Ohio? Well hell, you can grow anything. I just went outdoors last year, Got about a pound of each plant, Nothing like it.
Lots of hardy strains out there, The white strains like white widow rhino and the like. If you want a Kush, Bubba Kush is a good one and very easy to grow. Gets bigger then the purple too. Train wreck is an awesome strain, My favorite from last year is Casey Jones.
There ya go.
