Hello my name is john and I am new to both this forum and to growing.
I have about 6 3-4 ft plants that were grown from seed which I started in late spring. I wanted to grow more as I wont be able to grow indoors (due to lack of money at the moment) and this will be my medicine for quite a while. So I went to a cannabis club in sanfransisco to pickup some good strains from a well known care giver. I picked up 10 clones and brought them home to modesto, ca.
My problem is it is in the midst of summer and i know they will not stand the heat (it regularly gets above 100 degrees here). They will die if i stick the in direct sunlight for any length of time. I am keeping them well watered misting them and trying to give them a little sun light. I dont know how to protect them from the heat and the sun though. They need light to grow but they are to little to keep out in the sun.
I only have a 4 bulb t12 flouresent light that could be used for indoors and i dont believe its powerful enough to be the only source of light for these babies, plus im woried about the heat in my house and the lack of airflow through that closet........
should I put them under the light indoors until they are bigger and stronger and could handle the heat better?
or should i only give them sunlight in the morning and evening when its cooler?
I mean I'm completely lost. Please tell me what i can do? Thanks a lot.
