Growing outrood cold northern Canada

[jozomotika]

Hello guys this summer i will try to grow outdoor in Alberta.My biggest concern is weather of course.Earliest i can put outside is June 1st.It has to be done until September 20 max.Sometimes there is already frost start kicking in early September but it hope can survive about 1-2weeks on +5 going near 0. I will start indoor in may and put outside in June 1st.But the problem is that days in July are just too long...Sunrise is as early as 4:30am and Sunset is at 10pm...No joking last year i remember 1 day at 11pm you could still see a edge of sun...so basically in July i have only 6-7hours of darkness...For this Skunk i need 50days to flower so If it doesent start to flower until July 15 an am fucked.So i am wondering am i just wasting the seeds or it will start to flower anyway without 12hours of dark?

You could force flower them will a tarp or something but if not you may want to consider autoflowers. I personally dont like em but they may suit your timeframe better.
Depends if they will be in an area that is easily accesible

Thanks for advice but i hate autoflowers i have totally bad experience with them...To be more precise with yield.They yield between 10-40grams mostly i dont need that i am growing to make oil well for oil i need at least 100-200g on plant i am planing to plant about 10plants.I will start in april inside than and put outside in june (i hop they will be at least 2-3foot when i plant outside) and i will hope that they will finish...

I was thinking the same thing kinda but he could pull a tarp over a frame to give the dark it needs. But I have no idea how much he`s growing. Without a portable green house I can`t really see growing outside any kind of quality. A 30x40 tarp is ten up, ten across ten down and flap over the ends on a frame, and will make dark at will.

Ive had mine outside way before June 1st, earliest would of been end of march you may have to bring them in some nights or shelter from the weather but its possible. definitly mold resistant plants are best..and obviously ones that finish quick and veg quick.

And fuck autos totally..grown many strains & types of beans outside and never had issues with insects until i grew an auto and they were all over that son of a bitch , every bud coated in black bugs when i harvested...i didnt see them as they were growing and my others were fine and dryed in same spot.
