I'm growing my first indoor AF which I received as a freebie (Northern Storm Auto). Happy with what I'm seeing after 5 weeks since germination. Now I'm intrigued with the idea of putting 3-4 of them outside to let them do their "auto" thing without messing with lights.
What I'm curious about is my desert climate.
1. If I germ in late March, the weather would be relatively mild but the daylight hours relatively short.
2. If I wait for longer days, I start getting into 100F (38C) daytime temps in mid-May. Nights are in the 70s (21-26C). In mid-June we regularly get 115F days (46C) and nights stay above 80F (27C).
How would this strain tolerate 90-100F heat of May? Is this even worth trying? Should I sacrifice daylight for cooler temps, or go for longer hours and higher temps near the end of the plant's life?
