If you cannot control the humidity, then I recommend researching genetics that favor loose buds, resistance to mildew, etc.

I recommend you put lots of work into your growing medium (soil). For outdoor, that's what it's all about my friend. Everything else is provided by mother nature. So I recommend a good super soil that all you have to do is water. Something like coast of Maine Stonington blend. Or any kind of live compost. That's the ticket my guy. Also I recommend you put up tent walls or plastic walls to prevent mildew. You're going to want to spray the sides with hydrogen peroxide and water once a week during the pollen season. Hope this helps

For all beginners - don't over water or over feed your plant. 99% of new growers do one of these two things. Check the recommended dosage on the nutrient label and start with half of that amount and build up. For you specifically - use your location to your advantage and grow outdoors. Your main enemies will be torrential rain and high humidity, especially during flower, so it's possible to bring them indoors at that point and use a grow light later on if needed - air con sucks all the humidity out the room which is helpful. If you're worried about privacy, just make a big fleece cloche to go around it, or hang shade netting around it. I used to live in Thailand (pre-legality) and the weather was perfect for growing in a bucket on your balcony so that it's protected from rain. I never had any issues with pests in my time, but keep an eye out for any critters that might take a liking to it. Mine used to attract praying mantis, but I tolerated them because they eat flies and such lol. Good luck and enjoy!
