Switching from indoor to out door?

So I’m in about my 7th week of flower my plants look beautiful but it’s the perfect time for them
To be outside with temps in low 80 high 70s during the day and low 60 during the night. I want to switch them to day time natural light but my light schedule was 6:30 pm to 6:30 am. What would happen if I were to give them 24 hr of darkness and start them in natural sunlight the next day seeing how the sun rises at 6:34 am and sets at 6:38 or so? Just curious first time growing any plants is it a good idea? Would it cause too much stress? Would it help?

Dont do it brah. No successful grower does this.
A lot of people switch to natural daylight it’s a common thing I’ve read about it in numerous pages and a ton of people in arizona who start indoor and move outdoor it’s a common practice but it’s already been done and my plants couldnt be happier honestly. Leaves straight out perked up

To finish their plants...the last few weeks...okay. good luck with your experiment. Highly not reccomended.
Im sorry i am used to my peers, farmers. Not 1-2 pound growers. Good luck with your experiment.

Your initial post by you states the most obvious reason. But you didnt even realize it. Some learn thru practice, others learn from failure.

I promise you this won’t fail if anything it boosts flower growth I’m in my last 3/4 weeks of flower and everyone I talked to said it was a good idea. Not like I don’t have 7 more plants ready to flower

You still fail to realize what will happen. You have never done this. So yes experiment. In three to four weeks with lengthening days you likely wont be too happy. Likely they will stretch a bit in some strains or start to revert to veg growth. That does not make better bud. In others you gonna get bananas and then some seeds.

I personally no but my cuz has and he’s been growing for 15 years says it doesn’t hurt. I’m not worried about it they look happy and they aren’t looking sad and how will I revert back to veg with 11 hr and 57 min of daylight and 12 hr and 3 minutes of dark. How does that make them reveg? Just curious cause doesn’t it take 18/24 hr of light to veg‍♂ Flowers grow in the night cycle. Oh not to mention what happens when people have power outages without a generator? Like I said I don’t think it’s going to hurt it. Might stress it a little bit but won’t hurt it. Seeds are not an issue. They don’t get to full potential that’s fine I didn’t expect a perfect harvest considering I brought the plants down to arizona from ohio after they were already full grown and ready for flowers. People said not to do that but I did and they turned out fine. I’m sure 1 switch won’t fuck with them. Just saying.

And I’m less than three weeks away from harvest and the plants indoor are staying indoor through flower. Like you said I’m experimenting with my first grow.

Good on leaving your flowering plants where they are to finish! Thats what i thought your question was about. If you put those out they sure as hell would notice 3-5 minute longer days.
A power outage during flower isnt that bad cause you just have a much longer night, then back to 12/12. For longer power outages we use back up generators.
Generally outdoors 14hrs sunlight will veg plants outdoors and most indoors 16/8 light dark works well. The difference in length of in vs out is dawn and dusk, that makes the day length to the plant longer than the almamacs stated day length.
Ive seen it in spring light dep mid April,

Arizona is exactly 12 hours a day right now. I’m close to harvest I gave them 24 hours after their lights shut off and then put them outside for the sunrise and sunset there won’t be 2 hours added in two weeks

Do you have TBI? Now you gonna do whatcha said you wasnt gonna do.You have no idea or plan to what you're doing. Have fun with your hobby.
In two weeks the daylength (for humans business purposes) of sunrise to sunset will be 40 some minutes longer. You say you need 3-4 weeks, you will be near 14 hours by then.
When counting in dusk and dawn the natural day length for plants will be even longer, they so get light before sunrise during dawn. So in 3-4 weeks you plants could be stretchy or worse. Thats the risk. Or as you said before your TBI set in let them finish in their space for 3 more weeks and have zero risk.

There is nothing wrong with putting them outside, just do it slowly, like a few hours one day and work your way up to all day. It will take the plant some adjustment to adapt to the new lighting. Flowering still happens at less than 14.5 hours, ask me I did this this go around reducing it from 14.5 to 11.5 now. Buds formed at 14.5 hours on my plants indoor.
