Outdoor veg, indoor flower - does anyone else do it?

[Landracey]

I was just wondering if any outdoor growers do balcony or outdoor container grows in veg, and then coming indoors for flower. Not in greenhouse, indoors under lights.

It can be very good for controlling the problems that arise in solely outdoor, or greenhouse grows, and provides many of the natural benefits that I think are lost through growing indoors only.

Anyway, the results can be quite good...

Of course you run the risk of bringing in mites and thrips without a natural predator as well as PM and molds. Plus looks like you'd have height issues if trying to transition to a tent.

They do get some good light spectrum outdoors, though.

Beautiful plant!

Yes, I've brought in thrips even though I doused three times in neem in the last week or so of veg. They came back in week 5 and i have resorted to wiping the individual leaves and picking off the adults that are approaching the buds. Unfortunately some have made it. But maybe the resin and forest of trichs will keep them from doing much damage, and I don't mind smoking some desiccated bug on bud at a microscopic level.

But I don't have the spider mites I had last year, nor the PM. So, that''s an improvement Keeping RH at 40-50% and keeping room temperature at around 25-27 degrees C helps. No tent also means better circulation, and more oxygen availability, so less need to open windows, which is important in a cold and wet environment like autumn in N.Europe.
