Can outdoor plants be finished indoor

so? what happend? did it flower good or?













I have had an outdoor grow going this season. I just harvested all my blueberry


plants and have one northern lights plant (which has flowered much slower) left to harvest. The northern lights plant isn't very far into its flower cycle so i am thinking about bringing it indoor and putting it under my 400 watt HPS to speed it up a bit. I have never transfered an outdoor plant indoors and am looking for some advice on it.

Will this change in light put my plant under to much stress?

Will the intensity of the HPS burn the tips of my leaves on the top cola?

Any info will help

I don't know if im late in talking to you....but do not do it.do not take them out of the ground.If they grew up in pot's then i'd say ya but do not move them from the ground.

I had 3 out of 5 seeds of WTF all turn female...got one left and it's September 23rd in northern Ontario outside...it'll be real nice until Sunday when it starts to get ready to freeze solid for 6 months or so. This on is just not close to ready. White hairs, new buds everywhere, lots of freaky one leafers, three leafers...I cut a shitload of stupid wanna-be fan leaves from it and it looks like it could go at least another month. It has fairly skinny leaves all around. I think it's a sativa cross. The change of light and the amount of time it's been in bud...8 weeks. I'd like to put this five foot plant inside with hps. Thing is, I only have a 70 watt hps fixture. It'll be slow growth, but it'll grow. Any suggestions as to maybe this is not a good idea, or could this be done? I'd get some nice danky buds, but it could be much better if she could grow into maturity...put her in the ground in May, veg it out into a wee tree, bud it again...climb it. Getting carried away. I'll post a picture or three...see if you can tell me the strain...all you budxperts. I think it's more sativa than indica for a few reasons.

I have taken in ground plants and put them in pots. They will undergo stress, especially when they are flowering. I wouldnt suggest it, but if it has to be done be very careful with the roots and dont damage them if possible.
Also it is likely that here are bugs on them, other outdoor bugs help to combat them. but brought indoors they can get out of control. I wouldnt use any pesticides on them unless you are letting them go at least 10 more days after.
Good luck!

Im no expert
Leave enough green and some buds.
Switch to veg (high N) nutes and switch to 18/6 or more hrs light

I dont really know.
I suppose it would be easier to harvest first so you wont struggle harvesting a flowering plant.
Maybe give it a few days after harvesting then transplant it.

Yeah you def wanna harvest before moving indoors if you have the luxury. Repot and bring indoors the same day if you can, get all the stress out of the way at once if you plan to bring it inside to reveg. Make sure to trim down the root ball so it has room to grow(and repot in a bigger pot if you have the space) so the roots don't get all bound up. Recently did this with an unknown strain of bagseed that ended up being a pleasant surprise. Took about 3 weeks for it to recover and start shooting the mutated leaves under very low light (2x23w cfls at 24 hours). Can't wait to start cloning this baby. =)

I guarantee if you bring that plant indoors you will have an infestation of spider mites. I've done it twice both times ended with spider mites. Even after spraying them before bringing them in.

I had my plant outside all summer since here the weather gets colder I’m bringing her in only at night and using the 400w hps she already flower and showed buds while outside I’m just trying to regulate her temps so it doesn’t turn purple on me ! Any other suggestions or recommendations?
She hasn’t gone into stress on me with this method and so far no mites should I just keep her inside as temps are going on the 60-40’s
