Hey guys, well I live in texas, so our winters dont really get that cold, and I was hoping to maybe get a couple seeds out in late feburary, so that I could get some bud at the spring harvest time. I cant grow inside so outdoors is only options, so I was wondering if you guys knew of any good cold resistant strains. Temps dont really get that cold, maybe like 40's at night, if that... and like 60-70 during the day.

Thanks for all the help guys

Grow on growers = )

bump for the night, I would really like to find some of these strains.

By the way, if a cat tries to parachute from a plane, it wont land on its feet. ( just sometin to think about )

i forget at the moment but isn't ATF, alaskan thunderfuck, a cold strain? or is it just a name cuz it was bred indoors in alaska or something? i know there's a handful of em but i can't think of em right now. it's after 2am here in nepa. peace.

i think if you had a strain that flowers with age and not by light schedule and can withstand cold you will be able to pull it off otherwise you cant do a normal strain unless you pull it indoors to change the light schedule evryday.
the idea is to plant in April/May and then let it grow till September or October depending on strain. or you can plant it in june or july for smaller plants if thts the case. but it wont flower till the days start getting shorter unless you have some sort of strain that auto flowers or somthing.

i've successfully flowered lots of strains outside in the chilly early spring (late feb-april) we have. haven't found anything that can't handle it yet, even with some frost. it might be better to ask who knows from experience what strains don't like the chill.

dude Tokes what are you talking about????????????? lmao

The days get shorter during the spring as well as in the fall.... im guessing you didnt know this, becuase not many people can harvest during this time of year, becuase the temps are to low. However as I said, I live in southern texas, and our winters arent really that cold. Look at my grow journal for instance. Those plants were outdoors, and they started flowering at the end of march. I harvest in June. So... theres some new information for ya = )

Now as for the cold strains lol, because thats what I want to know.

Jdiddy thanks for the ATF suggestion, I might ask mogie about those, because I know she has grown in a couple times.

7xstall how cold does it usually get where you are? What state do you live in?

Knowm, it gets like 40's at night, on a cold night. Days are like high 60's low 70's

OK, just for clarification... the days *start* getting shorter on June 21 (summer solstice, the longest day of the year; the days get progressively shorter until Dec 21 (winter solstice); there are two periods half way between those that are called "equinox", that's when the days and nights are 12/12. With that out of the way, there are several great strains. ATF would be a good one, even tho most AK weed is grown indoors. BC Northern Lights would be a primo one. MJ is a very hardy plant and can take outdoor temps down into the 40's very well.
