Canadian growing: What's the minimum temp to start

[TheDude66]

I'm a first time grower in southern Ontario. So ordered myself some autoflower seeds. Wondering what's the minimum outdoor daytime temperature before I sow my seeds. Currently (May 12th) its only 10C outside...still quite chilly. I don't want to waste too much of my vegetative time growing slow in low temperatures.

I'd wait till we hit around 15C @ night tbh man.

Thanks dude. I think that's what I'll do. We should get there by end May in the Toronto area, and hopefully above 20C during the days.

Honestly I'm planting a few photos next weekend for my girlfriends family and just praying the plants are resilient enough to stick tough through it. I've got Autos indoors @ my place as my main focus

Don't have a good indoor set up, so I'm banking on the great outdoors for my autos. Thanks and good luck with the crop.

The clones are going out today,, no more room at the inn for them. Autos are still too small to go out, they will be out in June.. I'm down chatham area. Supposed to turn nice starting today and hopefully the rain eases off!

Climate change brother - anything below 15 will hurt the plant
