I'm looking into growing rqs og kush outside ...

Hey, I wanted to follow up on my last post to answer your question about temperature more directly. This is my third summer outdoors in the Mid-Atlantic. You can definitely grow here regardless of the temperature. I have noticed that heat above 90 degrees tends to slow growth. But plants will still grow, especially when you prevent other stresses such as: 1) Water - Water until the soil around your plant is saturated. If your plant is in a container the water should start to run out the bottom. Then wait until the soil on the surface is basically dry (check by sticking your finger into your first knuckle) and your leaves droop slightly, and water thoroughly again. In heat waves like we had last week you might be watering daily or sometimes more than once based on your container size, soil consistency, etc. 2) Provide necessary nutrients - If your plant has everything it needs with regard to nutrients, it reduces the workload to look for them. This is an article I really like despite it's focus on indoor plants: https://www.gardenmyths.com/best-fertilizer-indoor-plants-containers/ 3) Minimize insect/disease damage - Look at your plants at least once, if not more, daily. Use Google lens to lookup insects, molds, or other unfamiliar stuff on your plants. And grab some Neem Oil from Home Depot, it combats most insect and disease issues (try to avoid it's use during the plant's flowering phase when possible). 4) Start your outdoor grow in April - You can start a seed in Virginia in mid-April and be past the last frost date (especially outside the Appalachian range). Starting early lets your plant get big, strong, and resilient before it gets hot. Not to mention you'll get a way bigger yield. Keep your seedling indoors overnight and on days colder than 40 degrees, but by mid-May this should be unnecessary. If you still want to grow outdoors this year, go for it. I was warned not to start late my first year, but I had a blast and learned a ton. If you want a bigger yield this year, you could try to mess around with supplementing hours of light with a grow light. If you're able to hit DLI (regardless of source) you can still achieve solid results. Here's an article I like about this subject (and I do use their app, with a piece of printer paper over my camera to work as a diffuser, to measure light intensity): https://growlightmeter.com/lighting-requirements-of-cannabis-over-the-full-grow-cycle/ If you have more questions, definitely shoot me a message, I am more than happy to share my experience.
