Outdoor Growing Tips
Use Outdoor Growing Space to
Increase Sales and Profits
Turn Outdoor Growing Space into Spring Sales
Outdoor growing is the simplest, most cost-effective way to take advantage of cool night temps; the plants are toned, well-branched, and stronger, while the bright spring days push blooms for maximum color. Take advantage of natural light and the cost savings (no fans, electricity, etc.) of growing outdoors on weed mat with a simple watering system.
Start Early in the Spring with
Frost-Tolerant Crops
Criteria for the moving day
- Moderate temperatures (40s)
- Overcast skies
- Little to no wind (most important factor)
We recommend moving approximately 4 weeks before the last frost free date. Due to fluctuations in weather conditions, the schedule may have to be adjusted. Please note your specific region requirements.
Once danger of frost has passed, you can safely move all your Proven Winners® and Proven Selections® crops to outdoor growing space. For later season, try Summer and Fall varieties. These plants are great for both consumers and growers; and the best part is they’re perfectly suited for growing outdoors.
