Outdoor mixing indoor and outdoor

[crab]

hi all,
i'm newbie, so I would ask you some thing to start with autos.
first, may I mix indoor lighting for the first 2-3 week of growing (to grow a lot with more light time and keeping in warm during the night till summer comes) and then putting the girls outside in the balcony? I've heard the auto don't like so much changing of light schedule... is there a way to do this?
and more, I need to do stealth growing, so height and even smell must be moderate and fast.
I've found barney's sin tra bajo, tangelo rapido, critical rapido and grape muerte... they seems to be fast and short, but I don't know about the smell. do someone have experience with them or any suggestion?

thanks a lot for help!

Yes, you can start your plants indoors and then move them outdoors with no problems. I start all mine under a 24/0 schedule until they sex, then they get moved either outdoors or under my LEDs on a 20/4 schedule. In fact, I would recommend you not put them outdoors until they have at least 4-5 sets of true leaves. Sorry, can't give you any information on those strains. Check the Strain Review forum, there may be some information there.

thanks muddy! why the change has to be done after sexing? sorry, i'm a bit ignorant!

I mostly grow regular seeds and start them in 1/2 gallon juice containers. By waiting until they sex I can then transplant only the females. That way I'm not committing a 3 gallon pot to a male. If you're growing fems you can start them in their final pots and avoid transplanting.

Am doing the same, indoor to outdoor my reason is to cut down on a lot of stretching that could happen on grey, rainy cloudy days. Which seem to never end... Where is summer?

I think I saw a glimpse of summer yesterday, but now it's gone there's no sign for the rest of the week here

I as well am starting indoors under T5 than planting outside, do you hardin them off at all? I got some botanicare zho root inoculate to assist in transplant

Crab I am doing the exact thing as u, the only difference is I have a small fan hitting them on low to build root strength its been really windy where im at lately.

I'm doing something like that atm due to heat. Still in pots, but in the morning I move them into the sun, at night I put them under t5s. Working out good since the change up.
