A question from an indoor grower

I would suggest any organic soil or soiless mix with adequate drainage and ferts in them. Im using something with worm castings, bat guano, vermiculite, and other necessary ingredients. I get the bags for $7. As far as nutes, its up to as far as how much chemicals you want in your plants. I use a light organic nute that is 8-7-6.

They're pretty small trees, and I was just going to put them near the trees, I just figured if the trees were growing ok there, it was a good spot in the yard

Ok, I was thinking they were larger. Pick the spot in your yard that gets the most direct sunlight from sunrise to sunset. If you need to shade them, beach umbrellas are like 8 bucks at walmart.

I'm using chemical nutes now, but only because I don't have the ability to compost in my growlab. Thats one of the reasons I wanted to switch to outdoor growing was that I have more freedom to try different things

Everything I am growing survived the week that I had around 102 degree weather. They were fine, but the soil dried out really fast. I have a bunch of mixes of sativa indica and also some ruderalisis. they did not seem to mind it one bit. It stays around 90-104 where I live. And around 50-66 degrees at night.

I would say instead of building a greenhouse and all that check out that shading cloth its made to cut out the sun there is like a 50/50 and 75/25 where it only lets thru half or 3/4 of the sun's light will help to cut heat. Also u can spread an inch or 2 of mulch on top of ur soil to keep it cool. Then a fan or 2 to keep a breeze goin.

what i would do is build my own. screen walls glass top. full air flow. no reason to have glass sides.

Ouch, idk bout the glass top in AZ, wouldn't that b like usin a magnify glass to fry some ants? Or do u mean like some sort of frosted glass and am I just a tard?
