Will the sun increase my yield from indoor flowering??

Lets say you vegg 600 watts till pre flower show, than you hit 12/12 for a month. After that let it finish out doors. Im wondering with this method can i get more bud moving it outdoor half of flwering? Im in socal and its flowering season anyway, or should i just finish it off indoor and get the most out of my 600 watts. I read the sun is like 10,000 watts per square feet so thats like way more power. Would it make a big difference in yeild?

You could do that and you should get a better yield. but introduce the plant to the outdoors slowly put it in the shade first then sun for a couple hours....just watch closely or you can sun burn your plant.

Didnt we already have this convesation multiple times? Like ive said, the sun beats the living shit out of an hps the way hps beats the shit out of cfls, so of course if you flower outside it would do better, and like i said before it would be better to just leave them outside the whole flowering stage. Best of luck my brother.

Mixing lights and the sun can cause stress (you and the plant) and lead to tears. You really need to decide if you are an indoor or outdoor grower and stick to it.

I have to respectfully disagree with the afore mentioned. I grow my plants now for 2 years moving them each day in a combination grow of lights and sun. I do this to grow year round outside and have them under lights a few hours each day. I do this mainly for the vegging end but have used a combo for part of the flowering due to adverse weather conditions. I agree that when in flower you should try and keep them outside for the days anyway just using the sun if it is at all possible. Remember to build up their suntime as they can burn easily only haven know the lights all their life. Try different methods until you find one that works for you. Happy Growing:joint::joint:
