If I planted a seed right now, would it have time to grow enough? It would just go right into flower?

You might get something decent! Only one way to find out! Not doing much good sitting in a drawer! But it is getting kind of late.

i wouldnt consider myself an OG in growing context. The OG's were already oldheads when i came to the party. Im not even an OG for this forum. I have definitely grown a lot of cannabis plants though.


Btw, if your pots are black and their surface see's direct sun, paint them white. Trust me on that. Root zone temp and moisture retention will improve dramatically over night. Any way you can limit the amount of dark surface area of a container exposed to direct sun in this heat will help you tremendously. If theyre are fabric pots, still paint them white, they'll still breathe better then a plastic pot. If you run two identical clones in weather like this, one in a black pot, one white, the difference in growth rates will be pretty dramatic. Black plastic or fabric in heat like this, can literally kill the roots up against the container material in a few hours. White containers also under-light your plants partially through refraction.

I very often forget to share this tidbit because ive never messed with outdoor container growing with cannabis. Easily overlooked and fairly critical thing in some places tbh. Especially hot sunny places. Not a big deal if plants are big and shade them, but if plants arent big enough to shade the container surface, that shit will get hot enough to burn you by 2pm.


Another thing worth noting thats way more important in a container vs ground, is if your pot has been baking in the sunlight all afternoon, dont put cold water in the root system. Use tepid water, or let it come up to temp in the shade for a couple hours first. Your plants will thank you with consistently faster growth rates day to day. The better route, however, is to just make the container more reflective, and to not feed your plant rot-promoting warm water.

Definitely. I have a blk plastic pot and having issues with the lower half retaining too much moisture. I drilled almost 1/2" holes (guessing) in every space on bottom. I also sat pot on pallet so it would drain easier than straight on ground. I'm using shade cloth wrapped around a circular fence I made for my pot initially as a mini green house. I have 1" foam insulation around pot itself to block sun. Last year I used cardboard and created shade for the pot. Yeah, it's a bit ghetto. Lol
