I live in Alaska and have quite a bit of room to grow( the whole forest!) Can anyone give out tips for cold short seasons? I'm planning to grow several indica strains and breeding with a pure auto flowering, and ruderalis indica.

COLD FRAMES. Helps early season if you can't veg indoors and late season to give longer finishers time to do their thing.

I got the seed from old school breeders association mixed pack for 25 bucks. They said GDP was the most prevalent strain in there. I hope it would be the real deal GDP. Probly some cross of it or f2s though.

That's a badass baby!

I've run GDP in my setup, I was not impressed. I've found that environment makes a big difference so don't be discouraged by my experience.

What was your review of GDP?

Took forever to grow, cuz I grow them 6' tall. It didn't smell super awesome- not a big deal to me, but it's an indicator. It was a heavy indica, but I didn't really get the heavy high from it. Didn't yield well. I just was not impressed all the way around- but then, I live in Colorado and I do realize I'm drowning in premium cuts here compared to most other places.

On another thread there was a dude talking about germination techniques. He mentioned that sometimes seeds that he had tossed out the door in autumn germed and broke through the snow in spring!

Grow indoors till mid veg then move outdoors to take advantage of the longer summer days

seed selection is vital to any further grows in temperate climates

take a look at viking seeds in Scandinavia

good luck
