I know this forum isn't very frequented, but I'm going to give this a shot anyway.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good outdoor summer producer up here? I'm thinking next May I want to put a little patch on the side of a mountain and forget about it for a while, so I figured I'd see if anyone had success with any particular strains for the summer, and when they finally started flowering (Mid August I'm guessing?)
In Alaska, a greenhouse is the way to go. Even a crappy hoop-house made of PVC and plastic sheeting. You can then force-flower earlier by using darkening cloth at night to give 12/12 earlier and beat the frosts.
Or go with an autoflowering strain.
This is a cultivation question... search the 'strains and seeds' section and look for lowryder and matanuska strains.
I figured that might be the case, I suppose it wouldn't be too much more trouble to haul a few rails of PVC and some plastic sheeting up the hill.
I've heard too many bad things about the auto-flowering and lowryder strains, and I have a really hard time believing anyone claiming Matanuska genetics so I just figured I'd throw this out there and see what comes up.
You are correct in being nervous about those. The AMVTF thread a dn the 'what the heck is wrong with lowryder' threads in strains are a good source of info.Quote:
