Wussup y'all! I was wondering if its possible to Veg 17 hrs by doing 6-7 hrs under CFL's, then putting em in the sun for 11 hrs? Will this keep em Veging, or mess em up?

The reason I'm asking is cause I'm balcony growing in India, and we get 12 hrs sun year round. I've noticed my plants going into flower pretty early. Eventually, I wanna Veg inside, Flower outside, but the Veg room won't be complete for a while. With what I do currently have tho.. I was thinking I could indoor for 6ish hrs and mix with outdoor, for the time being.

Please let me know what y'all think? Thanks!

go ahead and try, see for yourself, I doubt it will put much if any stress on em, specially in Veg, Im actually doing a similar thing right now, more or less, Im near harvest time in my grow room, in a week or so I cut em down and switch the 600W HPS with some T5HOs and start over, to get some early smoke from my next run, I grow a single Auto beside 4 "normal" Femi seeds, and to get it done even faster I started it early, a week ago, and is moveing it out my grow room to my window shelf every day, so it gets 12 hrs with the 600W HPS and 12 hours in the window, tho 3-4 of them is night time before the sun sets and it all start over agin, no problem so fare, now I just wondering how it will react to 18/6 under some 6500/2700K T5HOs

The only problem with doing this is the outdoor plants bring bugs back into your indoor growing area.

Yeah dude.. I was thinking the same thing earlier! I don't think it'll get bad, tho. I got chicken wire covering the entire balcony, I keep the area clean n organized, and spray some hardcore pest control all over and on the pots, 1-2 times a week.
