I grow at 1700' in Southern Oregon and put everything outside after our last freeze date, April 29 (actually put them out May 6 due to some serious rain). Temps have been up to 96° full sunlight but I did harden them by putting them outside 6-8hrs daily (with 20mph winds) most of two weeks before full-time outside. I use well water with a 7.25 pH, soil amended with organics to 6.8 pH.

Can't answer your question about Miracle Grow as I grow organic.

There's an image of this year's crop at six weeks here:

Always plant after the last frost in your area
Freezing temperatures will damage your plant
They can put up with some heat but thrive around 75-80 degrees
NEVER USE MIRICLE GROW for your plants
Try fox farms or something

I live a Mile High, no issues with growing even up here!
Some plants are much more tolerant of cold than others, likewise others tolerate heat better.
As a rule of thumb, indicas are a little more tolerant of cold, and sativas more so of heat. This is of course due to where they originate, and hybrids and breeding def affect those things, research will prove valuable here for strain selection, attitude is a great place to just spend hours reading.
You live in oregon you have to have the hundreds of hydro shops like we do here in colorado, go get some quality nutes, you have grown before you say, so you know that this is not where to cut corners.
WTF? Posting in a dead post here! Whoops!
