Indoor/Outdoor Veg? Sun to HPS?

Is it possible to veg from morning sun to late afternoon and then transfer to your bloom room where you got your flowering plants going. I was thinking economically and came up with the idea 2 days ago, but worried that the offset may hurt the growth. Let me know what you think.

-Bloom/Dark grow Tent is doing 12/12 with 6 small 10"-12" plants with a 250HPS fixture, tent size is 2' x 2' x 5'-2". Also i got the fixture about 2' 1/2" feet up, will i be having heat problems if i don't use my fan all the time?

hmmm you could run into some problems, like

- forgetting the plants over night, spilling them, plants getting too heavy to move
- plants growing too tall outside for your indoor setup
- yes you will be having heat problems w/out the fan on
- you may have heat problems even with the fan on all the time - 5'2'' sounds too small - plants may bump the light and burn

True. I'm trying both pruning and bending their direction to make them fat little bushes. id like to max the space with 3 bush plants. Its only a 250 and it seems like im doing ok with the heat as of now, but we will see approuching summer.

But i should just keep them indoor on veg?

I like the idea but I think you're risking hermies if you do that. You're probably better just vegging completely with the CFL. really trying to keep that energy bill down huh? :D
