So I'm getting ready to move from inside to outside and I have them running an 18/6 cycle....should I be starting to get them ready to change to more natural light cycle of the day (as in from dawn til dusk.....not a steady 18hrs of light) so they aren't shocked or just let them adjust when they're out there?

It’s going to be less stressful to the plant if it’s closer to the suns schedule when you move outside. Start adjusting the hours gradually till the day hours are close but be careful about going to low. If you trigger flower the plant will re-veg outside but the yield will drop. Remember to very slowly acclimate your plants to full sun. Even the SP250 is no match for full sunlight in June. Shade to morning sun to full sun, gradually over days. Time to release your grower instincts. You got this.

@monkeydo ya I'm thinking I'm gonna change the light cycle to 16hrs and that's it. I wont be going to anything close to 12 but I'm going to be putting them out in 5 days ish....was looking at the 18th of May to go outside...the temps are looking to be staying above 10 degrees at night so I think we would be clear to stay out side after then. Or should I wait until a bit later?
