I have a Dutch passion Auto Blueberry
My gro journal: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/501343-2nd-grow-1-fem-dp.html
I have her in my closet with (4) 42watt 2700k bulbs[pluged in a 4 way socket For the top lighting] and (2) 26watt 5600k bulbs[pluged in a 2 way "Y" socket for side lighting]
I have the lights set on for 20 hours ON and 4 hours OFF
-I CAN NOT Afford nor want HID aka HPS or MH lights...not an option
I DO In fact have a small greenhouse...Greenhouse gro journal: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/502214-greenhouse-grow.html
My Question is should I keep my girl in the closet with the CFLs during her flowering stage or should i put her in my Greenhouse?
Right now in Central Cali it is nice weather...no frost but my only concern is we only get 12 hours of sunlight right now
Will I yeild more with 20 hours of light a day from my current CFLs or 12 hours of the natures SUN!?
Please help...Here are some day 30 current pics if your too lazy to look at my gro journals

sun is always best... there may be less ambient hours a day then in your closet but the light from the sun is significantly more powerful but heres what ive heard sources say they do with indoor clones going outside find out how much ambient light your area is getting you can find that out on google. then over the coarse of the next 7 days try and match those hours in your grow room just so you avoid force-flowering the plant when it goes outside (might not matter with the autos). now i dont know if it will benefit the auto to cut the light down so what i would do is stick that girl in your greenhouse you always get bigger yields outside.

hope it helps

I have grown autos outside remember 12 hrs of light but direct sun is much diffrent. Why don't you use the sun to offset say 8 hrs of light then back to the cfl. I know ppl are going to say outside plants never go back to the grow room but it can be done on a small scale if you think in advance.
