Outdoor Growing

Welcome to the friendliest forum around!

The WW autos will do fine in those temps. Mine were planted outdoors 17 days after sprout, nighttemps 46-48, daytime 55. They grew slowly in the beginning, but flowering didn’t start until they were ~55 days, so they grew big enough.

Remember to habituate them first. Let them get 3-4 hours of daylight outside the first few days, then leave them outdoors permanently. Daylight is strong and could damage/bleach the leaves.

What type of containers are they in now and which pots/containers are you planning to grow them in? Autos don’t like transplants so I suggest you only do this once.

Thanks @arcticGrow. They’re in 3 gallon pots (I heard it doesn’t make sense to transfer autos if it can be avoided) and I’ve been trying to get them every minute of natural sunshine that comes our way - unfortunately it’s been a rainy spring here in Seattle so far but it’s supposed to turn nice starting tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip on acclimating them. Quick question - once I get them out there permanently, should I elevate the pots to try to avoid some insects or pests? Or isn’t it worth it? I was thinking just getting them up on blocks or my patio as opposed to having them resting directly on the ground.
