Outdoor Grow, Indoor Bloom ; Advice?

So I'm vegging a few plants outback (several skywalkers, 1 master) and I want to know what are the adverse side effects of bringing them indoors to bloom, if any (stress/hermies)? The plants are doing amazing with no signs of pests, disease, nut burn, deficiency, etc. They're about a month old and have 6 shoots and stand about 8 inches tall. The seeds were all feminized so I'm highly concerned with the HERMIE issue, anything else I'm sure I could deal with. If anyone has had any dealings with this type of grow plz give me the 411.

If there in a container,go head and put them in 12/12.Your not gonna get alot of bud,from a plant that small.

Right, I'm not gonna bud them anytime soon... I live in so cal so they wont be forced into bloom 4 another 2 months. I just want to know if the plants will endure any type of stresses from being moved outdoors (high lumens) to indoors where the lumens of the lights are a lot less but more consistent

well, yea, if you don't give it enough light it will not grow as much. indoor grow quality and quantity directly related to the amount of light used.

I have 7 1000watt HPSs at my disposal so lighting is not an issue. I'm just concerned with the fact that changing the environment will cause undue stresses on the plants and cause them to hermaphrodite; I don't need any bi-gender'd plants for what I'm trying to obtain. If anyone has completed such a grow please chim in.

Lsvtecna, sorry to piggyback your post, but I was wondering the same thing. I've got mine in a greenhouse with lots of sunlight. Still got a bit more vegging, but when it's time to flower, will moving them cause shock, or stunt the plants growth?

ANYONE WITH A DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO THIS AGE OLD QUESTION?

I guess time will tell for me and Dubious when we go to flower.. I'm not concerned with the stunting of the growth because I will only be growing them outdoors, flowing them indoors. I heard the plants can stretch during the first few weeks of flowering, but a stretch is not what I'm in for. I'd rather have short stout cluster-fucked plants than a 6' monster that doesn't yeild quality product due to light inconsistencies (ie the bottoms lacking potency). But truely, NO SEEEEEEEDZ is my goal.

As long as you have decent lighting you should be fine. Sounds like you want to run a SOG. Flower a bunch of small plants, and pull a bunch of nice colas off of them. Not a lot of yield per plant, but well worth it if you flower enough plants.

I agree, some bushy little bastards would be preferable to a 6 footer. I'm still experimenting with LST, and topping but hope this is a successful round. Cheers!
