Transferring outdoor blooms to indoor

Hey, I live in the north east near Montreal and am growing medically. I have 4 Jack Herrers that I started outside in the spring. They vegged all summer outside in 2 gallon buckets. They are all more than 4 feet tall and in their 5th week of flowering. Everything looking great, buds, fert levels, strong stems... I am however running into 1 large problem. Its turning out to be an early summer and Im getting frost warnings for tonight. This is my 3rd year and I know to get my babies away from the frost. Im bringing them inside for the night. Had amazing sun all day today.

Im buying a 400 to 600 watt HPS lamp to finish the budding process indoors to make sure I get my 65 to 75 days. Im also buying a tent to finish them in, seeing as my house is very old and carpeted. Want to leave mold, mildew and other creepy crawlies out of this. Im thinking of a 2m x2m x2m tent. Yes my plants are very tall and yes 2m is a lot but My license is for a great many more plants so I will utilize this size in the future.

But for now, lets see about the things im going to need for just another 4 weeks of flowering.

Can I get any pointers? Maybe a list of the equipment. Im a outdoor grower being forced inside by nature, need a hand. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you are rolling with a tent and will be bringing them inside, you don't need a whole lot of equipment. Thoroughly inspect the plants for bugs before bringing them inside, clean the pots, grab some ventilation for your tent. You have a passive intake, and you are medical so smell isn't an issue I don't think, so all you really need is some ducting, a hood, the light, the in-line fan, and some outlets. That is it.

Ok thanks for the quick response!

I will clean them, the pots, and everything, the most they have are spiders around here. Its been getting quite cold. The room the tent will be in, which is already clean, is on average 12 to 14 Celsius degrees all winter. Its an old house and heating costs an arm and a leg. I will never had over heating issues, at least until next summer.

Im feeling Ill be lucky. Smell isnt an issue, if it becomes one I will be able to add a carbon filter no prob. I can afford the tent. By ducting you mean that silver "dryer" material connected to dryers? I assume thats for cooling my lamp. Which I will be venting into the cold room itself. Im even done my fert process, just need my 3 to 4 weeks of flushing.

Another question is will I need a cooling tube for my light? Or should I get a regular one, Still learning as fast I as I can here, wasnt planning on having to do this.

my Goal: To have them under lights by tomorrow evening or the next day latest. Anything adjustments will be made after they are under lights.

PS; what do u mean by passive intake?

going shopping tomorrow morning! any last minute advice would be feasted upon like a lagoon monster.

One last question I have is if im doing 3 to 4 weeks to finish the flowering, do I even need the tent? Or can i put the light above them and just put some white panels up around them?
