thanks man! i didnt know if switching back & forth like that would hurt them cuz of the light intensidy from the sun to hps! and i didnt know if the sun would throw them back into the veg stage! light is 12/12 from 6am - 6pm! hps cuts on @ 6 i put them in the sun about 8-8:30 till 6 thats like 9 hours of sunlight! so i was worried about them going back into the veg stage! but thanks again man

cool deal! thanks
there's a catch to that free light and that's the problem of infecting your plants with spider mites and then bringing them into your grow room. Once you've got them there you'll never get rid of them.
Also you can't just stick indoor grown plants in full sun or you'll get UV burn. You have to harden them off gradually by putting them in shade during the hottest part of the day (10 Am - 3PM) till they're ready this takes some experience.
