    Help selecting seed for hot and humid conditions

    Hello All: Been a while since I've been here, hope everyone is keeping well. My last grow with Super Skunk was a bust. Everything went well into final phase of flowering, than the humidity went crazy and the whole grow got Botrytis. Every outdoor grower I know, regardless of the type of plant, experienced the same thing.
    Weather here in Missouri has changed, historic patterns can't be counted on, which I imagine can be said for all outdoor growers.
    I've researched mold resistant species, but most can't tolerate the 100* F summers we're having.
    What I need are some choices that can thrive in hot and humid environment's, preferably from someone that's grown in those conditions. Thanks & Happy Holidays !!

    We've had 4 seasons of mold here for outdoor growers across all strains.

    I'd say go heavy sativa for that and cross your fingers.

      I am not an outdoor grower, but I have a lot of difficulty in controlling heat and humidity during warm months. The garage my tent is in can easily get upwards of 90+ degrees for weeks with very high humidity. I have taken to growing sativa forward strains such as the various haze strains. Citrus Sap does well in these conditions. Look for strains developed for tropical conditions.
      Current Grow: 1 GG4, 2 Hot Cakes, 1 Sweet Gelato Autos
      3 gallon cloth pots
      30"x30"x60" tent
      Spider Farmer SE3000
      Coco Pearlite mix
      GH Trio, Silica, Cal-Mag

        I might have something you would be interested in, maybe an Afghan landrace,g2f hooked me up and I'd be happy to pay it forward

          you might want to consider a strain with thai. Also fluffy buds that will breath and not dense buds that will tend to be vulnerable to mold.

          You did not mention where you are, because those strains you are considering will have a really long grow to finish.

          Maybe some type of canopy that diffuses the light a bit.

          Looks like Nebula has already done a little home work for you..

          by Nebula Haze Some Cannabis Strains Can Handle the Heat Every cannabis strain is different when it comes to temperature. Some strains of marijuana are easily stressed by heat, while other strains would thrive in the exact same hot environment or even prefer it. Cannabis genetics that come from a cold climate tend to be...
