I live in cajun country where its 90+ degrees and 90+ humididty. I PLAN to have 5 plants in pots. I want to put them outside in the morning until 11:00am or until temps pass 85F. Then bring them inside during peak temperature hours. When and/or if the temp drops before the sun does Ill putt them back out. This combined will give me 20/4. Is this method OK and what problems may I incur if any? Thanks for any feedback ---

What do you plan to light them with indoors? Other than bringing bugs in, I don’t see any other problems as long as you have decent light ---

You’ll get a lot more light outside, I would leave them out as much as possible. ---

Even if it’s in the shade you’ll get more light. ---
