Going Outdoors in Florida?

budthirsty said:

I have harvested a good number of grows indoors but have never gone outdoors cause I'm afraid of bugs, high humidity and heat, animals and many other things I can't control. I want to do some auto flowering strains outside but I guess they are the most tempermental strains there is, which makes me worry even more, but they would be perfect cause I could harvest more than once a year and are very stealthy. Someone give me some advice on how to keep bugs and animals away and how to keep buds from molding or mildew cause by high heat and humidity!!! or any other problems u may have experienced or know of! HELP!

I just finished a LowRyder 2xAK47, and a white dwarf outside two wks ago with no probs beside one spider mite (white dwarf) which I removed and misted a mix of soap and water. Here (Central FL) the weather has been horrible and they both only yeilded about a 1/4 zip total. I doubt you'll have probs with mold even in this bad rainy weather as of late. If I was you I would keep them indoors under HPS to maximize growth. I am very disapointed in the yield.

I used Fox Farm nutes and Ocean Farm /Perlite (75/25) started in jiffy pots inside under 4' T5 HO flourescents 18/6 till week 3. Used 1 Gallon Pots.

I tried a bit of both on Sunday was good but not great potency wise. AK47 was def the better or the two had more of a head effect.

I think the outdoor spot is vitial and can change your plants due to its surronding atmosphere. If you have an nice outdoor spot in a safe well conditioned area ( i.e. nxt to a lake and safe from being seen) you should be alrite. But i agree with what that other guy said for sure. With this weather out latley .... who knows. Best be safe and use an indoor setup to maxamize growth potential. Mold and Spider Mites ARE 2 Forces that I hate to reckon with........ but you'll have to get used to it.

Thanks for the good response. Ya unfortunately my indoor setup has been raided by my so called "friends" so I got some seeds that I want to do outdoors but am afraid it will just be a waste!

Bro thats real shitty to hear about them fake friends. Trust very few thats my best advice.... and i had to find out the hard way. I think most of us do.

What seed strains do you think on trying in the outdoors? If its an outdoor strain I'll say try it... but then again depends on the strain .

I got Lowlife Auto Ak47, Lowlife Auto Lemon Skunk (which Lowlife says spider mites will love that strain) and Sagamartha Double Diesel Ryder. Ya I know not to trust people but I did anyways I feel like I can't give up on people yet, but they just made it a little easier for me lol. I wander if I can get them into a tree somewhat if that would help with bugs and animals? But I still want good direct sunlight. Idk this whole outdoor thing is very hard to me lol. Any recomendations on products that are natural that I can use on the plant that'll keep bugs and animals away? What about smell? Are people gonna be able to smell this shit within a cirtain radious?
