Is it okay to put plants under cfl and sun in the day

[Mr420man]

I live in sunny Florida is it okay to put them under cfls all night then in direct sunlight in the day

 

[SnakierGrizzly]

i dont see why not-i know if you have an HID it can cause stress-but with cfls it shouldnt matter

If you have access to direct sunlight for your plants, they are getting more than enough in Florida during the day right now. We are sun up at 7 and sundown past 7:30 and you're probably getting 100k lumen per square inch

If you put a picture or drawing of the sun inside your grow tent is can help with the transition. The bigger the picture the better.

Don't put a picture of some big nasty close up of a solar flare or something like that cause it will burn the plants.

 

[Serapis]

This might help then...

its fine doing that, cfls at night and sun in the day.

So my outdoor plants should have CFLs too? What's the point?

 

[legallyflying]

YES! the smiley faces will cause an increase in auxin production so expect new shoot growth.

MY buddy put this picture in his CFL flower room and roasted the hell out of his plants.

I would install the CFL's outside...just for those extra lumens

So much for global warming

he´s talking about taking the plants inside to put under cfls at night, to lengthen the veg.

and thats fine.

I was just wondering what is the point? the plant isn't getting enough light outdoors all day long? I'm failing to see any benefit to taking a plant from an extreme light source to a CFL? Surely the plant isn't going to photosynthesize anywhere near the outdoor level, so why bother? Do you have comparissons or tests to show, or are you only advocating that it won't hurt the plant?

Take advantage of the sun as long as you can.

No light on the market can replace the spectrum of the sun.

I do it all the time for my clones during veg...8 hours of sun and the rest artificial.

 

[Serapis]

Good luck!

the only possible explanation i can think of is to lengthen the day, keeping the plant from flowering, but ive no idea how long the day is now there.

 

[legallyflying]

the only reason to give the extra bit of light is too keep them from flowering.

OK, but we have already passed Spring Equinox... I have plants outside and they are not flowering. I'm sure it's ok to do it, I'm just wondering why bother?

Lots of people are currently unemployed. I heard the gunshine state is pretty fucking strict on weed growers, I wouldn't put shit outside.
