Hey fellow desert dwellers! @TheCrozh @elheffe702 @AZIrish @Tinymight_Autoflowerer
Stumbled upon your conversation and have been considering going from early season indoor to outdoor autos as well. And I’m close to first harvest. Tagging along!

How have the Temps been in your grow area? Humidity?

I know down south of you, we have still been in the 40s every night. And definitely too soon for nutes if you are using a nutrient rich soil

Your media is too moist , no nutrients until the little round leaf’s die…
Too much too fast …
Your causing the issues that your having…
Its called squeezing the bunny…
Your loving them to death…
That soil doesn’t look the best either…
I’m in AZ also and can give you some guidance as to where to go from here…
Welcome to ilgm my friend…
I’m pushing for an outside grow this year as well…
I gave my daughter a bunch of zombie x girl scout cookies seeds and they are going crazy…
They are in her flower bed with veggies and I’m pretty sure that she will have a mess going before too long…
She planted them in rows like corn…
She’s never grown anything before…
They are loving the un-attention that she gives…

But at some point you realize that it’s all worth it…

Our temps have gone up and down the last couple of weeks. High of 82 on some days, then 59 on others. I move the plants inside and outside and in and out of the sun/shade. I don’t monitor humidity – it is what it is in Arizona. Once the plants go outside for good I will try setting the pots on trays of rocks, and filling the trays with water to add humidity. I read that someplace.
how did you get close to harvest so soon outdoors? I started planting indoors on February 1, about seven weeks ago. My first plants are still dinky – two inches tall and foliage no bigger than a golf ball. I thought they would be bigger by now and more sun tolerant.
@TheCrozh I didnt start outdoors, nor have they been outside. I was also interested in how to pull it off. I’ve grown outside here but every time I do, we have a brutal summer and they don’t make it. I like the idea of starting autos early like you did then putting them out for some real sun at the end. But its almost snowing down here again and don’t think it’ll be this season
I started about 4 weeks before you indoors. I did 3 ww photos, 3 gscx autos. The ww is getting close for sure. The gsc im not sure. Never grew an auto plant before. We shall see!
