Early finishing strains at 37 N , sativa dominant .

[scourouhi]

I need help deciding what stain to buy for a medium scale commercial cultivation .
It has to be fem , high potency ,sativa dominant ,early finishing hybrid . The plan is to plant the seeds as early as February ,straight up in the mountain woods ( alt 1000+ meters ),under the protection of a DIY greenhouse for the 2-3 first months .
Early September harvest is of need because botrytis and wild boar hunters are a pain in the ass .
The location is at south Greece ,mild Winters and sunny days .
Any input would be much appreciated .

Check out Serious 6, also First Sativa is early but no fems...

Thanks a lot for the input Zefy . I think i will go with seeds from Hybrids From Hell .Guerilla Gold ,Danish Gold and the whole bunch . They are regular . The breeder told me that if i seed the seeds at 15 of March ,the trees are going to be mature at 01 August . These are wonderful news .Breeder Esben says there were successful cultivation's of his seeds in Italy and Spain . I am very optimistic about this project . If it is doable to harvest at 01 August ,then i am the king of the mountain .
Does anyone have any experience with HFH ? Grow reports are limited and not even one from Mediterranean climates .

I grew a few different HFH strains at 46 degrees this year. Monk, Danish Gold, and Super07 all finished end of August/early September. Polish Demon finished late September/early October.

Obviously, all of the above will finish earlier where you are.

I would give Leb27S a look too. I've read good things.

37 N south Greece you should be able to grow better sativa dominant strains than serious 6 or danish strains i think. they are not high potency strains and beginning the serious 6 early like you planning to do will lead you to many problems https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=306829

You should take a look at bangi haze fems from ace seeds, its an F9 inbred line of african and nepalese with energetic effect and spicy aroma taste, it has a very good reputation. it has been bred outdoor close to the same latitude where you are, high mold resistant, high potency and is homogenous too so lots of good traits but harvest is late september beginning of october.

You should forget the greenhouse if security is a concern and begin later when the weather is good enough to plant without greenhouse. if possible you can start your seeds indoor and plant them outdoor when they are 1 feet tall.

how many plants do you want to grow ? have you access to water easily ? will you make some soil amendment ?

Thanks for the info BigNoise . I hope mine would be earlier and more potent ,due to our Sun . Are you pleased with the potency ?

Hi Gizmo ! I personally live at 36N , 37 N is the location of my brothers . They had a major botrytis problem this past season and lost 70 % of bud , damaged the remaining too . And i mean 70 kg out of 100 kg .
Thats why they asked me to research and find early strains . They know a lot about guerilla growing in large numbers but they don't even know how to operate a PC . That's why they asked me to research . Target is 100 kg ,always is .

Esben is offering me a great price .About 780 seeds for just 560 euros . Yes we are going to plant in big numbers and discard any unworthy candidates .

I have the highest respect for Ace . My plans for next year include Zamaldelica ,Malawi x PCK , Malawi x Panama ,Ace mix and a lot of ErdPurts . As a matter of fact ,i already have 2 Malawi x Panama and 4 ErdPurts at the age of 24 days and 2-3 Satori x ( Malawi x PCK) .

ok you seems to have made your choice already and its true that 780 regular seeds for 560 is a great price so good luck with HFH seeds, if you can, share a few pics when you grow, 780 plants is a lot to grow so be careful, it should be fun to run these numbers.

 

[scourouhi]

Yes ,we are going to plant big numbers of seeds .After male disposal and elimination of the weak ,we are going to deal with about 300 females for a target of 100 Kg dry product .
Has been done again in the past with other stains ,we know the way . Up on the mountains ,totally guerilla ,on the spot germination ,local topsoil ,no chemicals . Camping on site when necessary to have the job done .
No grow report i'm affraid . No cellphones and no camera on site is a rule .
I'll post an update when all ends and the product is away .

You should breed your own seeds! It's gonna take a while, but for such a big projects it's better to have acclimatized plants, also giving >500€ for seeds is a lot. Or if you have any connection in Albania you can get acclimatized seed stock there...

 

[strandloper]

Durban poison can usually be pulled by mid September with seeds started at the end of May

 

[ceausescu]

Delahaze maybe.....
