Outdoor White Cheese / White widow

[milkaz]

Hey dudes
I just started at 2 weeks growing Dinafem white cheese and White widow auto's, but i don't have any experience in outdoor growing. i live in the south of Portugal and the summer just finished in september 21 but the weader is still sunny as hell with temps around 28º day and 17º Night. My plants get direct sun all day since 8am and 7pm but im worried about burning the plants cuz my thermometer is exposed direct to the sun in the floor and it gets temps like 35º-37º.
Btw i'm using the same nuts that i was using in my indoors (GHE Floras Series) I give the nuts solved in water 1 time like it says on the Application chart, should i give more water than 1 time p week in outdoor ?

Welcome milkaz, your temps sound pretty good to me(how long does your season go in Portugal?)! Are you growing in pots/raised beds or straight in the ground? I think it will make a difference to your watering schedule. Maybe some chaps from your neck of the woods will chime in! All the best mate

I agree with krug, the rule of thumb is, the smaller the container or root space, the more frequently you should have to water. I can get away with only watering my indoor plants once a week under 600w HPS lamp, but have to water outside daily during the summer due to temps.

Here in the south we have a 3 months winter: December, January and February with temps around 6º night and 15º Day with rain, but normaly the other months are sunny. March, April and May are the spring months with temps like 14º in the night and 25º Day, June, Jully and August are the Summer months With temps around 36º Day and 29º Night, and now its autumn.
I'm using 10L pots.
Tks Krug ^^

I reckon your soil/roots may get a bit hot, during the day, in those pots(don`t want to cook your roots!),if in direct sun all day!...try to keep your water/feed cool, if temps are high(I`d water early evening,once they`re out of direct sun)... just my ...

Like i sayd, some pics, To be honest at the moment i dunno witch ones are White Cheese's and wich ones are W.Widow, i mixed the Jiffy's so i have to w8 for flowering period to know. I started with 5 White cheese and 3 white widow, 1 of that 8 seeds didn't germinate that means i have 7 now with 3 weeks.

It's my first time with auto's and my first outdoor, i hope it will be just fine and produce some good stuff ^^
If someone can't see the pics here i let the links.

That's it, i just get them inside and now they'r growing in 250WHps.
7 pots its a lot for just a 250W hps, but i turned the light cicle to 18/6 and i'll w8 for improvements. :S
