So, I've grown about 90-100 plants indoors and am getting pretty comfortable with growing indoors. This year is my first outdoor grow. I have already screwed this grow up as I started the seedlings under my usual 18/6 lights with plans to move them outdoors sometime in late April. I live in Grow Zone 6b. My peak sunlight occurs around June 18 giving about 14.75 hours of sunlight.
Clearly, I set myself up for a bit of failure but I appreciate how these plants teach, and humble, you. My thought is that I could decrease my lighting schedule by about 15 minutes every 3-4 days until I get to about 14 hours and then put them out around 4/15-5/1.
Please feel free to offer any constructive advice you may have... especially if it comes from experience. Although I very much do not want to, I could give these plants away (and use some of them in my indoor garden) and just start over maybe in March under more appropriate lighting. I just really wanted to get a solid jump and then pot them in 100 gallon pots. Anyway, thoughts?
