I have some questions as to splitting time between outdoor and indoor LED to get my daily 18/6?
I'm Growing in the Northern Suburbs of Illinois outside of Chicago, (Bartlett, Streamwood, Hanover Park) area to nail it down Accu Weather Forecast wise. Maybe 2 or three days out of the week I'm getting consistent bright sunny days where i feel I'm getting some real benefit from lugging my plants up the stairs from the basement LED grow booth outside to get juiced up on real sun light.. It's only 3 plants so I feel its worth the effort if it's helping to increase size and yield potential. Is it worth it to haul them up to the outside on cloudy overcast pissy sunlight days? Is the only benefit from these overcast days an acclimation routine so they get the feel of being outdoor specimens? How much does it matter in veg phase as opposed to just exposing them to real sunlight in the flowering phase?
I'm doing this partial outdoor grow because past folklore -police raids on hidden fields around this area showed massive Christmas Tree like grows being chopped down by the cops in the fall..so I like the outdoor size potential of these plants grown in here in IL.
@ 4weeks, plan is to go at least 8 wks in Veg to get max potential out of outdoor sunlight.
On this corner of the house they get early full on bright sunlight for 8 hours then down
to the basement for 10 hours of LED.
" Marijuana plants are seen in Chicago where officers say they discovered two football fields worth of pot plants growing on the city's South Side. Authorities say about 1,500 cannabis plants were discovered during a routine patrol by a police helicopter. Officers spotted the crop under a canopy of trees about 3 miles from their own hangar. Some were as tall as Christmas Trees. Police said the growers could have earned as much as $10 million."
