What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

95degree weather will slowly burn the terps meaning the flavor will get burnt away growth will be slowed and u may or may not get heat stress but it can be done iv been growing in 100degreeish weather but I'm still in veg. Also sativas can handle more heat than idicas. But u can get nute tox because the hoter the weather the more the plants drink as well so just monitor them and they should be ok as long as u got lots of air movement and lower ur nutes

I live in a very unusual California summer climate that has cold nights(~50°-60°) and hot (~90°-105°) days. The plants (Aurora Indica Feminized) are in the very early vegetative stage and apparently LOVE the warmer days and do not show any signs of wilting or stress if it's below ~95°, but the flowering stage I imagined would be more temperature-fragile, especially if the fragile flowers must be left substantially longer to fully develop CBD. The really hot temperatures only hit for a few hours in the afternoon, so I imagine I can drag them in the house (as I do at night to keep them warm) for a couple of hours. I also mist the plants, which I don't know if I should do when they are in the flowering state.

Smoke flavor is no issue for me here as I'm just going to use these for medical-use teas at bedtime to hopefully control chronic pain and insomnia. Incredibly, I've never even smoked marijuana, ever.

California has gone pretty crazy with plans for huge (taxable) commercial farms, and the "experts" have decided that the climate where I live is not suitable for commercial growing, but I am hoping it is at least suitable for a small personal crop. So far, it's been HUGELY easier to grow than heirloom tomatoes!

How will hot (~95°) weather affect the flowering stage of an outdoor grow?

[Marley]

I start all mine from day 1 in 100% ocean forest with no issues.

[Newf]

I'm experimenting two are in Ocean Forrest and two in Happy Frog

Randy2310 here are some pics of 2 of my young plants (just after the first stage of manifolding) under the T5 light (it is not hot to the touch). I will be moving these plants under a 600w HPS in a month when my flowering room is available.

Newf, what soil are they in now? My plant is still in the potting soil with the pinch of ocean forest. When I transfer to my space bucket they will be in 100% ocean forest. I didn't want to move them to the higher nutrient soil too soon.

This is the current growth. Are they ready for the bucket with full nutrient soil with full lights?

[haizenbourg]

its not connecting to spider i think.maybe wrong.but i think its from seedling self. stretch it from the crust

[Marley]

could be spider mites. yes that matters.

@Newf
thank you very much for info.
i will do this way.and i put my knuckle finger in soil.to know when she needs water.
now again.question.
i saw some web like a spiders web.around the seedling.top of that.what this.and is this matter?

It is very easy to overwater a young plant. Usually water when you first put the seed in the soil or whatever medium you are using. Make sure if using soil that it has good drainage (adding perlite, coco coir, etc) and definitely make sure there is good drainage from the bottom of the plastic cups that doesn't get clogged with soil. The good thing about plastic cups is that they are easy to pick up and fell the weight. It becomes easy to tell when they are light and dry and need more water. Seedlings do well in a humid environment and the frequency you need to water depends on temp and humidity so there is no exact schedule we can give, you will have to judge yourself but it is more common to overwater than to underwater. Little plants do not draw up very much water from the soil and soil in a plastic cup can stay moist for days and days.

[haizenbourg]

hello there.i wish you have great day.
i did plant my seed.by soaking overnight.then plant in plastic cup.so my question is .do they need watering and if they do.how often and how much
for a baby plant???

[Randy2310]

Thank you everyone for the input.

Zativa - I was watering daily but only enough to keep it damp. little to no run off. I let it dry (skipped yesterday) and watered again today. enough to dampen the sides of the jiffy pot but no run off out the bottom. The amount of nutrient soil (ocean forest compared to the organic potting mix shown) is a minimal sprinkle on top done 3 days ago where it's been in the potting mix for 2 weeks.

Newf & Jeg - That single bulb is a bit high up now. Maybe your suggestion about light means it is time for the space bucket so that all 4 bulbs are in effect OR lower that single bulb for now. Right now using a single 100w equivalent (23w) daylight cfl just using a metal hood/clamp. There's a small fan off to the side some distance blowing a breeze towards the plant.

I can't seem to add pictures into my additional comments. I'll have to add them to the original post

[Jeg]

Did you get the answers you were looking for? I use cfl only. I'm not an expert but I know a good bit about them from my limited experience. At some point you have had your light very far away from your plant it would seem. Hard to get lightburn with cfl not impossible but you can almost touch your plant with the bulbs. That didn't read right. You can get cfl bulbs within one to two inches and still be ok.

[Newf]

Randy that stem stretch and the light colored leaves could also be not enough light. It is almost impossible to get light burn from CFL's. (I actually have my young plant leaves touching my T5). Obviously if the cfl bulb is hot to the touch you don't want your leaves to touch but it can be an inch or two away without any problem. With CFL's the more the better. What watts are your bulbs?
