Lol unfortunately it’s a orange crush og kush hybrid which I know ogs ate super finicky but I kind of want to see what happens. I have a tent indoors so I’m thinking I’m just gonna veg then outside and pull a couple in every couple of weeks to flower. I know people go from inside out but Idk about outside in.
Not to hijack the thread, but I'm also in the desert and have some seedlings in cups (inside now).
I was told that I'm over-watering but it appears they grow better with the soil constantly moist, and in my experience with other plants this seems to be the case.
With how dry it is here I've been watering them about once a day.
Is this not the correct way to do this?
Their not sitting in standing water.

You’re gonna want to water in those cups I thought the same thing and I came home to a bunch of wilty thirsty plants luckily I was home early that day. Best thing to do is get them out if Those cups ASAP I noticed one of the ones I transplanted to a 1 gal fabric wasn’t as wilty possibly because the soil kept it somewhat still moist so I’d go with bigger pots outside but I don’t think my plants will do well outside if they couldn’t handle 105 I can take imaging the 118 this week.
Humic acids and sea kelp extracts help with heat stress as well as silica I’ve been giving my plants some fulvic Humic sea kelp blend from kelp4less as well as armor si from general hydroponics but I can’t say how well it’s working since I just started this week also coco is supposed to Be good for helping plants grow in the heat. Usually if you can keep the roots cool they should Be somewhat ok I’m gonna get some shade cloth and plant one outside tomorrow to see if it’s lives.

We have good results getting plants started early in spring so we can plant out before the extreme temps. Mulching and deep watering for plants in the ground.
When doing containers it’s all about the biggest container possible and then shade cloth or afternoon shade comes in very handy.
