keeping temp under 70 but above 65 will not harm the plant and prevent the oils it produces from giving off such a potent smell. works great for me in the basement.
it all bepends on the temparment you are looking for in a dog. i hav a doberman, lab rot mix and a husky rot mix all thre different in personality and temper. check out this site if you wanna do any research. www.dogbreedinfo.com/
auto flowering plants are designed to flower when they hit a certain hiegth regardless of light cycle so as long as the light is given off the right spectrum you should be good. my buddies and i generally use the autoflower out doors as a fire and forget, come back 60-80 days later and harvest.
