Planted cherry gar see ya frostbanger thug roze x mandarin cookies an wedding cake auto dog took out my last crop now put up a fence there in peer pellets formula 707 an happy frog soil mix with great white added an soaked peer pellets in water an some voodoo juice using Alaska fish fertilizer dug holes in the ground an filled with soil mixture any guess on what to expect on harvest I know its late but I'm a green thumb
 
If your running all autos you should be fine. The next 3-5 weeks are natural veg times for photos, the same amount of time most autos veg for. So your early growth conditions should be just about as good if you started a month ago. The problems will come on the back end, 4 months from now it's getting nippy up in the mid west might want to build you a cold frame to finish them up come September.
I don't care how long your breeder says they finish in, outdoors is not stable conditions and rarely ideal conditions, count on adding 20ish% to that time

That is good to hear. I spent 2012 and 2014 wintering in southern MI and frost was setting in by mid September. A plan for heat retention would still be prudent, growth/development starts slowing considerably under 70F and darn near stops at about 55F. Matureplants can survive short periods of soft frost but the only real benefit to cold exposure is color expression ad you don't need to drop below about 65 to get that full effect.

If frost cold hits hopeful the strains I picked has some resistance to it I won't expect cold till Halloween its been pretty good

Even small measures can go a long way, anything you can cover the ground with will retain heat in the root zone, a overnight bagging of the whole plant will not suffocate it over nght(don't do in high Rh)
My next concern in your environment would be powdery mildew or any mold. I know your summers are just as stick by the lakes as they are down south, great for veg season but big chunky nugs + high Rh%= mold. Be vigilant cut out any sign of infection before it can spread.

Any guesses on the weight of harvest

ROTFLMAO
Your growing from seed, outdoors, have not shared your breeder.
The only way to make even a half assed guess of your final yield is to run a clone off a mother you have run before in identical conditions.
Best guesses is you will get about 3 oz per plant if they grow well in veg.
About 1/2 of them will stunt or develop to slow and you will get 1 top of 1-7grams(just my personal experience)
Autos have many advantages particularly outside, total yield in not one of them
 
Consisten watering is about all you can do to stabilize grow conditions. Reputable breeders. Sow in the earth means unlimited room for root development
Indoors the standard for autos (by pros) is about 8oz per plant. Seen people claim a full LB. I normaly get 3-5oz(mostly in 3 gal pots best was 6.5oz in a 5gal)
Every seed is a different plant, no two will be identical. Even if i had run the same stock last year in your yard I could not tell you that your seeds would be the same.
I got 2 autos of the same stock one in a bed and one in a pot, the one in the ground did not take off for whatever reason and flipped to flower I'm going to get a bowl pack off of her. The one in the pot is loving life about 55days old I think I'll snag a QP.
 
I won't top them most i will do is clear the bottoms of unwanted stems an aim for good root development I will keep updates on the progress harvest weight pics so forth hopefully some that do run into having to start late in the season can see how it does for examples

Start a journal, every grow is a data point for the next newbie
