Just wondering 
Do outdoor plants get humidity problems ? Same with things like heat/light stress
- Thread starter itsaliveterps

Their more tolerate to the conditions because they have not been babyed thier whole life in a contained environment, but yes. Growing outside can be a bit of a crap shoot mold mildew bugs people extreme weather all pose a threat.
Choose genetics carefully when doing things outside.

Sounds very challenging to grow outside I'd be overwhelmed lol what would happen if it rained?
Dude your over thinking things. Marijuana has been growing in the wild for 100k years.
Humans have been farming it since the beginning of civilization.
There is a reason why it's called weed.
Nature is brutal, only the strong and lucky survive that's just the facts of farming of any kind

I only grow outside. There are some things to consider. If you grow in the ground and not in a pot you can grow so much the bad things have to work pretty damn hard to put your plant completely down. What I do is take the best care possible within reason and junk out the ugly stuff.
So you take a little damage, big deal. Maybe you lose a half a pound to bugs and weather but you still have a pound and a half, or more of good bud.

Heat stress is also a thing to consider, depending where you're at midday heat can be brutal for the plants. I think without CO2 addition photosynthesis stops between 30-33 degrees Celsius (strain dependent)

You mean 95dg Fahrenheit? Plants can easily handle that heat. It can get 110dg here in the summer, plants love it as long as they are watered well

They will survive for sure, but they won't thrive as much as they can. Peak photosynthesis os somewhere between 25-30 dg Celsius / 77-86 dg Fahrenheit. Otherwise Stomata close and respiration comes to a halt, so no more growth. Most of the growth in hot areas happens in the early day and over noon photosynthetic activity is almost none.
another interesting exploration is whether that actually increases cannabinoids and terpenes while sacrificing growth rate (saw a paper somewhere to targeted drought stress)
