Growing during summer in the south?!

[madeline]

If you have a heavy acid rain it might. Last year during one of the Cali forest fires we got a rainstorm and I happened to check the run-off for the hell of it and found it to be barely 3.0! I noticed no harm to my plants from it but am sure if they got a daily dose of such off-balanced PH I would have had some probs! But for outdoor grows I usually don't fix the PH and use it straight from the faucet/sprinkler as it doesn't seem to affect them like it does in an indoor setting...but maybe the ocassional acid rain balances it out?

Been growing outside in the SE US for several years. Summer high temps do NOT negatively affect our grows. High 90s every single day is the common mid-summer temps here. Some 100s are not uncommon.

we haven't had that problem (SW tennessee)

we just start the plants inside, wait for them to show sex and only transplant the females.

in fact our green is said to do better than that grown farther north, because we're closer to the equator and get more direct sunlight
