I have been growing here for a while,black plastic pots will fry the roots. When the heat waves come in July and august smart pots less than 30 gallons sometimes need watering twice a day. In a month when your plants are established it's hard to over water,with the right amount of water they thrive in the heat waves. In the beginning I was worried about over watering and my plants just seemed to survive the heat wave. Keep them wet,Bug free and you should end up with some nice plants.Good luck

Such a great post if you or someone else is around and sees this question...how much light does it take at midnight to be sure they are awake? Curious. Thx in advance.

Folks say one hour is enough. But I do an hour and a half just to be on the safe side.

I've seen the led's strung on a wire used a lot for outdoors. My setup is small and under glass, so I just use a couple of the twisty CFL's.

Here is an update on the experimental attempt to reveg some Blue Dream clones.
Recap: I took cuttings from a Blue Dream 2 weeks after the shift to flowering. The Blue Dream was my winter grow, so the cuttings went in the clone dome around December. The clones grew slowly and I put them outside mid-March (12/12 light). Within weeks, the plant produced sickly curled leaves and strangely formed buds. As an experiment, I decided to wait to see if the clones would return to the veg state by mid-summer.
They have not. The old bud growth is brown and clearly past any good harvest window. Under the scope, the trichomes are intact but nearly all amber. Note the brown on the old bud sites. In the wider angle pic (3), you can see the plant seems to be producing new vegetative growth, but it is producing another set of buds as well. You can see the old and newer parts of the plant in the pics.
It seems like these cuttings had a hard time returning to veg growth when taken from a flowering plant AND placed outside a bit too early. Any other explanations?
Old Bud growth:
Old bud growth and new buds. . . Pardon the insect damage:
Later growth appears more vegetative, but new bud growth exists as well. What the what?

I am in the Toronto area and we still have over 14 hours of daylight.
In the first days of August my girls started to flower.
I should add that my flowering plants appear to have sativa dominant genes.
I also have two plants that have more indica traits have not yet flowered.
All my plants are from an accidental Gorilla Glue X Frisian Dew cross.
