First time outdoor florida.what do I need for setup?

[hummps]

I move mine in and out of the sun or weather all the time . When it's hot I pull them in shade or when it's raining hard until they can withstand it . This year is the first year I have committed to the capn jacks . So far it's been effective . I've only used 2, 16 ounce bottle so far . My guys are 5 feet tall at the moment . So it takes a bottle to cover them usually. Last year I used fox farm Don't Bug Me. So so . Pyrethrin based.
Walmart carries the capn jacks concentrate for 14.00 enough to last the season I prefer the soap one with the spinosaid but it's hard to always find in stock.

The foliar conditioner is something I read about somewhere... Did some looking .So I tried it. Someone on here has a post about it ....I'll have to locate it .
Tried it about a week ago. Last year the leaves just looked so papery. I wanted to find a way to make them lusher . So that's what I tried .

Suppose to rain all week. Do I keep them outside or pull them in after first shower? Mendo breath is delicious and so is glue

I also have some critical seeds and green poison.

What kind of light and are they inside?

I use a light as a supplement only , in the beginning usually , before I transplant while they are small and can sit on a shelf
Then when they outgrow it I take them outside . And usually up pot.

I would use your best judgment there. I'm a sissy about our thunder storms . My girls are 5 feet tall and yesterday I pulled them under the porch after about 15 minutes of down poor ! That small they could break . Fall over . But definitely give them some rainwater the quicker you can toughen them up is always a plus .

What part of the state are you in? I am in-between the swamp and Mickey mouse .

Problem is it's also Florida so it's a coin toss if itll actually rain with the forecast. I know plants love rain water

So you use different foods throughout the grow?

Also another quick tip I would recommend, with the fabric pots , definitely elevate them off the ground. Just a touch at least . I have mine on wire doors I repurposed from a pet cage I had. Chuck was the one who originally gave me the tip. Was sound advice . I developed some algae on the bottom when they were not. And since elevating , I haven't had to much of an issue with it returning .

I use a high nitrogen for veg, 24 14 11, one is a liquid and other is a water soluble . Water soluble takes a little longer to break down than the liquid. I do not push the 24 14 11 until transplant or week 4 however for a auto I would start sooner . I just follow package instructions in the begining . Ease into it slowly increase it until I see slight tip burn. I usually mix in the 24 14 11 into my transplant dirt. Which in your case your already in your final pot.

Pre flower I push the Tiger bloom Then at flower I flip to lower nitrogen 9 50 10

I typically start with these two when they are little . I use the big bloom through Harvest , as a water additive so I go through a lot of that. Easily found local at Sparr and Rural King

It's amazing when you grow your plants in the wood how much heavy rain an winds it protects them from

In low land coastal areas only problems I had is with bore worms they come into waves if your East coasters should recognize this sound grass around the plants .....area floods during hurricane high tides but this area all ways stays dry

Various species of borers, which are the larval stage of certain insects like moths and beetles, can cause significant damage to plants in the southern East Coast region.
Here are some of the most common types of borers found in this area and the types of plants they infest:
