Best Strains for Colo at 7,000 ft

[GodofGraphics]

I just recently shut down a 2 year grow because of frustration. I am giving my self a break. I want to restart this spring and was wondering what would the best, easiest strains be to grow at 7,000 ft in Colorado. I have a 400 watt set up and have had good success with Bannana, Lemon kush, TW and NL. Other strains that were more Sativa I struggled with. I dealt with mites till my eyes bled. I use GH Flora in Sunshine #4 and for the most part, have had good success with yields averaging 4 ounces per plant.

I want to grow 3 headies and 3 body plants... a nice mix of 3 different strains?

Here is a pic of what I got from a Banana Kush - this pic is only the top 1.5 inches of the top cola... cola dried out to 1 1/2 oz.

Can I do better with more aclamated strains - ones that really like the elevation and environment? I want easy to grow, heavy yeilds, desease and bug resistant. (does Azamax do anything?)
Any advice is welcome... thanks

Don't know for sure but might want to check out Centennial Seeds. People have been having great success with their seeds.

I'm at 6800 feet and had excellent results with dutch purple passion both inside and out. Good yield, hearty and was able to fight off the mites indoors with neem and hotshot no pest strips. lots of compliments on this strain, pungent, sweet with nice dense buds. my blue berry rocked outdoors this summer and the TW, which is my main strain, turned out solid.

I was growing at around 6000' this summer. Two strains that did especially well were Purple Nepal, a strain called Rita Monk that I got from a local grower and Mt. Everest Skunk. I don't think Mt. Everest Skunk can be acquired anymore since it is a strain that was offered by the hated BC Seeds company who has now disappeared, but it really did well at altitude and when grown in dirt outdoors and created consistent 1/2 kilo yields.

If you are growing indoors I don't think the altitude makes any difference.

I think altitude would only be a consideration if you are growing outdoors.

I grow indoors and I never have a mite problem, except one time. I clean my space in between crops and keep everything clean. If you take a break during the summer that helps a lot, plus you don't have to run any a/c.

I grew some killer weed with 400 watt, its really important to keep the light close to the bud and use a full spectrum bulb. That will get the trichomes nice and filled in/milky white.

If the light is too far away from the bud or shaded a lot, you will end up with a lot of clear head trichomes that don't get filled in.

My understanding is that the trichome structures form at dark, then when the light hits them they fill in.

A good ppm/ph pen helped me dial in my conditions a lot, plus a pocket microscope. I grow in soil.

Try a good hybrid, maybe JACK HERER.
