Good afternoon.

I want to start a summer crop outdoors at 29°N... I live in a mid-mountain area with an abundance of fog and light rain, especially in September - October, with a high risk of botryris at the end of flowering....

I have tried durban in previous years, obtaining acceptable results, although there is always some botrytis problem...

Any recommendations on varieties highly resistant to botrytis so as not to have problems?

Would a sativa like Kibungan be recommended, which can withstand a very humid autumn with temperatures between 12-23°C until it fully blooms?

It is interesting that they are varieties with powerful effects.

I appreciate any appreciation or recommendation.
Hello friend, that's a good question. Many conditions are conducive to mold. It's very important to have a good growing environment because mold is preventable. Sometimes just amending the soil with lime can help the growing conditions of the plants.

I always send a soil sample to the soil testing lab to see what I need in new areas. A good soil test will cost about $30 from the local university.

Botrytis is a weakness-inducing parasite that germinates on weak, damaged, or dead plant materials, in conditions of high humidity (94% or more). Calcium is an element that makes the plant sturdier, which conversely makes Botrytis less likely to develop. Google

You have some bronzing on the top of the plant. Looks a little like fertilizer burn to me, but I could be wrong without testing the leachate.

Try putting a thermometer on top of the substrate during the hottest part of the day and see how hot those containers get. You must live in a cool climate to allow open containers in full Sun.
