It's fun to see many different strains next to each other, because that's when you can really see the differences between them. And the chronological pix, too, those are fun.

Any dummy can do this outside!!
I am living proof! :wacky:
I Just water em.(I cant remember who said that but I liked it!)

That's a killer spot doggie.. I'd hook up some mist & make that the kick it spot outside.. Carve out a Lil tunnel in2 the jungle & have a Lil mist area under the trees.. Like a Lil tropical jungle.. That would b where I'm chillin & smokin.. I bet all the plants would love some mist mounted on the ceilings .. During veg only tho

This would create a really nice little microclimate for both you and your girls. You'd be amazed at how much faster they'll keep growing if you can keep rh up and temps down with misting.

Yeah Misters Sound like a great idea...I had one those for the birds Avairay to keep it cool.
. But My well water clogs em up quick.
Same thing with drip lines. I need a better sand filter on my well.

I do love sitting out there in the shade of the weed trees though! :woot:

I water everything every morning...I think the evaporational cooling helps a bit

Of course it does- so get out there and do it again during the hottest post of the day, to knock the edge off the heat.
Take the hose and spray water into the interior of each plant. This will help it stay cool during the hot part of the day, and will likely help it grow faster, too.

My trees have educated me about transpiration cooling during hot days. My mom planted a bunch of trees around the house 30 years ago and they now keep this property a good 15 degrees cooler than the nominal reading.

Encourage the effect by watering the roots of your outdoor plants right about one o'clock. Then, set up misting to raise local humidity levels. You might be shocked at how much this helps, because they'll grow so much faster in the presence of higher relative humidity.

I would only employ this aggressive strategy in full midday sun conditions.

when you look at the last photo I posted, you can there are big oak trees that shade the greenhouse after 5pm.
Im pretty sure those plants are liking the filtered light.
