Lots for me to learn! The tent outdoors is in a shed. I was told auto need more than 12 hours of direct sun and I can’t give that much to them, so I thought a tent in the shed would help increase their light exposer. Electricity is crazy expensive in Hawaii so I’ll have to grow a few in just full sun and see if the autos that are hybrid (outdoor and shed) out perform them. If it’s close to the same, that would be awesome! I would LOVE to transition to fully outdoors! As always, thanks so much for your perspective!Hi Will11! I can't see any advantages of using a tent outdoors, but I am sure that you would be able to make it work. Regarding cups of soil out in the direct sun, yes, that might require watering a couple of times a day to keep up with the intense sun. A larger container would seem to solve that problem, at least until the plants got bigger. You have some of the best and brightest sun in the world where you are at, and that certainly needs to be taken into account when devising a method to grow weeds in it, and you are going to have to adjust in ways that an indoor grower would not.
