Help Me Find The Right Strain For My Outdoor Grow

[Delta.9]

I'm looking to buy some seeds online for an outdoor grow. I am looking for a Sativa that is hearty and pest resistant (for outdoor grow). I want a clear high rather than stoney. Something where I could go into work (I do marketing) and function. I have ADD and when I smoke strains like the one(s) I'm trying to explain, I think a lot clearer. Self-medicating FTW!!! :D

Links to the seeds would be even better! :thumbsup:

You should give info on your grow climate. I'm moving this to 'outdoor' growing. With no additional info, Island Sweet Skunk (currently available through Federation seed) is a distinct possibility.
Please no hot-links to vendors, thanks.

Sorry, was just logging on to add climate info! I'm in so-cal (hot and dry) so the strain needs to be heat resistant.

mandala seeds are created from Indian landrace strains which gives them the ability to withstand high temperatures

Trainwreck does great outdoors in Cali, but avoid the Greenhouse Seeds version until they work the hermi problems out of the line. You can get TW clones at dispensaries.

Will TW clones grow (well) outdoors even if they were started indoors?

[stinkyattic]

Starting a plant indoors doesn't make it less hardy outdoors- no worries there. All you need to do is make sure that the temperature change isn't a shock. So if it gets very cold at night, put them out in a cold-frame for a week before transplant to an unprotected location. If it is hot and dry, make sure they get plenty of water while the root system is developing. A light mist of a leaf-shine product helps keep water loss at a minimum during that time.

Cool, that opens up some possible options! TW is actually one of my favs. :D

What is a leaf-shine product?

[stinkyattic]

I use SMC for a leaf shine, it's coriander oil. Neem oil applied lightly also adds gloss and pest resistance. Wilt pruf slows water loss but does not deter pests.

[Delta.9]

Cool, I actually have some neem oil laying around...somewhere. ;)

I ended up buying Satori and Sadhu (Mandala seeds) from Willy Banjo. I'll let ya'll know how it goes!

Thanks for the help.

just make sure it isnt a highly resinous strain. if the humiditys to hiigh in flowering or if it rains on the plant in this stage your fucked. BUT ROT IS THE WORST.

[Delta.9]

Well, WB doesn't ship to the US, so I bought the same strains from another shop. Will keep ya posted!

junkboxer, it doesn't really get humid where I live or rain much for that matter. ;) Thanks for the heads up tho

[Delta.9]

Seeds arrived today! :thumbsup::clap::420thought: They came in a sealed DVD case and all were in tact and looked great! Wish I knew where I ordered em from so I could share the wealth If ya'll want me to try and dig up the link I'll look, but I'm too lazy right now. ;)
