Help with indoor transitioning to outdoor in WNY

[MICHI-CAN]

In MI I wait until we have 13.5 hours of sun and temps in the mid 50's- 70F. Then I place my seedlings in the sun and watch them. First sign of wilt or droop, in they come. And try again until I can leave them in sun all day. Some strains there is no issue. Others take days to harden. Just don't toss them outside and call it good. It is a easy transition.

Too lazy and no patience. They want it NAOW! And mommy and daddy probably bought the Escalade.

Probably around my bday, which is may 18th, till june 1st. Probably closer to the latter lol. Until then i'll be strategizing how the fuck i'm gonna move this thing

Sadly this is on the second floor. I'm gonna have a flight of stairs and a landing with a right angle turn to deal with. Oh well where there's a will there's a way i guess, or so they say

I live in a swamp of a state. Mold is prolific. Regalia in feed or foliar. Air flow and temp control outdoors. Or It is fun with monsters.

LMAO. I'm surrounded by the great ponds between us.

And this is a lovely conversation but i still need a definitive answer on watering, i think you just told me it should get 6 gal for 18 gal tote? So 6 gal - .79 gal (what it's got today already ) = 5.21 gal. Just wasn't sure i understood you. If that's the case i'll go give it 5 gal right now

Apologies. Hope my mouth offered a few tips. Watering over 6 gal pots is beyond me. In ground if growing that kind of plant.

 

[Southernontariogrower]

out doors going to be late for sure, maybe closer to june. Ill know when! You can smell the time. Buy a third hp pump, hose is light.

No worries. Too bad i'm not south of the equator, or west coast even, then i wouldn't have to ask weirdass questions like this
