My apartment has a small, fairly private deck that gets morning sun (when the sun comes out at all here in the coastal Pacific Northwest), so for a science project I'm growing a CropKing Dwarf Low Flyer autoflower in a pot out there.
I planted the germinated seed on last day of winter. The temperature dropped to 39F that night, so even with a little greenhouse dome over the pot, it got cold. Here's how the seedling looked this morning, a few days later:

I know it would have been better to wait until May or June, but this is still a fun project even if I do end up with a plant that's only 6" tall. Pot's legal here (at last!), so if all else fails I can just drive to one of half a dozen dispensaries nearby and pick up a $9 gram.

- This plant only gets seven hours of direct sun at best, from sunrise to 2 PM (but the days are getting longer fast).
- Usually at this time of year it's overcast with daily rain showers.
- Temperatures are typically in the 40s at night and may warm up to the high 50s during the day.
- The plant is growing in cheap Ace Hardware Store potting soil--a premium growth medium with wood chips and pieces of broken glass in the mix.
