question about transitioning a plant from natural light to artificial

so i have a few plants about 5 ft tall and they haven been all natural outdoor and i was wondering if i could make the transition to them living under an artificial light? thanks

of course u can....if u have the right lighting.

plants at 5ft will require A LOT of light penetration through the canopy. you will need to use HPS lighting at a minimum, and you will need to be able to continue to provide it a decent environtment, around 80 degrees F, with the right Relative Humidity levels.

You could pull some healthy clones off a 5 foot plant and put them under the artificial light.If a plant has had natural sunlight all its life and you switch it to an artificial light,you would cut down the yeild.Like medical grade said you would need alot of light penetration.As far as i know there isnt an artificial light that can compare to full on natural sunlight,there are a lot of braggers but nothing beats the real thing.

pulling some clones and starting a lot of small plants at uniform level may yield more, absolutely, will just add another 2 months and 3 weeks till harvest, estimated.

i would just cut clones and move those indoors.

thanks everyone. i was looking into the clones but im not near any botanical stores or a hydro shop so i cant find any rooting gell (any suggestions such as cheap hardware store brands?) i have also read about cutting the clone off under water and that helps the roots out a bit, please dont quote me on that one though. thanks

ive used rooting powder that i bought at the hardware stores garden section.

You don't really need cloning gel/powder, it just helps a little bit. I've cloned without it before, and it worked about the same, as if I'd used rooting hormone. You can cut 'em underwater, if you want, some guys swear by it. I've never done it, and get rooting times of 5-7 days, typically, with near 100% success. I throw all my cuttings in a glass of water, for 1/2 hour or so, before slicing the bottom and transferring them to the medium, so that they're fully hydrated, and it works great. I've always wondered if that 'bubble theory' is a crock of shit, and i'm pretty sure it is.lol I don't give a crap, really, because i swish my cuttings around in rooting gel, and if there was indeed a 'supposed' air bubble, it's gone after that, anyway.

Don't worry about air bubbles, just make sure to take healthy cuttings, make sure the temps are correct,(around 80* works great for me) make sure the stem is making good solid contact with whatever medium you choose, mist them twice a day, throw them in a humidity dome under whatever light schedule you plan to use for veg, and you'll be good to go. Yes, there are other details, but this isn't a cloning thread, plus I just woke up, and don't feel like typing anymore, atm.haha
