Moving outside

I currently have a plant that germinated 3 weeks ago tomorrow. This is my first ever time growing weed and since germination, it has been under 2 60w 6500k cfl's. I cannot continue growing inside as I'm not allowed and shouldn't be anyways. Does this plant look healthy and do you think I could move it outside without any harm? I've been hardening it off for the last week. Also, when's the fastest I'd be able to switch it to flowering if I did leave it indoors. Thanks

yes thats fine. They are good enough to go outside. I grow mine outside all the time. They might sag a little bit the first day because of how strong the sun is compared to those lights you were using. I always use SUPER THRIVE and my plant never gets any form of stress. That plant is gonna shoot up fast. They will also need to be watered more often since they will be outside just dont over do it and watch out with the nuts, dont over use them and watch out for burns, other than that good growing to you

Alright thanks man, I haven't used any nutes yet as I don't have them. My weather for the rest of this week is thunder and lightning so I guess I'll leave them inside until next week. I do however have this but I'm not sure if I should use it.

I would not use that because of the levels of nut. it has. It a 20-30-20 which means 20%Nitrogen, 30% phosphorus and 20% Potash. When plants are in vegetation cycle they intend to use more Nitrogen. So find something greater in Nitrogen when veg and you want more Phosphorus when in flowering. That plant food you have is okay to use during flowering but i would not use it during veg. I would not even use the ones you have but i do understand money issues when it comes to putting it into a flower. Just remember the better food you use the better the product. But it will work if your just wanting to have something to smoke

It's probably not getting taller because the pot is limiting new growth, generally the bigger the pot/more soil to grow in, the bigger rootballs - bigger plants. I noticed with my first few plants they stopped growing pretty fast once the plant's roots ran out of room, not sure how big that pot is you have atm, or how deep soil is.

Thanks for the info germany, I'll go take a look tomorrow for some proper nutes. Everybody talks about foxfarm being great but since I'm in Canada there isn't any of that. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Thanks!

Instead of getting a larger pot, i'm going to plant it outside soon, I plan on digging a hole, putting a garbage bag with some holes in it, into the hole. Then filling with soil and planting. Should this be fine? And do you think that it is 100% an indica?

Why the trash bag? I would just dig a hole a few feet deep and a few feet around and then add your good soil bro...be careful with the sun since the plants have never seen it before. Try to transition them slowly only a few hours of direct sunlight at first then slowly work them into more and more sunlight. Good luck bro...

Thanks man, I've taken the plants outside for a couple hours for the last week. Also about the garbage bag, watch this at about 7:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4msTQxPnn4
