Caribbean Outdoors

[Eyeless]

aight guys i've finally got around to starting my outdoor grow journal...right now i'm growing outdoors in a partial green house i threw together over the weekend. I do have some questions for those who have grown outside in hot conditions before.

K where i'm growing we currently have about 13hrs of light a day....since we are near the equator the seasons don't change very much
with 13hrs i was wondering if this would seriously hinder my grow and if i should use some sort of artificial lighting @ night? will 13 hrs allow budding?

Also should i give them direct sunlight? because right now daytime high gets to around 90... sumtimes more sumtimes less...they are in a green house where the temps are cooler but this reduces total light

here are some pics...let me know what you guys think

this is the half of the green house i put together

these are the 15 seedlings (some havn't busted out of the shell yet):

and this is a close up

Peace
P.S. glad to be back

I'm not sure about the 13 hours of light .... That may work, you should try to get as much as possible, Well, no more than 18 ? Someone can help you on this. And you definetly wanna give them direct sunlight, but in your greenhouse you wanna keep some windows or doors open so they can get fresh air .... LOL, how are you near the equater but in canada ?

13 hours of light and 11 off, that will throw the plants into flower, i suggest veging them indoor till there about the size you want them then throw them outside. you wont have to harden because its warm.

This Is A Kool Grow....
You Will Be Just Fine With The 13 Hrs Of Light..........
14 Or 15 Would Be Better.......... But You Take What You Can Get...

I Know The Other 11 Hrs Is Not A Tottal Black Out..
You Have Dusk And Dawn Plus Moon Light..

You Are GOING TO BE FINE......

Looks Good...
Keep On Top Of Them And You Will Be Happyer Than A Pig In Mud This Fall.......

B.T.W... LOVE THE LAND SCAPE.......KILLER YARD.......
