outdoors in the northeast

[Dieselgrower]

So I was thinking of trying like 2 plants outside in some totes. no real good in ground spot away from poison ivy. couple first timer questions.. in this area, southern MA whats a good time to go outside? and would you start outside by seed or how big before bringing out? thanks

I'm just to the south of you. Last year I put out mine in early May. Just gotta make sure we're well past frost.

thanks, do you start inside?

North of you. I have found that by the time the natural light drops below 12/12, it is late in the season, getting cold and damp at night. This resulted in a non-stop battle with mold and bud rot. Some of the plants didn't finish due to this, then they were on their way to the big freezer. Some were so bad that I actually destroyed them with a weed burner (pun resulted). I am going to try autos this year outside, maybe several rounds. The rest will be indoors. For outdoors, having them in pots and being mobile is a big plus.

I'm here in Ct. I start mine inside. Get them out for good around the third week of May. I'm starting my photos this week. I'll start a few autos when these go outside.

Hey what’s going on everyone, first time grower, I’m a little south of boston. I was told 5 of my girls were autos (germed on may 18th) and there clearly not so I’m in it for the long haul. I water every other day and feed every other watering and keep my ph at 6.5. I’m using cutting edge solutions for nutes and Coast of Maine for soil

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a greenhouse? And any advice anyone whos successfully grown outdoors would be greatly appreciated

Here’s a little update. I think I got em just right. No droopy/wilted looking leaves and the yellowing of the lower leaves have stopped dying to to heat. Thank you for the help my friend
