You can use any light you want even a small cfl will keep them all in veg . I used one single cfl to keep 20 big plants in veg. And get a timer
How to avoid flower too early outdoors? Need help from the experienced.

Haha. At the present, these girls are still indoors. I wanna put them outdoors because the electricity fees and the consequent budget for more LEDs.
I think I'm racking my brains about this problem. Put them out will need extra light, it's really a hard nut to crack

You from 24 to 10 hours a day and they don't flower? That doesn't sound right

go ahead and put them out now and let them flower. If you can cover them for a few weeks at the end you'll get a nice early crop...
I am grateful to you for being a person so kind. I must figure it out.

That's cause it's the first introduction of dark, and the dark period gets shorter not longer.

Hmm I've had the opposite experience with clones... I've gone from 24 to 14 hours and still had them stay in flower

Could just have to do with certain strains tho
That's the worst result. I would never be willing to see situations like that.......Don't scare me

well if you put them out now without adding extra light, they will flower because the days are short...

Not only a timer, also a battery, or two battery, cause you need to rotate them. If you don't do this, you will need an extra solar panel. They are all budget. T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T

I don't think your understanding what I do. I drop the light cycle far below that of outside and gradually raise it to however many hours like atm im getting 12hrs 48mins, so i would drop cycle to 10 and wait about 5-10 days then next day add 20mins and the next day add 20 mins ect. Would take 13-18 days to get light to 12 hrs and 40mins then next day they go outside.
Don't worry, I'm sure that I will take your advice and the weather outside is still a little cold. Not more than 15°C.
