CSI has nothing to do with HSO. I will say though HSO is pretty legit. They just did a 10k pheno hunt. As far as breeders making perfect seeds that's ridiculous. Like I mentioned do some research into how breeding works. That statement shows a lack of knowledge on your part.
You may want to do a bit more research of genetics and how breeding actually works. What you're asking for just isn't really impossible. You win some , you lose some.
With that being said if you do some research on breeders and the cuts they're using and how the test their strains you can find...
Cannabis originated around the equator not much of a debate there. Maybe other than Ruderalis which even then may have originated in equatorial regions. Yes cannabis has been grown and selectively bred in other places like Holland , New England, California etc.. but in my experience they all...
Why are people concerned with the heat? Cannabis is from equatorial regions. They love the fucking heat. I guess the major concern would be if you're growing in dinky little pots as its all about the root zone with these plants. Give your plants some root space for crying out loud. Pop those...
Moving forward I would suggest reducing your temps to 70 or below (preferably 60degrees and 60% rh) and dont blow fans directly on the drying plants. Ideally your plants should be drying over the course of 14-21 days. Low and slow for the win.
In the ground all day baby! If you want to use some better soil maybe consider just digging a hole and filling the hole instead of using a smart pot. Once they get established they don't require much water or work haha.
Botrytis is systemic. Once it starts you cant stop it with sprays. Actinovate and serenade work great as a preventative but wont stop an infection. I agree with what @thumper60 said in regards to genetics, plant health and weather as the biggest factors when combating botrytis.
