Couple Questions

I have been growing out doors for around 7 weeks now. The temperatures are starting to go in the mid fifties to the high forties. Could I bring it indoors during night time because my house only gets down to like 60 degrees during night. Also I been having a little bit of a bug problem but not serious. I can post a pic if its okay. Thanks.

Once the temps get into the 50's the plant will start slowing growth down and can lead to stunting etc. Once it gets below that and into the 40's death is around the corner. So yes you can bring them inside but you have to be as close to precise on getting them out and in everyday, which can be a PITA, especially depending on the size pot they are in.

Def okay to post pics, I have brought them in at night before. Just a lot of work, and you can't sleep in :) What bugs are bugging you?

Maybe you could induce flowering this way at 7 weeks it should be ready for flowering. If you decide to do that you should put it in a dark room in your house for 12 hours and then put it outside for 12 hours. If you bring it in make sure wherever you put it doesn't have any light leaks. Just an idea you can do it anyway you want.

IMO They are fine until you hit 32 F and below. Half of northern ca and the PNW is 50 f or below at night.

I get down to low 40's all the time during the summer in norcal. Side effect of being near the ocean. Most mornings my outdoor thermometer says 40 when I get up at 5:30am. Hasn't been a problem. Maybe my plants would bigger if it was warmer but I've still got some 4 and 5 foot bushes.

Plants are doing much at night time. as long as the days are warm or above 50 it's doing fine.

It was 45 this morning were I live and my plant is just fine, IMO you should start woring when it gets close to 32, My plant is part Northern Lights so genetics might play a role in the hardiness of your plant.

Next time try an early flowering stain or an autoflower...anything crossed with RUDERALIS will speed up the cycle.

That's kinda what I figure. I can easily see high 80's even 90 during the day and still get 40-50 at night. My plants just seem to shrug and do their thing. I also threw them outside into those temps when they were small so maybe they're used to it.

I'm growing outdoors and your going to have bug problems. The only thing you can do is to keep it to a minimum. When my plants were young I started spraying them with neem oil about once every 2 weeks as a deterrent and it seemed to work fairly well. Later on I noticed some minor thrip damage and then I saw what I thought might be a very minor spider mite problem ( on just one plant). I decided to try some Monterey with Spinosad. Sprayed 3x once every 4to 6 days and that really helped. Haven't seen any thrip or spider mite damage at all for going on about a month or so. I drenched the plants when I sprayed ( only in the late evening, never in direct sunlight) and the plants showed no ill effects at all, in fact after neem oil sprays the plants actually looked healthier. I would check about spraying anything on very young plants just to be safe. Good luck.

Thanks, I have been looking around, but see I dont have any cash at the moment, do you happen to know of any simple tricks to get rid of the spider mites?

Lady bugs. Highly efficient and organic. They love the mites and won't harn your buds. Never have had mites but have put random lady bugs in my grow room to scout for anything else.
I was always outdoors in my veggie garden and knowing I could bring unwanted pests to my grow I was always looking for lady bugs just incase.

You can buy em or find em in nature. :) a nursery near where I lived last sold them amd were cheap cheap. I never had to buy them tho so I can't tell you the exact cost.

For instance, if you see a rose bush in someone's yard it most likely has a few lady bugs doing their thing eating the mites that also love rose bushes.

Put them on it. I've witnessed on this site people use them for major infestations and get rid of more than a co2 dump. They won't harm your ladies.
