lot of clouds these days, does it matter?? or should i alternate to a small growroom?? Also, can i alternate to cfl growroom daily?? i only get 5-6 hrs direct sunlight..thanks
.... oh, there less then a week old
 
if they are less than a week old, move them inside and put them under CFL or MH and continue to veg 18-24 hours of light every day for a couple more weeks, when they get a little bigger put them outside.

once they are outside and growing dont move them around too much. they will acclimate themselves to their environment.

Leave them be. Theres way more light hitting your plants outdoors even when its cloudy. Way more that you could ever produce with a CFL.

As Billy Sunday said, if you're only getting 5-6hrs a day outdoors now, and you can get a decent amount of CFL light, e.g. 60 watt +, then it may be best to bring them indoors for a few more weeks, then let them flower outside in the most lit area you can find.

If you were getting more direct sun I'd advocate leaving them alone.

I agree with ripshot, but considering they are only like a week old you might wanna consider giving them a little jump start (CFLs) before letting them run wild completely....

Wow. A truely divided thread without resulting to name calling.

I too have mixed feelings. I would say outside would recieve more light, but I wouldn't put them out until they are a couple weeks old. Look into building a small grow box.
