I'm in Edmonton, Alberta and I'm gonnagonna plant in my backyard as a trial run this summer. I haven't decided the strain yet. I've got about a dozen to pick from in my stash. Maybe I'll do a grow journal so that us northern folk can have an idea of the viability of an outdoor grow. I'll put updates in this thread as well. Still running my 4'x4' year round in the basement at the same time

I have a 4 different planta going outside. A pure blueberry and blue shiva from jordan of the islands along with a green crack from i dont know who. The one that i really am excited for is this strain called Gods widow that has been made from some local growers that is an excellent outdoor strain to grow on the wet coast as it finishes late sept. We started a couple plants in december and will have some monster plants. Pic is of my gods widow in a 10' greenhousereceived_439360883513624.jpeg

Pic of all 4 right after transplant. Big girls were shocked for a couple days but are doing great now. Have started tieing them down as im worried about the 10' height limit. Hope they dont stink the neighborhood up.lol. who cares though. They are hidden and 4 plants is legal. I bought them from the government if anyone asks. Lets see them prove me wrong. Growing mid vancouver island. So we will see how she goes thus summer

Glad to have found this thread as I have several questions for outdoor grow in Vancouver area. This is my first time growing outside. I have had a couple of successful indoor harvests.

The strain I'm growing is Black Diamond and I know for sure that it's a 9 week flowering plant as I had already harvested them indoor.

Do you guys do light dep? This seems to be the answer for us northern growers. It's a hassle having to pull the black tarp every day from like now until mid August when there's less than 14 hours of light.

For those who grow in a greenhouse or hoop house, do you do light dep? If you don't, can a 9 weeks plant finish without worry about mold and mildew even if the plants are sheltered within the greenhouse?

I'm about to build a hoop house this weekend because if the plants starts flowering natually in mid August, they won't finish until the end of October and it's going to be wet for sure. So, the hoop house will take care of the rain problem. However, I am wondering whether I still need to do light dep even though the plant will be sheltered. The temperature at the end of October might be a it low for cannabis plants but it won't be anything like frost.

Ive read that the dark angel is fairly good for a short flower.
I just met a guy on Vancouver Island (med patient) that grew it last year and he said it finished really well for him. Never heard of it before two weeks ago and now I have seeds and saw this as well. I believe it is a cross of Cheese and Jack Herer. Feminized from Crop King, and I NEVER thought I would buy from the Burger King's older brother...

I know I said it before but for anyone Canadian and needing a fast flowering strain. Email Mike at PeakseedsBC and ask for his c99. Both phenos finish under 56 days and stand up to molds like a champ. Plus it is a really great sativa like smoke.
Cheers :)
And again I resuscitate this thread :mrgreen: It is for good reason though and I know that @GreenHighlander has mentioned this multiple times to people that have asked and in more than one thread. I wanted to back up what he has said and thank him publicly, as you can waste entire lifetimes with this challenge.

The version of C99 offered from Mike at PeakSeedsBC, is an incredibly tough plant that I don't think can mold. I have tested the hell out of this plant both outdoors and inside and it is as mold proof as I have ever seen. I put it through extreme temperature fluctuations and seasonal ranges from close to 40C to just above freezing. Also, I'm at 50 degrees north and at 2400 ft in elevation, so they had to be grown in a greenhouse. The greenhouse was invaded by spider mites, which loved the heat and dry conditions and had no predators to keep them in check. The other plants were almost completely devastated. The mites did attack the C99, but it fared far better and finished by the end of October. The only thing I have not found yet is an individual with any kind of interesting smell or taste. They haven't been just stealthy, they are scentless. There is that slight citrus smell when disturbed, but that's it. If stealth is one of your main concerns, this has to be a candidate. The bud below is a little less dense than I think they would have been, if they hadn't become so root bound. Everything grew WAY faster than I could have even imagined, so I know for next year. They would have been over 12+ feet tall if allowed.C99-2-F_20191031_g_tn.jpg

What I don't know is how these would do in fully exposed wind and rain outside. They have long branches that I think would need support once the buds grow.

So thanks again @GreenHighlander for steering me into this version of C99. I'm not saying that it is the best, but I am saying that it has some desirable traits for outdoor growing. The end of October finish for 50 N puts it on the edge for some of us, but it keeps chugging along when it gets cooler and grows at any opportunity when it warms a little. I will keep looking for slightly better phenos and will be making crosses.

The high is as advertised, but I have not found any raciness or paranoia at all. It is fairly strong and very up, like a sunny day at the beach. Quite resinous.

I hope that others find this as interesting as me and report back with some of their successes from the 2019 season.
