pineapple chunk

i am growing pineapple chunk outdoors and have read that they need to be in a greenhouse . will these plants still grow ok outdoors or do they need shade ?

im pretty sure if you had it in a greenhouse its same as outside just no bugs.. but if they havent been in sun train them in it so they dont burn up. 3 hours one day 5 hours next etc until its up to full

thanks they have been in sun from seed

sometimes they recomend that for strains that are prone to mold or mites, its easier to control things in a greenhouse then in the wilderness

I don't think any cannabis strain wants 'shade'. You really see from indoor grows that all the plants respond well to a better light source. If you put cannabis in a greenhouse or some kind of walled environment outside the purpose would be to use a roof and walls that give optimum light level (the right materials diffuse the light but don't reduce the power) but let CO2 and temperature build up. Although all plants grow better with higher levels of CO2 than our planet currently contains (and in such an environment also want a warmer temperature) it is not a necessity for any cannabis strains. Then like the dude said in a previous reply bugs and pests are a bitch, so depending on what you got hanging around locally you may need to guard your plants. Finally one last reason to enclose your 'out door' grow is to protect it against the elements such as heavy rain and wind which can smash the resin heads or just generally mess with your plants optimum health.
