Just to spur discussion, and full discloser...not a first grow, but first large grow. Done 2-3 indoor photo/auto, and some random bags seeds last summer to get a feel for it. Grew up around farm/veg gardening so I have a pretty decent background.

How do you all think these will perform outdoors? Temps up to 93 this week, will peak around 100 next mo. Currently RH is 57% and will fluctuate upwardly as summer progresses.

Since I'm in smallish pots, watering will be a PIA but I close to hose so meh...just have to let lots or h20 air out daily I'm sure. I also plan on insulating outside row of pots with some white material I have lying around.

Also I'm at 38* Lat

It seems that breeze and unlimited fresh air exchange are the great equalizers as it pertains to temps.

I would buy a shade cloth to keep them from getting burnt up. I bought a 10x20 shade cloth with 30% blockage for $35 on Amazon. It drops the thermometer located at the base of my plants by 10° F. If I were you I would look for a 40-50% shade.

For duration of grow or just while young?

Def when young. And at least while the temps are above 85 degrees. But you do give up some of the light intensity. This is one of many reasons I went to using a homemade green house. Now I can control air temps automatic/ thermostatically controlled fan and intake, while not having to give up any light... best thing for you is to pick a spot that is partly shady all day long or at lest a spot the gets full shade from 1-4 ish or when ever is the hottest hours of your location. Just try and keep your girls "comfortable and happy but able to still get a good tan in the sun. Just not burnt!"

Hey! I got some of that cheap ass soil too ....LOL! And if you doctor it with some good stuff it works fairly well. Just most of that crap has time release nutes in it and can burn your young plants, so I mixed what I had left 50/50 with some organic potting soil. Nice grow you've got there! :Sharing One:
