If your not worried about plant numbers, & your talking about starting now, this is what I'd do:
Get as many 25gl smart pots as you can fit inside & still get around. Probably 20-25. Get good clones. Put them in your best soil mix in the greenhouse & hang some shop lights over them. Keep them on 18/6 until they hit about 24"-36" & pull the lights out. You could get 6-10 lbs this season depending on strain. Next year start sooner outside.

Edit: Caterpillers were the original reason for my greenhouse. I don't have caterpillers now!

Look into fast flowering outdoor strains, "Time Warp" is the first thing that comes to mind, also a few Master Kush and Trainwreck varieties. You need something that is fast flowering and mold resistant. I was not to far from San Diego last night, and even with the defrosters on full blast, I couldn't keep my windshield from fogging up it was so humid down there. Not even rolling up all my windows could get it to stop, and by the time I got out of there I was just soaked. I believe most Skunk crosses are going to be mold resistant, and easy on beginners.
On that note, was how the humidity up there last night jj? Like I just said, it was fucking brutal down here.

What Causes Mold to Grow
In order to begin growing mold requires three things: spores, moisture and an organic food source. All fungi produce spores in order to reproduce, and since fungi (molds, yeasts) have been around for millions of years, there are always mold spores floating around in the air – indoor and outdoor, regardless of efforts to be rid of them. Mold spores can never be eradicated in their entirety from any area, and since they're microscopic, they can travel anywhere with very little support from their environment. Like dust, mold spores are all around us. With this in mind, your best chance of prohibiting mold growth is through the control of moisture.
Where can mold grow?
Fungi can grow on anything that's living or was once living. When mold spores find a source of moisture they absorb as much of it as they can, swell to many times their original size, and begin to sprout root structures. Given enough moisture and time, mold can eat away at a house until it's no longer structurally sound. Mold can grow in nearly any environment. Some molds can withstand extreme heat and cold, and though most molds grow best in humid climate, some molds, known as dry rot, can grow well in low humidity. Mold
can even grow inside human beings and animals.
Im not 100% sure and im not trying to argue ive just found a bunch of info through google. I originally read mold can grow in low humidity in "marijuana horticulture the indoor/outdoor bible" by jorge cervantes

and no bs ive had powdery show up in my room before I had it super dialed in and the humidity was super low like 15% and sometimes it wouldnt even register on my thermometer b.c it was that low.

It's not fair! That's why I will never be able to grow giants like you guys without some crazy pruning and disease control. I don't know if it's even plausible where I live to attempt it. The largest plants i grew in San Diego were in 25 gal containers and only got about 3 or 4 ft tall above the soil line, I bushed them out and manicured the best I could to prevent mold, and got a healthy harvest. The area I am in now is even more unforgivable at 5800ft up! Good thing I am loaded up on the high quality genetics now

If I told you the truth, it would just blow it for you guy's, so I'll keep that to myself. Let's just say I serve a hell of a french-toast-in-bed!
Haven't tried any Medijuana yet Hodge, you up for some company?
When I first put the plants out, the lights came on at 3:00am
Dodgers? = They don't need any comment from me right now, they are doing just fine on their own! Besides, I thought you lived above the Giants-Dodger line, at Fresno!
peace

P.S. The truth is I was born & raised in LA in the 50's-60's when the Dodgers first moved to LA. I went to many many games out at Chavez Ravine. Summer was lay'n at the beach & Vin Scully on the radio. But I've lived in NorCal for over 30 years now & my wife grew up in SF!

The downfall of living by the beach. My humidity stays between 60-80% most of the time.
Beat LA!

I grew up in Hacienda Heights, went to Los Altos High school, and played Little League 8-12 years old (Pony-Colt after that). Every year the Dodgers had a night dedicated to Little League organizations through out the southland....Little League night. We were very poor, so it was a great treat to attend a BIG LEAGUE GAME! Dad never took me....If I told you the truth, it would just blow it for you guy's, so I'll keep that to myself. Let's just say I serve a hell of a french-toast-in-bed!

That was in the Dodgers "hay day" so becoming a fan was a no brainer.
Truth is free agency ruined the game for the fans, and me. When I was a kid I could tell you every player on the Dodgers/Raiders roster. Now, I know just a handful of players, not like the old days. Showing my age now....lol.
Go Dodgers!

Vin Scully...... I think he's dead, Disney just "automated" him. Can't imagine listening to a Dodger game without Vin!
