Aussie heat - too hot?

[n00blington]

Can our sunlight be too hot for young plants?

 

I just went out to prepare my guerrilla spot and it was bloody scorching, we're not even into summer yet.

 

Should I plant my girls in an area that's a bit sheltered? It seems like the constant harsh sun is going to wither them.

Just make sure your plants are hardened off to full sun and have a decent root ball before planting out. Other than that, water is essential. Cannabis can withstand extreme temperatures outdoors so long as they have an adequate supply of water.

I won't be able to harden them off well because I'm pretty much growing from seed outdoors in some tiny pots which I'll bury in the ground. At the moment they're sitting in a partially shaded area, but when I bury them they'll be getting 6+ hours of direct sunlight a day.

 

Sounds like I'll need to make a few trips with a nice big bottle of water...

heat will cause them to drink more water and expel more water out the leave. Keep it hydrated and it will be fine. Sativa will be more desired than indica as they are found close to the equator

Don't plant them in the pots unless the roots can get into the ground and keep going .

If they are in pots , keep them where they get a few hours of direct sunlight before you plant them in the ground where they get as much sunlight as you can give them.

 

It's a weed and they can handle what you can find as soon as they are Used to our sun , they will love it .

So harden them off then transplant into the ground and you will see them loving the sun

hi..

I have one to. Iv got a 4foot enclosure and i just checked the temps and the lamp end was 27 and the cool end was 21. My Stimmy has had 2 sheds since been in there and they have both been perfect so don't think it has been causing a problem for him. Was just curious because everyone says how bad they are...
