Well I'm growing some Autos outside, only difference is I live in the U.K. we never get them sort off temps over here, when we did have a nice weeks weather, it done my plant the world of good but soil dried up really quick. After reading some posts on here, turns out it might be because I used a terracotta pot, ( as I read it, it just gets to warm and dries it up too quick).
Good luck if you do give it a try.:thumbs:
