| Jerry the difference between your FL growing and growing something inside, in a window or under artificial light is the reason your plants grow better and faster for you. It is the number of growing days permitted by higher light intensity for a much longer period of time.
Will the plants grow and bloom under the conditions in the north - yes but at a much slower rate. Will they grow better in south Florida - yes, because even with your rain, the sun, light and temps are better for many months, not just a couple of months each summer.
Just tell your plants with the fungus and bacteria and mushrooms it is the rainy season just like their natural habitat. Throw them in a non-organic media and welcome the change of not having to water them :>)
