So I'd like to attempt a spring harvest. Here's the story: I do indoor in boxes, and just finished making a nice 55gal aquarium stand/growbox out of cherry wood a few weeks ago. I made 2 cherry end tables and 2 fish tank stands to furnish my 'spare bedroom' into a normal looking room with a bunch of weed hiding inside. During veg I found that I don't like the exhaust blower I used for the last box and decided to take it back to my shop and start over. But the plants are already growing and my other indoor spots are all occupied.
So I figured I'd continue as planned, except throw them in the ground instead of flower in the box. I live in USDA Zone 5, so the ground will not be safe until about 2nd week of April. I figure I'll probably be best to sync my lights to sunrise and start them to flower inside, then take them out once the frost is long gone. This is probably going to be a bit of a shock to the girls I would think.
Any input would be appreciated. I know people do this, but I don't know of anybody this far north who does. If the plants don't make it, or end up vegging out anyway, I really won't care. My indoor is perpetual either way. I just don't want to send 10 healthy plants down the garbage disposal.
