    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.

    Veg Cupboards: ​​​​​​Two 4x2x6H cupboards. SF2000 Evo in one SF7000 in other. Climate controlled and automated. Hand watering
    Aeroponics Low Pressure Bucket: 20W LED. 5 clones & 20W LED 11 clones
    Lights: Mars Hydro FC-E1200W, SF-7000, SF-2000 evo in flower room.
    Medium: Coco/perlite, 7.2gal pots, no drains
    Current Grow: ​​​5 x Photos Franklin's Orange Zkittles x Sour Diesel in flower room, 3 Franklin's White Widow x Sour Diesel Clones, 13 x Orange ZkittleZ x Sour Diesel clones in Aeroponics buckets x 2.

      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

          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...

            Happy Thanksgiving, and I appreciate the input. I've been growing Skunk for ages. They handled heat nicely, but the monster tight buds couldn't cope with the humidity we're experiencing now in SW Missouri. Fall always meant mild temps and low humidity, but no more. I also practice conventional agriculture and what was normal isn't anymore. Like everything else it's boom or bust. Yes Gator, I'd be interested .Happy Trails

              I have seeds from a strain called Tashakor and some seeds from the Tashakor and peach hash plant, the seeds were sent to me by a friend who was in Afghanistan in the military, the Tashakor and peach hash plant were crossed here in the US 😁

                      Only plants I've had luck with here in the mid Atlantic Coast has been g13 haze from Barney's farm and snowcaine from 20/20 Mendocino. Oh and some super sticky bag seed that I believe is gg4. Everything else the buds got to right and rot got them.

                          Might be worth looking into Twenty20’s new line up of early finishers. Hybridized earlies. If planted by June, they will finish in late August-mid September depending on cultivar. I have some for next season. T20 has a lot of focus on outdoor mold and mildew resistant plants. Their Humboldt Afgani is the only plant I’ve grown outdoors and gotten a full harvest and no mold.
