Advice for moving a plant inside.

So I have a couple of photoperiod plants that I’ve been growing outside in 10gal pots. My plan is to move them inside and start flowering.
My indoor space was occupied but those plants finished up and are hanging (in the same space).
Anyway, the space should open up in a week or so.
The plants growing outside show a small amount of pest damage but nothing too serious. While watering one of them yesterday, I discovered a tiny web occupied by a tiny little spider…..not sure if it was a mite or what.
I sprayed the plants about a week ago w/ Dr Zymes, which has always worked well for me.
I planned on giving them a good soaking again before bringing them in.
Is there anything else I should consider doing when I bring them inside??

Best advice - don’t do it. Aaaaaaand if you must, take clones, and completely submerge them in a good insecticidal solution before putting them in your clone medium. Be prepared to have a follow up ipm routine just in case, and cross your fingers and toes for luck.

I agree, don't.

Even if I soak them a couple times in Dr Zymes??
im guessing the hesitation is the fear of bringing in pests ??

I dont see a problem I do it all the time, Just stay on top of your IPM HARD! before flower kicks in.

It’s doable, but I’ve had bad luck the few times I’ve tried. That bad luck then became its own problem I had to deal with. My advice is to take cuts because there’s less places for creepy crawlies to hide, and they’re easier to effectively treat.

Especially if you already have plant(s) growing inside.

A few missed eggs can turn into a full blown infestation inside where there are no predators, and conditions are ideal.
Then it's a whole thing trying to get them gone for good. I've done it...I'll never do it again. If that helps.

I did it one time and only one time the loss of at least 2 crops so I'll say it DON'T DO IT

Murphy's General Laws

• Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
• If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
• If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
• Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
• If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
• Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
• Mother nature is a bitch.

Theres also probably critters in the soil that you don’t want inside
