ok so im currently Harding off my plant, shes about 6-7 weeks into veg i had her outside today in the shade most of the day so i didnt burn her up due to heat stress, but ive also heard when harding off your plants you want to bring them in at Night due to cold temperatures? i was wondering if it will be alright if i bring her in at night and then back out first thing in the morning? will it be ok by doing this instill shes good and ready for the outdoors..
thanks again!

ha yeah i dont post on forums on much - but ive been lurking for a while - personally been growing for 15 yrs i dont know if qualifies me as an "expert" - but ill try and help - plants respire, that is they breath, if you just sit your plant in a still environment with no air circulation co2 and oxygen etc are not able to properly enter/exit the plant - your plant isnt breathing properly if there is no air circulation ... just a small moving fan is all you need ... keeps humidity down somewhat as well which helps with moulds ... temps will be ok, just slowly expose your plant to more sun - to harden off i move seedlings (two sets of leaves) into half sun/shade (morning sun) for two weeks then full sun after that - thats it - my temps would be similar but a little warmer

im sorry bout that and i do hear what your sayin and i thank you, so when harding off when bringing them inside should i leave the light on or off for them? or should i leave them in my mini grow closet with the lights off till bringing back outside?

because my lights are off at the moment and they where getting 18/6..

ok so if they where getting 18/6 and now there going outside for the day (12hrs?) and then inside (in the dark?) the light exposure time has changed - so if you keep doing what your doing you will force your plants to flower, if
you take them back inside and keep the lights on them so they are still getting 18/6 you will still veg ... how big do you want your plants to grow ? you can veg for 6 mths if you want give rise to monsters or you can leave them now at what 2 months ? and they will flower into nice sized plants i would imagine ...

There really isnt any reason that you cant leave it out overnight.
In the desert I get very hot days and very cool nights, plants are fine.

well my plant is bout 9'-10' inches tall, i do wanna flower her when shes about 2 ft tall or soo, will it be alright if she stays in the dark just this one time and then 2marro put her back on the 18/6 after bringing her in from the outside, lets say sunset is around 8ish then id put her under my grow light for bout 4 hours which will be 18 hours total... thats where im lost right now man lol.

so should i turn my lights back on then?

yeah you will be fine - take the plant indoors and under light before it gets noticeably darker outside though - you will shock the plant if you take it in from dusk to bright light for four hrs ..
but then im a very caring kinda guy when it comes to my ladies ...
