Can anyone offer me ANY advice for growing at 7,000 to 8,000ft. I will be in some foothills in the Colorado Rockies. I am used to growing in the hot humid southeast so this is very different. One person told me to try Swiss Miss or Early Girl but I have not actually talked with anyone who has used either one of these strains so I dont know if they are any good. Please Help me or at least tell me it is impossible so I can start getting over the fact that I am back to buying herb for 50 an 8th...that makes me sick just thinking about it!! HELP ME!!!

I can't really offer you any help, aside to say, anything is possible... if you've done it before, you can do it again. Just think of all the excitement this new environment has to offer...

I'm just throwing this out there, but the afghani strains should be used to high altitude.

im just throwin this out there but smkerE knows his shi* i have yet to learn how the altitudes of Afghanistan compare to the rockies but those strains have not proven super valuable in adverse environments far as i have seen and afganni is a tried and true land race strain...of course there is more too high altitude growing than that i would wager but when in doubt go with something hearty.

I hope it works man because im going to try to grow a whole field at 11,000 feet in the rockies. unless I think i can find some other place where no one is going to noticea whole field. I have done some research and i dont think altitude is the problem but shorter seasons and colder nights basicaally harsher conditions. I have been looking at swiss or mountain mist which might be the same things, Pure afghani indica, and a few other hardy mould, cold resistant fast flowering plants. I would like to stay in contact with you since i have never actually grown.

Here is a bit of an up date, I m looking at Holland's hope, early misty, and mountain mist. I sent an email to marijuana-seed.nl and these are the strains they recommended to me. also I asked if they would offer a discount on a bulk order and they said they did so if you want to go in on an order it would save us both money. Oh and I'm still going to try a pure Afghani indica just because i believe it is hard to improve on nature when it comes to survival traits in plants

shit nigga im a 7000 feet in the rockies also and my master kush is growin veryyyynice. Since it gets like 15 degrees at night my master kush might come out purple i cant wait, its not a problem for me atleast so im sure you will be fine

i would try mountain mist... i started germanating yesterday and they are already cracked and sprouted today and im right at 6000ft in california....

i highly recomend mountain mist

I'm at 9350 feet practically on the Equator.
Nice climate, stable. Low at night 39 F and High at day 85 F, usually around 75F

what strains do you recommend. i was thinking of Barney's LSD, Lemon Amnesia, G13 Haze & Laughing Buddha

Great thread, if anyone gets it going in the mountains, please get a journal going. I'd love to see some pics and read a great mountain journal.
