It'll be fine op. I've done indoor and outdoor Open air growing in under 10% humidity. Temps can go down to 40 or so at night, and still fruit.
Although not documented I've also done outdoor monos a few years back. It was pretty good too.
Mad, Is there a specific race that would perform better than others in his temps? I'm curious about this too.

Anything local to him for sure could grow in a bed or a pot outside.
He could even attempt pan cyans or something in a tub outside if the humidity is pretty low. Pan cincts could for sure grow outside in a pot. They pretty much grow everywhere
Pretty much every cube is resilient and will grow in almost any condition if you keep it glistening with no pooling water

Originally I wanted to grow pan cyans in an outdoor bed but once I realized they were more work than cubes I decided to give them a try first before the pans. I also am hoping someone has a print they would be willing to trade for something I might already have.

outdoor tubs offer protection from pests (snails, slugs, birds) which come for the grain or the developing fruits. much safer in a tub

I'm so excited! Haha hopefully I can perfect this technique so I can try other, more demanding species.
Do you use mesh or wire of any kind over your holes to keep insects and critters from getting in or just polyfil?

just polyfill.
I have had rats climb into tubs through 1 1/2" and 2" monotub holes. I've had a total of three over a number of years.
set a trap .... snap .. no more problem. sad for the rat
 
sorry, but it is unacceptable for them to get into the tubs
 
mesh would work. just haven't used it

Aw hell no! I won't have any pests eating my fruit! There are some nosy ass opossums in my neck of the woods. I'll just have to make sure my lids are secure. I can probably retrofit my tubs with wire or mesh using silicone to secure it on the inside then stuff it with polyfil when fruiting.
