hello rollitup, I'm attempting my second grow but indoors this time, I found some seeds in my bubba sack.. And I planted them outside let nature sprout them. I take them in at nite and throw under my cfl 48 watt (4,000 lumen) for 2 hours because I wake up at 530 and then I put them outside at 730 when sun is up Rinse and repeat.. Till there big enough for mh/hps, will that stress them out?

More details...did you pot them in like MG soil and just set the pot outside, or did you put it in the ground soil and cut around it and pot it? If using store soil, no point in putting it outside; they can grow from seed under MH/HPS. Just alot of unnecessary transferring. Not to mention, every time you take your plant outside and bring it in, you run the risk of bringing harmful outside elements inside (i.e. bugs/pests, molds, bad bacteria, etc.)

l would just leave them under the flouros the whole time...inconsistent, fluctuating envioronmental factors themselves may not harm the plant (as long as they're not too out of whack), but can make a recovery more difficult...at least inside you can control all those factors to your/the plants liking. Also, CO2 levels outside usually range around 300-400ppm, while indoor CO2 levels remain a bit higher at 500-600ppm
