So Even Though They Are Used To My Grow Room Temps And My Humidifier In My Grow Roomw Ouldnt They Go Under Certain Shock If Switched Like That? I Think Im Gonna Leave Them Out During Day And Grow Room Them At Night Will This Work? Will I See A Noticiable Gain, I Thought Sunlight Is Only Rated At 3000 Lumens? Well Not Like In Outerspace But Like On The Earth Isnt It Only Worth 3000 Lumens?

Okay Awesum So Say Hypothetically Someone Had Like A 1000 Watt Hps System Over One Plant, Would Sunlight Still Be Better Than That? So Seriously I Should Take Them Outside, The Effect Of The Sunlight Over Rides The Shock Or Will There Be No Shock?

they need to adjust so like 30 min a day for two days then like an hour. The hps is good I dunno if better , but I would think really good due to penitration of light intensity

okay well thankyou, but someone told me it'd be better off to leave it in the growroom because moving out in the sun would cause humidity and temp shock but i think sunlights great and i'll start taking them out small amount of time at a time thank you

They look kinda small for 43 days.( does that include the time from putting the seeds in or after they popped up?) But don't looked stretched (considering the lights) hows the temps?

Only prob with sun is you are rather limited to the calendar for the lighting schedule. (and maybe more bugs. Keep in mind windows will filter out some light)

well i could leave them on the window sill with it open to let the breeze in so when the lighting is hot on my sill i will do that to avoid security issues, but im gonna take um out in the yard as well, yes they are 43 days old from seed, yes ur right they are really small for there age i know, i recently over the last 2 weeks have seen the most change cuz ive upgraded lighting , moved plants closer to lighting which is a biggie, ended stretching and added a humidifier i keep it around 70- 75 degress in my grow room...8-)
