so if you veg indoors until u reach the height ur looking for whatever that my be could u put them outdoor in a greenhouse to flower starting in nov? i have heaters to keep it warm at night and it doesnt freeze very often here. the only thing im worried about is the sun coming out to give enough light to keep them goin. has anyone had any luck trying this or is this a waste of time?

This is what I do to finish my current grow. But where im at the sun just isnt the same as it is in the summer months. Fall is mostly heavy overcast and rain. Not good.

I would try it if you have aplant or 2 to spare. If it turns out well then you'll know for next winter.

I tried last year in my greenhouse,.........fail!

Good buds never formed. Lots of frosty leaves, no buds. I made hash out of it all.

Good luck bro, hope you have better luck than I did.

I put thm out end of October last year. They were vegged indoors to 4' tall.

I didn't have any heat though, you should have a better chance

Don't expect dense buds unless you have HPS lighting in there.

I meant HPS lighting in your greenhouse. It's not required, but it will sure make a difference in the winter months.

I would definitly try to get a couple hps lights on movers in there for supplemental light. That's the only way your going to get good thick buds.
