Watering/Feeding Outdoors

So, first grow outdoors (illegal state in South) I have several questions. But here is my set up; Living Soil with 35% Perlite, Mycorrizal, Bio Live and in 10G fabric pots (need to keep them a little smaller). I will mainly feed some organic REV, Elm Dirt Plant and Bloom Juice, Tru Organic 5-4-5 all purpose and have some Gaia Green Bloom to top dress in about 4 weeks. I am growing 4 Autos 2 Slurricanes and 2 Wurlz F1 (cheaper Genetics) for this experimental attempt. It gets warm here and the plants will be moved around by wagon chasing the sun in my yard (not big) due to the majority of my backyard being on a big slope, For the most part they will get several hours (6-7) of great sun and then some shade, then evening sun to finish out about 2 hours or so.

1) Do I need to make any cover for them for hard rains?
2) Any suggestions of anything I need to do after it rains?
3) How often to water or is it still check the soil to see if moisture is present similar to my inside grows?

Thx in Advance for any suggestions.:sleep:
 
For the rain it depends on the size of the plants, If and how they have been trained, and if they have any support like trellis netting. But yes, hard rain can flatten plants and damage them. It gets worse during flowering. The buds will hold a lot of moisture and get heavy, then the branches can't support it. Later in flower mold is also a risk with rain.

Ive had to tie up every branch after heavy rain to hold them up until the plant starts to support itself again. I try to always cover my plants now if rain is going to be heavy.

Yes, watering outside is the same as inside except you will have different environmental conditions. So if its really hot out you may need to keep the soil more moist.
