Light Stress Strategy (moving indoors to outdoors)

Outdoor Growing
1

Currently on an 18/6 with my chosen clones I plan on running outdoors (possible greenhouse on the way) fingers crossed.

All showed great cold tolerance and up here to the seasons can turn in an instant.

Question for those who have started clones indoors with the intentions of moving them outside. I’m a shooting for the 15 hours of daylight as planting day.

In your experience have you run into issues going from 18/6 under leds to 15 hours full sun and or greenhouse?

If so what issues did you experience?

Did plants begin to flower and require reveg?

This would be my main concern, is there a benefit to say one a weekly basis drop the light schedule down an hour of light on the leds til 15/9 light schedule?

Love to hear feedback on this one, as always good luck keep growing!

I run a mars hydro 400 watt led at 75% and at a 18/6 schedule also. Never have had a problem with transferring outdoors after June 10 after being indoors under the light. Never hardening them off either. Bigger clones to smaller clones, bigger plants to smaller plants didn’t matter. I’m in New England. Good luck and happy growing
