Yup, you've got a short summer like we do here in Nova Scotia 
I'm interested in the advice you will get, it applies to me here as well

Its absolutely true. Amazing what you can from the air in a small plane.

Apparently, it is illegal to grow outdoors at all in the HRM, all grows have to be indoors.
So much for my summer plans.
The cops will probably be busy this summer, I grow indoors anyhow so no biggie.

Ive got a nice high fence all around my yard, i do have neighbours but both smoke and ive grown outside last year in the yard but in a raised garden bed, this year planting in the ground for bigger plants but im worried about cold october and no way to move the plant if the weather does go cold early fall

The last few falls we've had have been warmer than old days, i spent days in the woods in a tshirt in late october last couple years. I'll check my garden journal but i think our 1st killing frost was in late october last year. I pulled my herbs late in the second week of oct, i think.

Grew lots outdoors on west coast of Nl years ago.
Grew them in large buckets and in the ground a couple times. The bucket method allows you to avoid rain for the most part near the end of the grow. If we had a big rain coming i would either move them under a big tree or bunch them up and put a plastic sheet over them.
Had really good results with Donkey Dick outdoors.

The bigger you have them before moving outside the better imho.

Is your frost safe date in early June? A 2 month head start is good. Suggest you set your lights to what the daylight hours will be when you put them out.
Also read up on plant hardening - a process to get them used to full sun and wind in stages so they dont get fried.

I started some seeds yesterday that will be put outdoors when the time comes. Thoughts on using 100 gal fabric pots instead of in ground beds? First outdoor grow.

@Blew Hiller grows Cannabis trees in his greenhouse. He will have good thoughts on container type and size.
Just wanted to let you guys on PEI know that I was in to Grow Daddy's in Stratford yesterday. The guys were really knowledgable and helpful. Good selection of stock and ready to answer any questions

The law in NS says the plants have to be hidden from public view. I don't think the the new law says you absolutely can't grow outdoors, the plants just have to be hidden somewhat. If you have a back yard with a nice high fence, or you're growing way out in the middle of nowhere, you're probably safe. That's assuming you're within the 4 plant limit.

Hey bro, I'm a caper too.
I do lettuce, spinach, carrots, etc in my outdoor garden. I always wait until July 1 now before moving everything outside. I start everything indoors usually in May or June and then transplant outside once there's zero risk of frost. There were a couple years where we had frost in late June and everything got wiped out.

Trying to get a few good days to get the girls hardened is like trying to pull hens teeth in N.B. it has been miserable, then you have the days where the weather people couldn't forecast a dark night.

Bud rot is bad in N.B for sure especially with the rain.
