Hello,
I'm working on my second grow. I have three bag seed plants that are half indoor, half outdoor plants. Not sure what strains they are, but they all seem different. Looks like two sativas and one indica. I put them outside to absorb as much of the natural sunlight as they can. I put them inside under some small T5 6500K lights when it gets too dark or cold outside, to keep the photo-period consistent. When/If flowering time comes, I hope to have a HPS system by then.
The babes have been growing nicely into veg. They've produced their 5-finger leaves and are on their way producing 7-finger leaves.
My problem at the moment is the heat stress. I only put them outside in the sun for the first day, yesterday. They were outside from about 11am-6pm, in direct sunlight. I tested temperature with my infrared temp gun to be no more than 75 degrees F in the sun. They seem to really enjoy the light, except they show symptoms of heat stress. But it wasn't really THAT hot yesterday. Just a typical Spring day with a fair amount of chilly wind. The type of stuff Cannabis loves, apparently...
I also had perpetual heat stress issues with my grow last year. And my buddy had a grow; also would suffer heat stress like almost immediately. No matter how strong and big our plants were, they seemed to perpetually have heat stress.
It seemed like no matter what I did, the leaves would taco and never go back to normal.
My current plants started taco-ing yesterday. After bringing them inside and letting them sleep for the night, I wake to find their leaves STILL TACO'D! I'm quite perplexed, as I understand Cannabis is a plant that THRIVES in some of the hottest and sunny places on Earth, such as India. Yet, a balmy spring day in New England sends them into heat stress?
Please, I am looking for some insight. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank You
