If i were to sprout a couple seeds under fluoros indoor on an 18 hour cycle for 2 weeks then move them outdoors to 13 hours of daylight, will they flower? or is this a safe move seeing as how the sun will be MUCH brighter than the 800 lumens used for seedlings anyway. I've got about 13 hours a day right now where im from and as summer comes closer it will increase to 16 hours from sunrise till sunset. Anyone help me on this?

k i think i know where you were trying to go with that but as long as your on 18 or 24 hours of light you plants will stay in vegative stage, if your hours of light are at 12 hours it will force your plants into flowering stage, you want to put yours on 18 or 24 because you want them to be in vegative stage so you can keep them growing strong untill they are outside and then in the fall they will flower when the days start getting shorter.:hump:

i doubt that they would even start flowering let alone finish.. your gonna have to plant them and wait till fall... but atleast by then they will be monsters!

i read somewhere when transplanting your babies outside after they have been growing inside to transplant them 2 hours before the sun goes down.
 
they shouldn't flower unless they are an autoflower strain. But don't put them directly in the sun --- you stunt the hell out of them or kill them. put them in the shade until they harden off. give 'em about a week. You will see new growth of a slightly different color and the plant will look healthier. Then it's ready for the sun.

This is a little off topic but I'm honored that you just replied to my post, I watched your prohibition videos and was trying to send you a message through youtube but i couldn't figure the shit out. Episode 10 almost made me cry with joy haha, you inspired me to start some guerilla shit which is why I'm postin this. I was wonderin what happened with that collector, it feels like you left me hangin'!? but the music and everything was perfect I love watchin your vids man. anyway, I'm in BC too, around the same area as you I'd say, so the weather is the same. i was thinkin of plantin some early wonder skunks as well, would they immediately flower after i transplanted outside or would they grow more before flowering? I know they can flower in the heat of summer but I don't want some 6 inch little girls startin to flower as soon as I stick em in the ground, and I can't keep them under fluoros for more than 2 weeks cause I only have enough light to sprout the babies. I want to start them under the fluoro about april 1-5 and then move them out mid-late april. How will this affect early wonder skunks (with the ruderalis trait(autoflower)) and some normal flowering outdoor seeds?
