    Outdoor Growing Experiment has been an unexpected Success - so far - but the heat?

    I planted 7 seedlings out in my vegetable garden, tucking them in between the tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. I was given these seeds and believe that they are from Mexican weed that was probably grown outside in big fields. I ended up with 5 males, 1 female, and 1 plant that failed to thrive so I pulled up all but the female. I started this plant June 26th and in July and August, we had over 30 days of temperatures that exceeded 100 degrees (up to 112 degrees). Then Harvey hit (a lot of wind and rain, no flooding) and destroyed a number of my tomatoes, peppers and cucumber plants, and laid my Mexican Lady on the ground. Surprisingly, I was able to prop her back up and she is continuing to thrive without loosing even one branch. She's been in flower for about a month and looks amazing. This was an experiment that I fully expected to fail but she is one tough Chica. She's about 4' tall and wide, and the colas are 18"-20" long.

    Question: On my indoor grows, I know it's important to control the heat but what about this outside plant? Will the heat that this plant has already experienced effect the quality of the buds? Today it is forecasted to be 95 degrees but we have a cold front coming in tonight that should drop the temps WAY down into the 80s. I had to put a pop up greenhouse over my Mexican beauty because I live in a residential area with neighbors on all sides and I get a little paranoid. If this plant isn't worth keeping because the heat has already destroyed all the good stuff then should I just pull her up? I just don't know what to expect?
    I like big buds and I can not lie.

    Hey Dagmar , if she's growing as good as you say just keep on growing her. It ain't legal where I live either,and she has already shown she's tough as hell, and a fighter ,let her finish you'll be glad you did, unless, but that's up to you. Got any pictures? ?

          Thanks, DAAS. My dog's name is Haas. I'm enjoying a previous grow and my brain makes weird connections...
