The short season here is the main challenge. That and having to water daily unless your containers are over 30 gallons.
Here at elevation it's a "start em indoors" when you decide how big you want em to be @ finish. You CAN grow big bushes here but you'll be running 3 months indoors before you can set them out June 1...if yer lucky/it is warm enough. We have yet to see a killing frost here this year and that is VERY rare. El Nino rare. It is 34F out there right now though....so the morning cold is creeping in and it's been so DRY here we may see a freeze before we see a frost. Too much info...LOL... "coffee".
IF I were facing such humid conditions/rot I'd be growing autos that finished mid-Summer...or I'd have a designated room set up like yours...with a light and a dehuey...and I'd just bring em in an 12/12 'em to finish rather than risking the rot.
Best of luck!
