I've been flowering indoors on a 1000watt HPS for 5 weeks now. My power requirments surpassed what the wire that was there could handle safely and ended up giving me melted wiring. I didnt burn down the house thank God but im being forced to go outdoors now. This is week 6 now and they have been outdoors for about 4 days. Will they finish ok? They are in a spot that gives them about 6hrs of direct light and about 10 total with day light. What problems will I have? I was having a spider mite problem anyways and now its under contol outdoors, what? go figure? maybe the mites dont like cold. Anyways now is Feb and its cold but since its socal its not out of hand but im sure its a shock to my 68 deg indoor temps. WHats going to happen.:?:

it should have tripped the circuit first before melting the wire.. if it didnt i would suggest getting it checked out.

Thanks Clonex. I hope I dont have too many issues but there is a few bugs on them already. And they look to be yellowing a bit now. I use iguana grow and iguana bloom. Hope that helps.

Oh no...hell yeah it goes below 60. It gets to like 50 sometimes. So what can I do to ease into the new grow method? What problems will I see first normally? Any help will be nice.

They will probably die. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 50's will kill them. Maybe not the first couple of nights but after a while yeah. It also may stress it so bad the plant will kick into survival mode and growth will all but stop.

They will lock down if too cold,stop producing buds and just go purple and smoke rough.
