45*N - read entire thread and dozens of sites and calls to local grow shops. want indoor to outdoors continue vegetative cycle. why doesn't anyone mention 15.15 hours on indoor T5 from the day planting the seeds and my put out date is june 1 which my light chart shows 15.26 hours of light that day. all the shops and 95% of forums say 18/6, some shops say 20/4. then i mention about the flowering because of light drop and they dodge the question or answer something else. if going 18/6 or 20/4 i've read about the the mandatory light reduction before moving outdoors but still could have problems... so why not just do 15.15 on from day one? one shop told me if you only do 12 on it will make the plants flower very quickly.
how tall indoor would my plants get in 10 weeks? we have a freeze may 30 last year so very risky to move outdoor sooner. a bunch of "pros" on forums said moving out in may actually causes flowering and they found june will keep the vegetative cycle going.
start indoors, move outdoors, seeds (regular, feminized, (if there's a way would like to try autoflower indoors move out too but i know this a bit trouble to get a larger plant). have no space to flower indoors, set up is in the living room, smell would be to strong too. have 8'x5' south side windows too for plants.
thank you for any tips or direction!
