I know I should post this in another thread but y'all have been a huge help so far with quick answers on this thread...I have my plants about an inch tall now, its been about a week. During the day here its so sunny and warm out, and at night it gets pretty chilly...I was wondering if its cool if I put the plants out during the day and bring them in under the 2 4ft T8s that i have at night? Im trying to veg until its warm enough outside to plant and leave there.

Neighbors are definitely no worry where I live lol, in the woods right on the edge of city limits in a small town so its pretty chill. And the climate is suitable for the plants during the day...sunny 72 F and a low at night of 45 F.

then your golden..
Sweet, appreciate the help! I wasn't sure because I know the hours of light get shorter when plants should flower, and as stupid as it might sound I wasn't sure if there was a different spectrum of light being emitted during the natural vegetative growth.

Lol, them would be some happy mites, but nah! i think you should smoke some. smell isn't everything, just keep it jarred up.
Then they died happy...lol But seriously I will smoke some as soon as I think it is cured enough. But the other ladies are getting the axe as soon as I get together the shit to hang em up
My hands are sticky just from moving them around a lil to get the lights to take em down. Guess they cant be that bad.

make sure to use bulbs indoor that are for veg growth. Around 6500K is where you wanna be. House lights usually come in 2700 or 6500 if you are using cfl etc...

Yea Im pretty sure I have 6500k on the T8s but I have this little 150watt clamp light with a 23watt cfl and the light looks really red like compared to the T8s, that was my best guess.

Oh man Bassman, I'd make the butter. That is the best way to do it... especially if your weed isn't of connoisseur quality. buy a $20 coffee grinder, and grind it all up. But a $30 crockpot at any large discount store, and clarify the butter first before you add the weed. Then put all the ganj in there, maybe with a couple + cups of water to make sure nothing burns. Cook it in 2 hr intervals, letting it cool each time, and stirring every so often. The water is your insurance policy w/ a crockpot, and will allow you to walk away and get some shit done while your butter is a bakin'. Then strain the shit out w/ cheese cloth and let it all cool in a bowl in the fridge. The butter separates on top, and is all nice and green. I usually use 1 oz trim to 1 lb butter, and it's pretty nuts. Especially if you take the time to bake the butter 3 times total. . . fook me. :peace:

As long as you have some white-blue spectrum you are fine, that other light wont hurt. If you use only red-orange light for veg they might grow too tall.

put it all in there! everything but the stems. and grind. you don't have to turn it into pot flour-- I like to give it a few gentle pulses. afterwards you'd be surprised by the amount of keif that collects on the inside, too bongsmilie

I wonder if I let them get to be like 5ft before I put them outside if the will grow a lot more in height...
Without HID lights you would be hard pressed to get that tall, but if you do and the season is right they will prolly stretch more outside in the sun.

dirtpoor- welcome to the 600 and hope you enjoy the thread as much as we all do. i will have to disagree with the other people above about you placing your plants outside. most growers will say never bring anything from outside to the inside since you will be carrying pest and other unwanted things into your grow room.

He is gonna move them back and forth day and night. They are more vulnerable yes, but he puts back out every day too. You have a good point though, and he might want to use an organic pesticide in the soil.

I see your points now, thanks for the help I better understand the ways of the force lol. I will definitely have to look into the pesticide thing, and in a few weeks I'm going to be able to buy an HID (400watt, maybe a 600)

she is right that pests outdoors are less of a problem, with natural predators like ladybugs etc...
They might be on the plants and spread the problem to other plants in the house too.
