Hello,
Here are my plants at different stages. I started them in pea pots to flo tubes to finally outside. Problems occured in 2 of the different strains.:mad: So im left with 3 outside. (snowryder,blueberry, and mystery plant sour kush)
Its hot here 95-105 F in summer. There are in full sun 9 to 10 hrs a day. Any info or advise will be very greatful:jointsmile:

I'm doing a similar grow except i have plants that are all in veg and are not autoflowering. I have 6 plants that are each atleast 2 ft tall and the largest one is about 4 ft tall. strains are 'blue hash', 'the church' and 'pure power plant' the pure power plant is the tallest and the churches are short and bushy. I just got a few clones of purple erkle, green crack and og kush.

Im growing in a particularly hot area as well and I have heard that after temps reach 85+ degrees little or no new growth will happen. Does any one know if this is accurate? I have the clones under a protective net for now and they seem to be doing fine. I wonder if the topic starter and I should protect our plants from the heat with the same type of garden netting?

How fast should our plants be growing in hot outdoor conditions with an average of 8 hours of direct sunlight a day and in my case a general feeding of foxfarms grow big every other day? Im kinda worried because it seems like they havent grown much after there first spurt.

thanks.

The only advice I can give as a new grower myself is to make sure to keep control of the insects because if it gets out of hand it can kill your crop and is insanely difficult to get back under control..

well i can tell you that this is my first autoflower grow outdoors. Now i do have a sour kush that is feminized that is NOT an auto, which did not have enough veg time before i put it outdoors. It has not grown much with very little top growth. i will post pics as soon as they let me. i do have some pics in my album of the snow ryder and blueberry which have begun to flower:rastasmoke:. snowryder is doing far better with plenty of buds. I use a roots organic 707 soil mixed with 25% perlite. Which for me in the hot temps hold the water in for 3 days. Plenty of people on these post's grow in desert's with 105+F so i know it can be done. Insects are horrible here. I have put 5 different sticky insect traps around and have sprayed with an AZATROL for insects and seem to be doing much better. I dont have any info on spraying my plants with azatrol while they are flowering? (Like when to stop spraying before harvest) So any info will be greatful. Also i have started a new set of auto's which are getting a different light schedule indoors 20 on 4 off. First set were 18/6. Also everything got ferted with yesterday with earth juice bloom right before the rain. Everything looks great today.:hippy:
