Can I combine indoor /outdoor grow

So i sprouted a couple of seeds and placed them in peat pots with Fox farms Ocean Forest.

Did well for a few days but i for some reason I placed peat pot in larger 5 gal bucket and for sure overwatered. Leaf tips are brown but plant is still growing, thankfully. I have 2 under T5 bulbs in a tent . Temp at mid 80's. Hard to get humidity above 25%.

Here in Fl this time of year we get light from 7 A.M. to about 8 P.M.

Days are getting longer.

Wondering if there is any advantage to placing plants outside from morning to dusk then placing in tent for an additional 6 hours of T5?

No security issues with outside . i'm thinking "fresh air' and natural light would be helpful along with slightly higher humidity at about 35-40%

Any downside to natural sunlight followed by 8 4 ft 6500 K T5 in a tent?

Too soon to just let them veg outdoors or are days long enough? I'm thinking to wait till say June when days are at least 14 hours long. Leave them outside in big pots and then in mid summer move pots into tent under T5 flower bulbs.

Any thoughts?

The only thing I know about moving plants in and out is that you may bring in pests that you may not normally have indoors. Other than that I hope you have a strong back.

Yes. Ive seen this done very effectively under 1000w lights effectively reducing power consumption by 3/4 and producing solid nuggets.
