Thread: Outdoors to indoors?

My first plant is looking a little droopy, I bought her from a mate who had her on the patio which is a real suntrap.

My garden gets sun in the afternoon, but is quite shady in the mornings and Im concerned that shes not getting enough sunlight. (she gets bought into a lightless cupboard at night)

What Im wondering is that are outside grown plants ok to bring indoors if I set up a UV light, fan etc?

Im thinking that she may be a bit stressed due to being moved then re-potted . The person I got her from suggested putting her in a growbag, but I think that might stress her more by moving her yet again?

I read that I shouldnt feed her for about a week after re-potting anyway? Shes in a mixture of compost and garden soil from my veggie patch that was very well fertilized 2 winters ago with a farmyard compost, and my veggies were amazing last year

Any help greatly appreciated

you can bring them indoors but you may bring in pest or bugs with it but if you have no other plants growing indoors dont really see it being a problem.
dont use a uv light to grow, high intensity discharge lights like metal halide and high pressure soduim is what is generally used, flourecents can be used also but do not work very well for flowering.
it probably is just stress from being repotted and moved your plant will probably start looking normal in about a week.
why are you moving it inside at night to begin with?

Because I felt sorry for her lol

I might just leave her outside then and see what happens...

Thanks for the reply

Make sure that she did not start to flower already. I don't know where you live but it might be a bit to early for the plant to go out due to not enough day light. The plants can still flower at 13-14 hours of light which is what we have now.

If it did start and it's early enough you can prolly still revert it, but pay attention later on when you flower her, she can go hermie on you because of the stress and confussion. I don't want to scare you, just simply want to let you know that there is that little possibility that his can happen, cuz it did happen to me.
