Hello! I'd like to say that this forum has been a fantastic source of information on the cultivation of cannabis so far, and I decided to register because I have some questions about my upcoming grow, and would love to contribute to the forum in any way I can.
I am planning this grow in the Middle Tennessee area- We have a very long growing season (first frost usually not occurring until late October, however we have had years where I have waterskied as late as thanksgiving before). This extended growing season (mid April through October) Should give me plenty of time for my plants to mature.
A little bit about my site- It is located in a moderately dense hardwood-deciduous tree forest. I have a water source, and light should not be much of a problem. The soil is slightly rocky, and if I had to guess I would say it is predominantly composed of clay. I have already dug 60 (the number of plants I wish to cultivate) 2 foot deep by 1 1/2 foot wide holes, in which I tilled mushroom compost and the original soil together in order to give it more favorable growing qualities, on top of the nitrogen and other macronutrients that the plant needs.
My main question involves strain selection. I have not talked to any growers in the area, and have little desire to. I have done hours of research on various websites, and have a rough idea of some strains I think would be suitable for my application.
1. Durban Poison (Dutch Passion) I have read much about this strain, and am fairly interested. It is a sativa strain, and Is grown in large amounts in S. Africa, so I assume it is good.
2. Skunk #1 From what I have read, It's a solid producer. I have heard that it is susceptible to mold, however, which could be an issue.
3. Master Kush Mixed feelings on this one. Some say grow it outdoors, some say it doesn't do too well. I've read grow logs and they seem to do alright.
4. Ak-47 read that it was good for outdoor guerilla grows, however I will be able to care for my plants so I'm not sure If that is a good choice.
5. THC bomb I discovered this strain (and the rest of the bomb seed strains) While browsing a seedbank website. supposedly amazing yields and they grow outdoors well, but is that true? Hard to find accurate outdoor grow logs for them.
If you have any recommendations, I am all ears. I'm an avid agriculturalist and find this subject interesting. I am very new at this as well, so any help with strain selection is greatly appreciated.
