Outdoor to indoor?

Hi guys, these are my two girls I've been vegging outside from seed since April. Thinking of putting them inside to flower them out. Any advice on what i can do about bugs? I know going outside to in is usually a big no no due to pests and pathogens.
They are very heathy plants and have no obvious pests i think due to the ‘wild’ eco system that is my greenhouse, i have plenty of predators lurking about outside. My main question is: should i go for a neem/essential oil type spray to try to eradicate everything and keep this Up once maybe twice before flowers develop?
Or.. just bring them in ‘bugs n all’ as i have spiders with webs on them standing guard. I will add some ladybirds and possibly other beneficials depending on price and just try to keep it wild inside the growtent. Ive taken a kinda no till approach with the soil in the 5gal fabric pots so would love to try stay organic as possible but at them same time i want these flowers and the place i reside just doesnt get the 12-12 light outside for long enough. thanks for any advice guys!
Please go easy if this is a bad idea im new peace out tokers! Stay high!
Strains are: darkstar and lemon skunk

Do you already have other indoor plants ?

when changing to artificial light or any light they haven't seen before be sure to slowly acclimate it to that light source so you don't bleach your leaves

as for bugs if you have other plants it may not be a great idea but It is a good idea to get them inside because once the buds get big enough bugs and stuff will be able to hide in your plant easier. I would spray them with a pesticide 2-3 applications since your still not budding and it will give the organic pesticide time to break down and be absorbed by the plant before harvest.

If no other plants are indoors you could chance it though if you don't like using pesticides possibly even predatory insects

Lolly pop as much as you can,inspect all leaves with a microscope so you know whats going on.

Just gotta be careful bringing bugs in.
You might think there's nothing on the plants but once they get some nice indoor temperatures the pests population will explode
Definitely spray them a few times.
I've done outdoors to indoors a few times over the years.
I can't flower outdoors as it's too cold and there's not enough sunlight here either.
But I get good vegging results through end of May to end of August.
This Sensi Star original cut was transplanted into ~ 5 gal pot from 3 gal yesterday and is coming indoors to flower shortly.
I'll spray it with sbd plant invigorator, a kill on contact insect and foliar feed spray.
I'm ordering thrip predators tomorrow to hang on plant too.
So, just be vigilant and be prepared for pests.
Good luck

No indoor plants to contaminate, the tent is empty. Going to bleach it before they go in. I will defoliate some more and try to flatten the canopy even abit. Possibly scrogg them with a net.
As for acclimatising them i might have to pull a light out for a couple of hours in the evening?
Thanks for the advice!

yes if they arent flowering you just want to put the light very far away and then every day extend the hours you use that light while bringing it closer to regular hanging height

If its budding be sure to acclimate with this light during the on cycle to speed up budding time and not put it back to veg

Good looking plants guys!
I was planning on doing the exact thing, knowing id have to bring them inside in October at some point. But I decided to just keep them inside and buy another light and make small grow closet/cubicle in the basement. Was going to get a tent but this way I have no size restrictions.
The bug and fungus thing was a big worry and one of the main reasons I stayed indoors.
Hope they take to their new home quickly, keep us up to date.

Hey guys update for you. After 8 weeks indoors roughly, its harvest day flushed for two weeks and fed with salts once a week and worm castings with liquid seaweed and molasses every other watering. I used insecticidal soap and neem oil in a spray up until week 4. I got the inevitable, spider mite! But managed to keep knocking them down with the spray and then with some defoliation and manual removal i managed to get them to harvest. I did buy 25 adult ladybugs on week 5 but they did not seem to last long. The neem maybe?
after a bud wash and trim they are looking and smelling great. Looking at two oz from the lemon skunk and three from the darkstar. Gassy smell all round the house
Thanks for your advice stay high guys.
p.s this is almost the whole lemon plant im out of hanging room (a good problem to have for a newish grower)
