Hi,

Longtime lurker, first time poster (and thanks to all the unsung heros whom saved my ass). I've been researching this ad nauseam and am looking for some critical & objective advice. I'll try to keep it brief so here's the deets:

95490 zip
North facing hollow deep in the woods that gets blasted June & July, then filtered sun shade into full shade in early spring & late fall. Lots of condensation at about 2500 feet, rain is occasionally an issue (but I'm not complaining, we need it).
3rd year outdoor grow in 200 gal squat pots, 25 units. Organic soil & nutes, rain catchment.

My dilemna, I've done seeds & clones, but prefer seeds (and not into auto/fem). So far I've tried Strawberry Cough, Blue Dream, Blackberry Kush, Dream Queen, various Mendo purps, Ogre OG, Kona Bomb, blah blah. I've done well fighting off the pests and rot (and bears!) but come late October I'm so deep in the shade I weep for my soggy plants. (Moving/logging isn't an option either btw.) is there anyone who lives in a similar environment that has any suggestions for some good early finishers? Trends & price are of no interest to me; I just want a couple solid winners to supply me with the sticky icky. So far, it's AK-47 and maybe Casey Jones (tho I did so much indoor of that it doesn't sound appealing). And I have a boner for the Cheese just because I could walk around with my head in a bag of it all day.

Okay sorry rely for the hella long post and thanks in advance!
 
You would get a better response by posting in the outdoor section.
that's where the dudes who can help you hang out...

I have seeds to a few strains that finish late September, early October.

I obtaind them from a grower who has been crossing 6 diff strains from Sensi Seeds for over 10 years. Great genetics...

PM me if your interested in trading some seeds...

Anyone out there doing a north facing grow? ...only growers I know are a few brave Kiwis from New Zealand ....lol! the problem here ain't you but your location, unless your are willing to relocate you will be supplying the Pm angels with food is all! and every years growing great strains to a very marginal success, in time you may accidentally breed a successful strain yourself in such a shitty damp climate, either get a great and proper place to grow or just grow autos for 2 months of the year ...?
 
Thanks @Farmer's Hat, I'll think about it and yea @vostok I think it's something like heading up shit creek with no paddle. ;) Not into autos and I'm not moving (I own the place) and frankly I've been very fortunate to yield what I have. (Actually PM has been the least of my worries.) Just trying to move away from some of the more hyper popular strains and get something more suited to my environment, not tryna blow up cannabis cup. My buddy across the hill has an F5 I worked with last year; absolutely beautiful plant but such a flat smoke. I dunno, maybe I should grow shrooms in this climate instead. ;)
