We got sun here...we got high temps...above ninety most days, and over 100 a lot of days. Plants grow big in my area, just not in my garden. My brother, who grows in the ground, and hardely looks at his girls before harvest has monster plants. He hardly even gives them food, cept what he amends his soil with each spring, like mushroom compost and horse manure. He iritates the heck out of me, doing nothing and getting such big plants. He even went so far as to cut the shade OUT of his garden area. Still they thrive. I am of a mixed mind bout high heat and MJ when it comes to outdoors. I do think tho, cooling off at night makes a difference too. I am still trying to "dial" in....
