someday when i get my greenhouse built i hope i can do a plant like Sasha. way to FM. she looks great. is the black fencing around here so that people don't see her? i use the same stuff down here but we put it directly over the plant to block out the hot mid day sun. i use it on sensitive plants like tomatos and other veggies.

Seems like as long as my tomatoes have enough dirt and water they dont mind full sun, but they have to be completely used to the sun b4 the hottest days come. I have one variety of toms that is still weary of the sun and tacos up on hot days. I dont know which variety it is as my toms this year are from toms that fell on the ground last yer so it could be 5 different ones. Ill have a surprise when they are blooming!

That was the plan to keep people from seeing them but that is not going to last long. These plants seem to like the direct sunlight and it is very fucking strong here! I honestly thought I would not be able to grow a plant outside here cause of the heat and it seems they like it provided I give them a shit ton of water
@BC I might tuck her one more time but I also want to transplant her!!! Yes I said it, transplant her. I was thinking a 20 Gallon. My plant is to take the empty 20 gallon and slip it under the 7 gallon she is in and then cutting the 7 gallon off her with scissors and fill her up with some SOIL!!! What do you think??? Possible or I shouldnt put SOIL?

i'm gonna start looking for some varieties that like the sun. the ones i have here can't handle it. plus, the sun is a lot stronger down here at latitude 9. i'm basically sitting on the equator. i'm sure that plays a part in it too. you get sunburnt here a lot quicker than in the u.s.

I was thinking soil cause it would be less watering. But thats fine CoCo

I get burned easy as fuck as it is!! I hate the sun actually, except for that my plants love it and I love them so I guess I like it...
I almost killed my vegging inside girls. I went from 1 gal plastic to 3 gal dirtpot and they need water just as soon, I figured they would go longer lol.

90-95 degrees during the day all year round. except when it rains. humidity is 80-85% all year round. i tried a few outdoor grows over the years and no matter what did i always got bud rot, mold, pests, etc... just way to humid here. the sun doesn't seem to bother them as much as the humidity. i got some real nice buds a few times but they were just all rot in the middle. temps drop to 75 at night. that's why i gotta build a big greenhouse. scouted out a spot on my property. thinking about doing one that is 25x60. gotta put dehus in it so it needs to be sealed.

i love the sun. my skin has become used to it down here after 8 years. i can go all day at the beach with no shirt on and not get burned. migh need a little 30spf during the course of the day. i'm used to it though. i spend most my time either on the water or in it. lol. i've had so many friends come down here and get burnied in 30 minutes. they don't realize how much stronger the sun is here.

UV index here is pretty high.
30 mins will get you roasted if you are not prepared. Even on a cloudy day
I know we arent at the equator like you, so I can only imagine what its like down there.

Maybe it isnt just the sun, but maybe the humidity is affecting the toms as well??
My house is 24x64 right now, I could only dream of a grow that size!!
