Dutch Passion Think Different/Auto Ultimate/Auto BlueMazar

[MoChillah]

Good evening everyone,

hope you're all doing and growing well. I recently purchased these three lovely strains and pretty excited to grow them. I would also like growing them outdoors so let me ask you:

what is the minimum temperature these autoflower varieties can still grow at?
are 10-11 hours of daylight including 6-7 hours of direct sunlight sufficient?
are temperatures between 8 C and 22 C too harsh?

cheers,
M.

Any input? Maybe from Dutch passion members?

Hey. Will the temps rise in the coming months or so? 8c is very cold. Im not an outdoor grower but indoors the girls slow down alot by 16-17 degrees, so if your temps going down to 8c it wouldn't be healthy for them.

 

[MoChillah]

Yes, they will, I am just being impatient. I am starting an indoor grow until the weather gets warmer.

Hey, I'd second what Tdam says. I notice my plants really slow down if it drops below 20C, but then I only grow indoors as well so don't really know all that much.

There are some amazing outdoor threads about the place with some seriously talented growers who really know their stuff. I'm sure they'll be happy to help, here are a couple from 912GreenSkell which leap to mind as he had to deal with a short growing season and some low temps:
