Hi Folks,
I am planning the summer grow and trying to decide which seeds to order. I don’t find the seed searches particularly useful beyond name and thc level and a few other things but not so much in other categories. I am hoping you might provide a few recommendations. Sorry about the length of the post but hoping to give some info that will guide suggestions.
In the summer I grow outdoors in my yard as well as indoors but this summer I am thinking just an outdoor grow because it becomes harder and more expensive to control the heat and I tend to travel in summer. I use an amended soil in 20 gallon cloth pots, not because I am good at preparing a nice live soil but because I am lazy and for outdoors I just mix up what I have to hand (garden soil, composted manure, vermiculite, etc). Sometime around mid-summer I will start adding liquid nutrients, depending on what I added to the pot at the start. I spend less effort ph-ing the water for outside grows but I do it sometimes. I am in the Toronto region so a nice warm summer but doesn’t last as long as some of our American friends. I start the plants indoor and try to give them an extra month that way although that is more veg time with flowering the same unless I have room to shift them inside at the end when it is getting cold. I don’t always have room because by then I am often getting ready for a fall grow. During the days they will have direct sun for much of the day but not all of it due to huge trees on neighbouring properties.
What I would like in a perfect world is genetics that will encourage a plant that is huge, has high thc, stinky, colourful, good with an outdoor grow and provides a large yield. CBD is nice but not essential. Not a lot to ask for? 🙂.
Being a touch more realistic, my order of preference for plant traits is:
-size (I want it to be huge to have fun with the outdoor setting that I can’t generally do inside - I am jealous of some of the huge desert-grown plant photos I’ve seen)
-something that will grow well outdoors and resist molds etc. (and doesn’t have a super long flowering cycle) - we get rain at times but I wouldn’t say it is a particularly wet area so molds are not a giant problem although we get our share of bugs
-high thc
-smell (any smell is fine but hoping whatever it is will be epic level stinky!)
-colour (any colour will be fine, I just like the variety and a bit of colour on the buds always looks nice)
-large yield (I assume plant size will have an impact on yield so that may be covered already)
I have been into sativas recently but I don’t consider that an essential.
Some plants that come to mind that I have already tried and liked that may (to some extent but not perfect match) meet the description are mimosa evo, pineapple chunk and liberty haze (strangely one of my indoor liberty haze plants is towering over the mimosa evo) but I wouldn’t mind something new. Northern lights grew quite well outside as you’d expect, with a nice peppery smell, but not as large as I would like. Hoping for a giant! 🙂
Hopefully you can make some seed suggestions based on your favourites that might meet the above description.
Thanks!
