YYC is airport I.D. code for Calgary. 😁

Not sure. I've been trying to figure out where that would stand for. Since I can't, I assume I'm not. I'm in the prairie and badlands side of the state.

I would check out the big buddha seeds they have some really good strains. Their most impressive is an auto strain they say will grow to 5 feet outdoors I think it's called magnum buddha. If I could grow outdoors I would have to try to grow a couple of em.

Unless one has room for a "Forever Bud"

Cafe racer is a new strain I saw claims thc is over 30%

I really like my chemdawg#4 (blimburn seeds).

BB #3 is one of the newer strains I’ve grown (photo not auto) and it’s no joke. Definitely high THC in that strain. Super easy grow too

[Canuck147]

Grow autoflowers and you can grow many varieties at the same time. Strong - Bruce Banner #3 upwards of 28% THC

Hello where i live is rather short growing season also. I've grown out doors small and large varieties over the past 30+yrs here. I try and not grow sativa dominant strains only do to the time it takes for them to amber in the fall here. I try an grow more indica strains and now i'm very much into auto flowers outdoors an indoors. I am growing outdoors now in no bigger than 15gal. with my indicas mostly 10gal. I don't grow huge trees anymore i can't lift or move them like i use to. I look at what the time is from the seed producer on how long it flowers an give it 2 more wks. I got a shelter logic green house for getting them hardened off.

Far too many new strains to choose from you can spend hours. I go by the effect we want and how long it takes. Have fun and good luck

If want a good sativa you may want to look at Kali Mist from Serious Seeds. She has been called the Queen Sativa for a good reason. Check their website, They have a few strains but in my humble opinion why they won so many awards.... By the way I'm an old grower and growing for God knows lolll Right now I'm growing Mazar Kush from WOS, Kali China from Ace and Kali 47 from Advance Seeds.

I’ve grown for years but didn’t actually order seeds until last February for the first time. I went by GWE’s advice and stuck mostly to well known, award winning strains. Mostly HOF strains. Those genes are proven and sustainable. There’s a article on the main GWE site that covers it if you go there and search. Nebula makes some good points about why not to grow all the newer strains they create daily for the best success.

I’ll add this. I’m vegging two Hindu Kush now that’s a landtrace strain and I’m not sure if it’s just by chance or a real indication of her point but damn! These are super healthy, robust plants and they’ve been like that since day one. If it’s actually the thousands of years worth of pure genetics causing it or not I’m not sure.

Until the last election I haven't smoked in 20+ years. Now I'm half way through my first indoor grow of two Amnesia Haze plants. I'm planning to grow 4 plants outdoors this summer and want to try as many strains as I can. I may even do another indoor grow at the same time to hedge my bets and add variety. But like a kid on their first visit to a candy store, I'm having a heck of a time picking what strains I want to grow. I'm thinking I should at least do one Amnesia Haze pant, just to compare it to the indoor grow. I also have Sour Diesel seeds. I was thinking maybe a Durban Poison, just to try a 100% Sativa, but it looks like it's better suited for an indoor tent. So, I guess I still have room for 2 more strains in the outdoor garden. I'm looking for extreme opposites if possible. Want a 'mind melting psychedelic' on one end and a 'motivated to clean the house' on the other end if possible.

In Big Sky Country, so we have a shorter season than most places to the south, but we have HOT, dry summers. Any suggestions for my second grow, and first outdoor grow?
