Took one of the girls outside for some real sun.

Really wanted to compare pics vs the LED lighting but she sure looks more frosty outside.

Triple Sec seed from a dispensary 1/8th. Likely from 707 Seed Bank. The buds do smell very much like Triple Sec too. Managed to get a clone before i went 12/12. I aint paying no $40 for regular beans LOL

Lemon Tree x Kush Cleaner at day 33 or 34 of 12/12

I have a cement pad at the back door and put the plants out every day and bring them in at night. With regular seeds it gives me the chance to control hours of light but use the sun for the flower part of the grow. At the start of the year the plants need hardening off to put up with the sun and by the end of the year they yellow on rainy days when they don't get put out. Not being out in the rain helps control PM and mold too.

I used to take 3 outside each day during veg. This is the first time any indoor plants have gone out since flowering. Tomorrow the RKO will get a day of real sun. I do have one RKO and one 98 Aloha White Widow i keep outside. They are both close to 5ish feet tall and go back in the greenhouse at night and if it rains. Far too hot for them inside the greenhouse until the sun starts setting.

Take them out for an hour or 2 then take them back in for a couple days (hardening them off). If you have shade it's a gentle way to start them, sort of like they get a tan instead of a burn at the start of the summer. On really hot, bright days shade will also help them not get too much sun. And keep an eye on water. It really disappears with high heat.

Good luck with your grow.

I understand, been doing that for ages growing peppers. Im usually growing 40+ peppers all over the yard and patio. This year weed became legal for rec. So i keep 2 outside until the grow tent has room or until they flower on their own outside. Whichever happens first. I just bought a spare 2x4x6ft tent for later just in case too. :D

Today is under 90F luckily. Been near 100F or above for several days until the rain came lastnite. The plant has not been outside for a month but it has been under about 200+ watts of LED in the 2x4x6 tent. She may not be used to the real sun as much as before but the tent runs in the mid 80s. She went outside each day while vegging and back inside to finish the 16hrs.
