Outdoor to indoor?

With having a good, clean, providing grow room inside, would it be better to brings plants inside from outside when there about 3 weeks into flower to finish bud?
Or would it just be best to finish them out side?

some factors that would help answer your question though, what kind of lighting inside? what latitude are you at outside? what strains are being grown?

the most power i have inside is a little 400 watt hps, the only reason i bring anything inside right now is because it has gotten too large for prying eyes outside, so i bring those in and force them to flower

what happened here is that i brought in lots of pests to my somewhat clean indoor area, i am finally over the battle with the mites now, but it jacked my yield up on many plants, if i could have let them grow larger i would've let them stay outside and the outdoor good insects would've destroyed the small bit of mites, when i brought them inside there were no predators so the mites had it all to themselves!

a cinnamon haze i brought in came with an ant nest in it's planter too, so i have an ant nest inside now, haha, that could be a problem!

the plants that did not get too big, are doing so much better outside right now! the buds are so much thicker and fatter and fuller! inside is okay, but man outside some of these are getting so fat!

so, unless you have ample strong lighting inside, it may be best to just let them finish up outdoors so you come up on a good yield for all of your hard work

It would be a haze diesel and a bubba plant that are on a high deck away from the ground and they seem to be doin a lot better then indoor but i wasnt sure if they would have enough time outside with out getting to cold, and they would be going into an 8x8 with 4 digital 600s air conditioned and dehumidified but here what you guys had to say about the pest makes me not even want to attempt it haha, i dont wanna ruin 2 crops one stone. so now im thinkin leavin them is best bet, im just not sure when the weather will drrop over in the seattle area

hey tannerism, as far as the mites go. you could bring them in and spray them down with mighty wash a time or 2 in advance, spray 'em down with water the following day, then spray 'em with might wash again, water again a day or 2 after...the mighty wash stuff is what got me sorted out, wish i had discovered it before i had the issues with the mites, a little prevention would've saved me a lot of bud in the compost heap!

If the only thing in your room is the plants from outside, then maybe give it a try. Be ready to bomb it when you're done. If you add outside plants to an indoor grow then the pests could run wild. Brought three plants into an indoor grow once, along with dozens of thrips. Wasn't good. :noway:

well i got scared cuz the weather got really shitty for awhile so i moved them in but i think i got lucky with the cold and the rain hitting them taken down the majority of them and i super aza max them when they were outside right before i brought them in and i havnt seen anything on them since so i think for once i got lucky haha ill post pics when i can, now im just worried that they might not like it as much inside as out cuz they seemed to of really liked the outdoors
