Outdoor Hot Nevada days.

[Mrens]

I have an outdoor grow going and was hoping for some information to make sure I am doing things right.
Right now I have about 18 AK-47 plants outside, 9 of them planted 4/6 (Bottom row) and 9 on 5/8 (top), the ones on the bottom were planted a month and a half ago, they only got moved out of a small seedling pot until they were a month old, so they are a bit stumpy. The top ones include a few males that need to be pruned.

For nutrients I’m giving the about a half of the recommended solution of Flora Nova in water, then half a gallon per day. The reason is it’s freaking hot here, were just ending our 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] 100 degree day in a row, it got up to 105, so I’m trying to give them as much water as possible to that end I’ve even skipped the nutrients completely and turned my hose on them and making sure their stays nice and damp.

Would it be of some benefit to move so they get some shade around mid afternoon when it gets really hot?

Not sure if you know that the 2nd from front on top shelf is a boy and almost ready to spill pollen.
If you intend to make some AK47 seeds, save the yellow pollen in an envelope or small container somewhere cool with low light for a few weeks. Then sprinkle pollen all over one girl to make seeds for later grows.

Extra hot days for auto's when young are not ideal. If your coco gets very warm by direct hot sun, then roots will be shocked and stunt the growth. Any seeds you make will good regardless if the plant is stunted or not.

Are they Autos?
What is the medium they are in?
Is there any breeze on a regular basis?
What size are the pots?

One thing you can do immediately is to wrap those pots with a white fabric. The black only makes them hotter and the white will make
them cooler.

They are auto's, AK47.
They're in 3/4 Ocean Forest, and 1/4 Pearlite
The wind here is constant and atrocious.
3 Gallon AirPots.

My new plan is to just leave that Male out there to pollinate the rest, might as well get some seeds out of them.
