Can Indica marijuana grow in humid weather ?
- Thread starter Sonnyk
- Start date
If I get a good mold resistance strain could I grow it in a rainy climate ?
Also I have heard rain destroys marijuana plants is this true ?
Thanks

I grow just about anything I want to...and we get tons of rain.

Rain wouldn't pose a problem in veg, in late flower too much rain is a problem.
Do you grow indoor or outdoor ?
Also do you use some kind of cover / greenhouse ?

Outdoors in the open, but the key is not to let the buds touch eachother and have as much air flow as possible.
Also in rainy areas I dont recommend foliar feedings unless its silica.
Also spraying something like actinovate or similar products as early as possible and often will help prevent bud rot
(Its an organic bacteria that eats fungus)
Like I said air flow is the best... so putting trellis netting up to keep buds off eachother really helps. I will get small spots of rot here and there but its soooo little it doesnt really add up to much.
Since you mention airflow I should add that I live in an area which unfortunately barely gets any slight wind. Do you think might be a problem?

Yes probably...we get high winds here. So I wouldnt go full indica then no
Why does not having wind be a problem if I want to go full indica ?
Other people are also free to weigh in , I'm a rank beginner and all help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Sonny

I have never really listened to anyone that said I couldnt grow a particular strain outdoors, and I live in one of the rainiest towns of the rainiest state in the USA. My humidity is always above 70%. Sometimes you get lucky and the canna gods bless you with two weeks of perfect weather right before harvest, and sometimes you dont.
Grow what you enjoy smoking. Dont settle for something less enjoyable because someone says you cant do it. Look for strains with short flower times, preferably bred by outdoor growers. If you can build a cover to keep the rain off your plants your chances of success will increase tremendously.

Because the higher the wind the more it helps dry them off...and the wind shakes the buds which shakes the water out. But hey give it a go and find out

Spray regularly with fungicide and you won't get mold or bud rot.
Spray regularly with pesticide and you won't get insect problems.
Use cheap agricultural fertiliser.
It's how every commercial farmer operates.

Probably less poison than any other fruit or veg you ever bought from a store.Eeekkkk...man... that's a lot of poison sprayed on plants that ppl have to smoke
And I'm not a drug dealer, my crop is for me alone.

To each their own... but personally I find benificial insects work just fine for pests, and I dont harm bees when I use this method.

I don't harm bees either, never seen one in my tent.

Look into fast flowering strains or autoflowers. You want plants that will be done growing before the weather really goes to shit in the fall.

Good point but remember we're not smoking our fruits from the store. Some fungicides convert to different substances once smoked (ex. eagle 20)
