What is the best strain for guerrilla growing in climates similar to the UK's

What strain is the best for outdoor strain for a guerilla grow in the North East UK? The average summer day temperature is 20°C and average night temperature is 11°C hopefully this gives you an idea on what strain I should get. Also what's better for a guerilla grow? Feminized or autoflowering?

Have a look at the Erdpurt from Ace, they do feminised and regular. Apparently it's been tested in rainy northern Spain and does well.
Sounds like it will be indica dominant for you, although you might get lucky with a couple of the Original Delicatessen sativa hybrids (9 weeks flowering is apparently not unheard of).
Pretty much my only port of call for seeds is www.aceseeds.org , they stock theirs, Cannabiogen and Original Delicatessen so you should be able to find something there.
Good luck :)

Cheese is good outside in the UK fella. I've done 2 and had no rot or anything,chopped at beginning of November. Also I've had bubblegum from thseeds do ok outside. I used to hear of a plants called biddy early or something like that. It's mentioned to be perfect for England/UK.

Biddy Early is our outdoor variety especially developed by Gerrit from Magus Genetics for the Dutch humid and cold climate. This strain is now already one of the best ever for the northern countries of Western Europe. It can easily grow to two meters of height in a normal outdoor season. Its relatively early finishing time combined with a very good resistance against molds make it very suitable for outdoor grows in the Dutch and similar northern climates. This very easy to grow plant is perfect for the novice and inexperienced grower and therefore our “Startersmodel”. We keep the price of this variety extra low to give beginners and people with smaller budgets the chance to also grow a strain of Serious quality. Most plants will show red and purple colorations under low temperatures. The Biddy Early also gives great results indoors, but keeping motherplants in a vegetative state is a little bit difficult because of its willingness to start flowering. The aroma of this plant is a mix of an unfamiliar earthy scent with a sweet candy taste which gives a surprisingly pleasant and powerful high. In 2003 Biddy Early has won the second place in the category “Best Sativa” at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. Biddy Early won this award as the only outdoor-bud in this category, competing against solemnly indoor-buds. This proves the extraordinary quality of this strain. Some people even claimed it was the best cannabis they ever smoked.

Autos more than regular, as Baron says, Erdpurt is good, Hollands Hoop does OK, but neither are really yielding top quality dank. Still, way better than buying crap

Breeder Brad and other Canadians are the real specialists in cold north growing, texada timewarp and her crosses

Autos FTW though. The UK can be dry almost all Autumn, probably more in the South, but you can aslo have Arctic shit all through "Summer" so, don't put all your eggs in one basket, calendar or genetic. Mix up varieties and planting times, take photos as records of what you do so you can learn later.

A well grown auto can easily be better than an average grown elite. 5 years ago many friends preferred my Auto Black Domina (kannabia) over ACE Panama, both grown to maturity and at their best OD representation. Left to smoke both for a bit longer, some would have changed their preference to the Panama, but the point being was that nobody was dissing the flowers because "it is just an auto"

I've never done that well with autos. Best yield from a single plant was 21g the worst was a little over 7g. Ain't grown a auto in years because of this. Although this year I won some autos and after giving some out to friends I only had one left so I've got it in some soil in the window.
I know I won't get much from this one because I'm gonna put it outside early this year.
It's an incredible bulk auto from Dr krippling

Nepalese indica pheno from mandala satori.

last year was no sun, all dreary rainy days during flowering. good-great sweet fruity taste, good resin, strong strong potent stone effects. couch lock high if that's your thang.
very very hardy. only strain as hardy from my experience is Malawi. planted early comes in September for me. I run a satori indica dom hybrid dr.gt phz/Nepalese indica as pictured below. those are lightly hand formed outdoor grown buds.

Maxi autos were giving over 200g several years ago, getting he start right is critical for all of them, but it is not hard to achieve... just don't skimp or fudge bits and expect target yields

When I do autos it's only in the backyard,I've heard of good yields but never managed it myself.

They are really sensitive to any setbacks whatsoever in the first weeks, more so than any regs, that is the secret with them imo
