Fast flowering sativa??

Try the Cannalope Haze bro... real haze taste & effect, in only 10 weeks flowering time... :woohoo:

I agree 100%. Excellent plant for outdoors for the area around Toronto. Worked great last year and hoping to do them again. Mine was from DNA Genetics and turned out very heady at first merging into a nice mixed body/head high.

I second (or third or what) Durban Poison.
I've grown Nirvana's Durban which is Durban x Skunk. At 44 degrees north it started flowering the second week of August and was ready on 26th of September. Very speedy and trippy high, more sativa than any 50%-Haze hybrid that is ready in the beginning or middle of October. Nirvana don't offer Durban x Skunk anymore but Urban Poison, which is Durban x (Durban x NL).

Exactly what I was looking for!

Check out Tanska seeds Nepal and Thyphoon, very early sativa's, bred in Denmark.
Breeder LBH has auto flowering haze.

Hi!

If someone could point me toward a 80-100% sativa strain which would start flowering early AND is not overly photosensitive I would be deeply grateful.



:plant grow:

I was thinking about this a lil, you want something with a low photosensitivity so that a short night will trigger flowering since a plant with a higher photosensitivity's life cycle is more closely dependent on the day and night cycles and requires a near 12/12 to flower.
Whereas the converse, a plant with an extreme low photosensitivity has little to no care as to the day night cycle and flowers at predetermined time, and there's indica which is kind of in between with a medium photosensitivity, since as once the uninterrupted dark period (night) reaches 8 and 1/2 to 9 and 1/2 hours most indica dominant varieties will be well into their flowering phase.
Well Sativas are naturally selected for a high photosensitivity, In fact as per DJ' Short's book we can select and breed for Sativa dominance a in strain simply by creating a more equatorial light cycle which actively and automatically selects for high photosensitivity by making all those with low photosensitivity auto flower and miss their pollination window with the keeper Sativa phenotypes or by simply being culled from the (breeding or growing/selecting keeper) program by human intervention.
so that was the long way around saying what ur asking for is sort of a contradiction you can't have a sat with a low photo without mixing in auto flower genes, then its not really a sat nor is it even photosensitive at all you get no real natural veg time. i have a suggestion though, cause what you want is something that will start flowering in time for your short season, flower fast enough, and be able to handle tough wet cold weather, right?

Edit: my stupid comp keeps changing sativa to saliva or sat iva so i have to go back a hundred times to change it back, indic a too <<see

EDIT: ACE seed's this is dubi's description copy n pasted
Erdpurt Description
GENETICS

Erdbeer x Purpurea Ticinensis. Stabilized hybrid
DESCRIPTION

Classic Swiss genetics designed for northern outdoors and greenhouse, but
does well indoor aswell and produces nice in southern parts also.
Sometimes shows semi auto traits grown under 45N lat. this means for you at 61* it won't auto but it has a low photosensitivity to make it begin flowering fast


STRUCTURE

Very hardy plant, will never fall for winds or bad weather. Very resistant
to disease and molds. Multi coloured leafs, steems and buds.
Very
ornamental.


BOUQUET

Strong smeller with earthy undertones, likes a good long cure. Fresh roast
coffee and strawberryblackberry pie smoke fragrances.

HIGH

Strong relaxedcreative indica with medical potentials


GROWING TIPS

Indoor/outdoor. All climates(autos around equator)

Grown under very
humid conditions its surgested to prevent mold from using organic products
like Amistar after descriptions

Highly recommended for cold and humid
outdoor. Take some days with lower frost temps without damage.


I honestly think something this would be your best bet. but your the one that knows your environment best so do your homework and good luck, this strain is at the boutique right now by the way and really turns some nice colors on top of everything.

peace,
Infi

Power Plant was good for me but Chocolope was better on every level especially flowering time. I think all of my chocolope was done a full month before power plant, yielded more and tasted better. High's are comparable, PP would get a lot higher marks from me if the smell carried over in the taste and it yielded more

Power Plant is mostly sativa, South African genetics, strong yield, and 8 week maturity.

High's are comparable, PP would get a lot higher marks from me if the smell carried over in the taste and it yielded more
power plant like 90% Sativa is fast sure but its photosensitivity would be too high because its an equatorial variety and therefore at 61* north i doubt it would have 8 weeks before the harsh weather comes since flowering will be delayed due to his photoperiod that far north. Plus it may flower in 8 weeks indoor but outdoors the change in light is gradual and progressive and therefore the budding cycle is also elongated.

Chocolope 95% Sativa is a (mexican Sativa x haze) x chocolate thai and has the same issue as power plant indoors it flowers fast sure, and even some phenotypes could grow really well at lower latitudes outdoor but where he's at i don't think it would turn out that great, I know some peoples standards for what they deem high quality is different. so to each there own but to get the highest quality he'll need to compromise some on the Sativa ratio, and i'd rather have some Indica in there than some rudy. thats just me though

peace,

^^ That. It's gonna be mostly about photosensitivity at 61N, and not so much about 8wk vs 10wk flowering times. The OP might want to google 'royal canadian marijuana collective'
several of the breeders there have been working with extremely photosensitive (some of which can be kept in veg indoors but start flowering basically as soon as they are put outside, and some are sativa dom). Like has been said, growing successfully in that environment is all about compromise. You can want a classic Thai sativa dom all you want, but your chances of bringing it in successfully in that climate are a crap shoot at best IMO.

The GN09 C99 F2s on the boo/bay finish fast and yield well. I like to take them at day 60 for a more mellow, yet still very "up" high.

My first run (new years grow) they were flipped to flower 2 weeks from seed, were never topped, and grown in a small cab in a water only organic mix. Best plant yielded almost 2 ounces dry of strong, fruity smelling, deliciously euphoric herb. Well worth the price imho.

*didn't see that this would be outdoor at 61*N. Probably not your best bet.*

Thanks for all the answers, and sorry for not contributing for such a long time!

It seems that the Danish genetics are pretty much the way to go..

Thyphoon and Tanska's Nepal are supposedly mostly sativa (~70+%) and are suitable for the northern growers.

I grew some Royal Nepal (Royal Dane x Nepal) this summer, its pretty much 50/50 indica-sativa, but next summer ill try the more sativa dominant strains.

Tanska's nepal is a jem, elegant sativa finishes in september (52N) with sticky foxtail buds.
It was bred in Denmark so pretty hardy.

I ran 20 femmed power plants and only one was ready early - it took 7 weeks. The rest were 9-10 with the best pheno being a massive yielding mould resistant ten weeker. Although I love my pheno I wouldn't reccomend powerplant: one keeper out of twenty is a poor return imo
