Looking for a good auto flower for outdoor in Northern climate

Any good suggestions for a good auto flower variety that will produce larger amounts and does well outdoor in northern climate / Canada ??
Trying to find something that will flower quick as this area is a fast growing seasons or frost.
So I was told do auto flowers so now it is a matter of finding some that will do well and not to difficult to grow, still new to this
Thank you

Seed Stockers - Big Bud Auto

Seed to harvest in 90 days and good yields also.

Iranian auto flower
Early maroc

Any autoflower should be okay unless you are very far north. Even then you could start seedlings indoors untill warm weather.

Any preferred time to start seeds? As in how soon before I want to move them outside should I start seeds?
Thank you for advice.

Humboldt Seed Organization recommended their Sour Diesel & Lemon Juice Express to me... I have them but have not tried them yet.

Couple of weeks before last chance of frost is when I would start them

For us June 1 is safe from there till mid October so if I start seeds do it mid may. Funny I was thinking mid April to give time to germinate a few days then get started blah blah blah etc give them a chance to veg a decent size before I kick them out. Is that wrong?

I typically start to germinate my autos on 4-20 (April 20th) which allows me to harvest by early August (about 16 weeks max for auto's)

So you need to determine which are your prime weeks/months that will give you the best weather and most sunshine.

I'm in Vancouver, so what I do may not be ideal for someone in the Yukon.

Also it's a good idea to use a few CFL bulbs or a small LED to help establish your plants in the early weeks.

I iz in da love..... LOL. Thanks for advice and pics that looks amazing. I am in MB so a wee bit East of you where prime growing starts June 1 outdoor anything sooner could be a mistake like it was for me this past year I went with May long and F**king frost got em a little so that stunted stuff. I also did not use auto's so this is new to me as is growing so I am sorry for all the stupid questions.
I do have a veg / grow led lights and they seemed to work good for what I tried last year so I am sure they will work good for starting new autos this year.

After some advice and searching I found these 2 varieties to try this year:

Jackberry from Keebek seeds

and also:

Black gold by QC seeds

I thought I would give them a try as they have great claims(Northern climates blah blah blah Canada etc cold as f88 areas short this and that) but I have no idea so here goes nothing.

Still laughing @ your 4-20 planting.. that is funny as $hit, thanks I needed that.

June & July give most sunshine then Aug it starts dropping off.
If I had it my way these turkeys should be plucked by latest end of Sept because anything after that is more then questionable as far as frost and you got squat left.

Thank you again for any advice.

BTW your plants look like they are giving the middle finger to everyone... ROFLMAO - What variety are those 2?

I ran 8 strains last summer, the first to come down was a Fast Buds Gorilla Cookies in 73 days. It showed good mold resistance, but for some reason attracted bugs that none of the others in the structure had. Odd the way some strains will do that. 55th parallel (+/-), everywhere is different (that bug might not be native to your area).

Mold resistance will be key, all of my heaviest producers with denser buds got some bud rot, and I finished in early September. It's the temperature changes, morning dew, etc. People complain about buds that aren't dense, but I find they finish really well in outdoor grows.

Crop King auto's ....I wouldn't recommend Crap King but once in awhile they do have a good seed or two.

The big one was an Early Miss, the smaller one was a Revolver

My Favorite outside auto is Canuk Seeds LemonSkunk auto, but it will push the season 90-100 days before the tric's start ambering up. I grow them in 15 gallon pots so I can move them around, either under cover from the weather and to where the best light is. I had tried planting early in specialty transplant pots (ones you are supposed to be able to put the whole thing in and forget, but all of those plants seemed to trigger to flower early a couple really early.

I am thinking about trying nursery bags I would like to finish early to mid-August I get aphids in late August/September

I am thinking about trying a simple hoop house nights get cold in the foothills.

@Govno This is the Seedstockers - Big Bud Auto I ran in 90 days seed to harvest. I'd be interested in seeing how this would run outdoors.
