liter outdoor pot, sown and germinated at the beginning of April.
I would like to ask you... Is it possible to leave the plant to vegetate outdoors under the sun until I can bend it at least twice with the lst technique and then move it to flower indoors under a 400 watt hps lamp inside a 2 meter high and 120 cm wide growbox, to speed up the flowering times and be able to have a good final harvest (even if less than what I would get by leaving it outdoors) without damaging the plant, its development or flowering? If it were possible to do so, would 24 or 48 hours of darkness be useful for the plant before turning on the hps lamp to start making it flower indoors to get it used to the new type of artificial light? Would a 400 watt hps lamp with a light reflector be sufficient to make it flower since the plant has been used to growing under the sun or are 400 watts not enough?

you risk bringing in lots of bugs n such if its been outside, you could grow it and take some cutting off of it.
then keep a good eye on them and flower them in the tent maybe.
you still risk outdoor bugs n such though, just not as much risk

I do it every year, aphids & mites are likely. A good spraying of neem oil is helpful, spray the full plant and even the soil. I apply again after 2-3 weeks Into flower, spray after that and you'll taste it on your finished product and it's horrid. Some strains are pest magnets sometimes I'll use a plant like this to gather up as many as I can then toss it. Works for me.

Yep, it's the bugs/pests you need to worry about.

thank you so much for the answers.
I always use neem oil spray when I grow outdoors and I have never had problems with insects or parasites fortunately (except once when I found two strange little worms that had attached themselves to a stem of a top of the plant and were sucking it leaving a hole in the stem )
So in your opinion apart from the possible problem of insects, taking it from outdoors to indoors after having grown and vegetated it for a while under the sun, would I be able to make it flower under a 400 watt hps lamp inside the growbox? I would not want to end up with a damaged plant that does not flower due to the change in light and environment.

Totally doable. Ive done it loads of times.
Outdoor summer for me is just an extra free vegging area. No good for flowering outdoor here though, too wet and cold.
400 watt HPS is a bit under powered for a 1.2 x 1.2 area?. So dont be expecting monstrous yields.
600 watt HPS would be better. They're cheap enough now. Or run both in there if you can handle the heat.
Or get an led light if you can afford it.
I'd also transplant it into a bigger pot too prior to flowering.
It's a haze cross so don't let it get too big lol
Good luck
