bringing outdoor plants indoors QUESTIONS

alright guys, my outdoor photoperiod plants are starting to flower. this is my first time growing outdoors and i just recently harvested a couple autoflowers. and i have a few more autos close to harvest. so far 2/5 have had minor bud rot.

now the state i’m in.. the most HUMID time of year is September.
so far the ONLY bugs i’ve seen on any plants are leafhoppers and there’s not more than 3-5 on them at a time. honesty never seen more than 2 per plant.

my mag landrace (the big plant all the way to the left) is going to be a BIG BITCH when she stops stretching. and the flowers that come from this strain are POTENT.

i am going to bring at least the ML indoors. how do i treat these leafhoppers?
i’m planning to place these plants in a 5x10 in my basement.

i’m not gonna lie man, i would rather keep these outdoors but i don’t want to risk bud rot on a plant that’s going to pull a lb+.

also not talking about the little autoflower in the pics.

help me fellas please lol

umm first question, what are your plans about bugs? jc

3 words for ya, Summer Light Deprivation!! It's the only way to go in a super humid September n October climate. I've been rolling a light dep. since the first week of July. Inside a panda film covered greenhouse. They go in at 6 p.m. then my light turns on at 6 a.m. in the greenhouse. Much airflow involved during lights out. Their under supplemental sf-4000 till about 8-9 a.m. Then they are placed manually under summertime sunshine till 6 pm etc. Rinse n repeat. It works good for me. As it is too Heartbreaking to lose 50% of your outdoor crop in mid October to bud rot. These will be finished by September 15th at the latest on their light dep. schedule. I'm happy so far with today's pics

so like i said, the only bugs on any of these plants NOW are leafhoppers. peroxide and water mixed foliar spray got rid of anything else. but these lead hoppers man... i kill them and more show up

brotha, that’s nice. but it doesn’t help me and my situation lol

honestly i just need to figure out how to get rid of these leafhoppers. and i want to know if bringing her indoors now will be too stressful.

i guess i’m just gonna have to take a little time and kill all the hoppers and then bring her straight inside.

I did a light dep grow 2 summers ago and it was a little too much work in my opinion. I don’t think bringing photoperiods inside will stress them too much. They’ve flipped already right? Then it’s ok to give them a full 12 hours of dark to send a real strong signal to them. The only problems are the extra effort, especially if they’re big, and bugs. Super easy to infect an inside crop by bringing outside plants inside.
Can you keep them away from inside plants( if you have any)? Real nice to have a room about 50% RH to put them in when they have bud on too. Keeps the molds and mildews away, but that’s why you’re doing it anyway, right.

No there's absolutely no way to prevent an indoor plant from getting bugs from a outdoor plant placed near it. Outdoor plants will always have some mite, or nasty bug.! Always. It's a general rule not to do that. But I play outside so I used to it.

Lol
Remember last month when I told you that you have bugs and you argued me and told me that it's normal? You shoulda taken care of it then. Peace

telling you that i had grasshoppers (leafhoppers) is arguing? it’s crazy how someone can go out of their way to be a dick but can’t offer any advice when someone asks for help. i feel sorry for you friend.

it's not a big plant, dont be offended, i only mean it isnt going to support a vast horde of insect armageddon. Douse the leaves, both sides, with an alcohol/water/soap mix. do it early morning then move the plant indoors. The soil, well you can put some DE on it, or do like i do and just put some aluminum foil over the top of the pot to keep flying insects at bay.

Don't. I have lots of weed with no bugs in it I'm good.

It's just hilarious. You ask we tell. You do the opposite then post again with same probs

If the plant on the left is stretching now, then there's no way it's going to be even close to a LB.

Save yourself the trouble of bringing bugs inside and just leave it outside.

i see thrip damage in those pics i would hit with spinosad 3 times in the next 10 days.

I hate fuckin piece of shit leaf hoppers. I wouldn't bring them indoors where there is nothing to keep them in check.

I had them once. You think oh they're big, you can see them and pick them off, there aren't that many. Dirty bastards. Mites and other nasties hitch hike on their legs. They also multiply indoors faster than you would think. If I ever see another one standing on it's head sucking juice out of my leaves I'll go berserk!
They are strong and hard to get rid of in my experience.

Leaf hoppers are worse than you may think!!

I would not bring the outside to the inside, especially if you have a dialed, bug free room. Likelihood of cross contamination is high. Not worth the risk. I won't even go in my room wearing shoes that have been outside.

gotcha. i think i’m gonna buy a tarp and some stakes and i’ll just throw a tarp over her if it rains. only thing i can do honestly.

Perhaps a big box fan on them as well, in the cool, damp mornings to help dry them off. That morning dew can be a bitch.

As much airflow as possible whether natural or from a electrical fan. 4 week and on buds need constant regular air exchange to help prevent the dreaded boytritus

You can try the old school grocery store method. A gallon of water with maybe 1/4 gallon of fresh squized lemon juice that has been filtered. 1/4 cup of non-scented dish soap. Will usually kill any small mites or knats and the likes of. Just do it in the morning or evening. And hit the underside of every leaf first. It Works.
