No. UV is good
Likely water every day, depending depending on where your at the wind will be of more concern. Plenty of 30+ mph days with 50+ gusts. Grasshoppers and rabbits depending on how far out in the country you settle down. With the scorching sun and ~100 degree heat they will just need lots of food and water. A wind break is key!
It’s been 5% rh here all week. The plants grow fine, the hardest part is drying. You’ll prob need a small tent and humidifier to have a chance at a decent dry without babysitting them all day.
If I leave them hanging up they’re dry enough to crumble to dust in 3-4 days.

Plant so they get morning light and shade midday. This is easily accomplished.

New Mexico has a wide variety of growing environments. From desert to mountain sub alpine. More details would definitely help...

Don’t plant long flowering sativas outdoors. I lived there. A long time. Just buy shade cloth and use bamboo to shade them from about 12-3. Make sure they get morning light and as quickly as possible. Use mulch.
