How's the Mango Haze coming along Matey?

@Rebel Things are just dandy mate . Here is where I am at with the Mango Haze , He is a run down -- Climate -- Tropical Lowland Coastal . Min temp 16 to 18 c --- Light hours 11.25 -- Light hour increasing by 1.3 min a day -- RH mean 69 % -- Plants getting 5 hour direct sun and around 1.1/2 hours dappled sun . -- soil my own organic . Due to rocky ground I have them in a 27 ltr pots with bottom cut out and holes drilled to sort of make air pots . Then I thought I better control soil temp , so I used larger white pots to help reflect the heat away , there is also a 2 to 3 in gap which I filled with soil and put a heavy layer of straw on top . As I will get temps above 30 c in the coming weeks I will put a shade cloth to cut the power of the afternoon sun which is the hottest part of the day , The reason is that I was reading about leaf temps and thought it would be a good way to help keep them cool . At this stage I have not fed them and they are into there 3rd week of flower , I got the seeds from another grower south of me who grows them every year but is in the high country that gets frost . He tends to get more than a pound a plant , not that I expect to get that being the environment I have . I am trying to get the timing right for this spot , Last time I tried I had till the second week in October till they re vegged .

Update . Well guys I am more than happy with the way things going , I still have not fed them and they are just living off the soil , When I water I do feed the microbes , -- Molasses -- I have decide for the long season grow to give Zamal x THH ago , I was gifted them . They will be in the same spot and it will be over the wet season , so we will just have to see how they grow , but in saying that , it is the time most growers here grow and I made this spot so I can sit down and chill out with a beer and a joint .
