Does anyone have experience growing cookies n chem outdoors?
I'm mainly interested in the harvest times and resistance to botrytis.
latitude 45 N
I did 3 of them outdoor last summer. They were all finished between the first and third weeks in October. Im on the coast @ 40 N very wet fall too. These plants were great i had no bud rot at all. Very happy how they turned out ill be doing a few more next summer.

perfect! Thanks. Just what i needed to hear.
While it's a good reference, the difference between 40 and 45 N is the difference between finishing and not with cnc.. With perfect conditions maybe.. going by averages, probably wont be done. Counting on finishing in October in many places along the 40PN is a major crap shoot.. The couple CnC's I ran were just beginning to ripen at week 10 and were fully finished closer to 11-12. At that time of year in most of the northern areas of the US your temps are not only going to be lower but you also tend to not get as many sunny days..

Personally I would shoot for something that finishes a little quicker.. I think @ganga gurl420 might be around the 40 and might be able to chime in some personal experience. Good luck!

Oh how exciting. Got one of my new timbers up. I did this one with 2 1750's in the middle and 3000's on the outters. And the other is all 3000's. Curious about their differences. I got 2 3VL's for mom's and pre veg also. New to COBs and I'm looking forward to results.

Very nice @Kap. Did you build that frame? I remember when i first turned on my cob's from Timber i thought wow nice. When i realized they were dimmed all the way down i could not believe how bright they were when turned all the way up.

I went with the assembled unit. I dont have much time to build. I searched for materials locally and it was barely less than the difference of Dan building it for me. I did make sure it was turned up all the way, mainly cuz I have a quantum from HLG, version 1, with a tiny hole for screwdriver adjustments and I went to finally make sure it was cranked all the way too. Luckily it was. I only did one experiment with the board so far. I'm next gonna put it over my first flower tray, I run perpetual so every 2 weeks I shuffle em down a tray. So for now the next 3 trays are thousands single ended...I know I know it's the 21st century.
The cobs are going over tray 5 and 6 so theyll be on a 4 week rotation.

True. When I lived in N. Illinois at like 42N and there is no way my cookies and chem pheno would have finished. It would only be half way done before the shitty Sept weather puts the kibosh on it.

I recommend great white north GWN from hemp depot for outdoor in shitty Northern conditions.

Copper Chem. Pheno 1. Jury out for this also. Growing er again to make sure. I may have been able to push longer but she seemed ready at day 60 ish.
Great old school flavor for days, strong sativa head blast. A stretchy grow, not as pretty as some others.20190103_180322.jpg

It will be interesting to see if you're able to get more frost out of em with an infusion of LEDs.

I'm hoping so. I have a few other strains that go insanely frosty with my ol faithful HPS. Extra frost will be super bonus.

This is a Congo Chem I got a few years ago, smells amazing like no other weed I've smelled, fruity but more danky , bright but thick if odors can be described that way..fantastic sativa

Some butter nearly ready to trim, these two smell delicious

Also so far I have gotten 278g dry off the 3 other phenos, and these ones look like another 4 each, not bad for some 5 gallon pots
My Texas Butter pheno 1 is the winner of all GPS I've grown so far. Still have more strains growing and more seeds to pop.
TNT pheno 2 is a runner up.

I'm in trim jail right now, like someone posted a few weeks ago made me laugh. I am sneezing my fucking head off right now. Taking a break, took allergy meds and hanging the other timber. Cleanin old clutter in the rooms and it feels good
I'm a keeper of all useful items, to a fault...but new years cleansing is necessary
