I start mine inside late April then put them outside end of May or the 1st week of June. They started flowering around the end of July.

I start mine late March, put out beginning of May. Anytime before that and they would flower without additional light.

Even plants put outside or started in May can start to flower too early then reveg. Then go back into flower.This will affect final yield. June 1 to harvest is plenty of time to grow monsters, if that’s what you’re trying to do.
I put my 6week old plants outside beginning of June by August some were over 9ft and some would have been if I hadn’t bent them over.

I’m planning on growing a few plants in my raised beds this spring/summer. Usually for gardening I grow corn, okra and sweet potatoes as afternoon shade crops for my other plants. If I were to try something like that, do you think I would be alright? Or is a structor and shade cloth the only way?

Try to grow Where you get natural shade, A neighboring building, fence, wall, anything you build for shade will come down in an unplanned monsoon, breaking plants and dreams. Harden up the sprouts slowly to the sun, little bit of sun and back in the shade, do it right and most will get to Seedling stage.
After that, Full sun Baby.April to November makes a long season but Big plants.
