Recommendations on strains for guerrilla grow in forest.

[OBX Guy 61]

I live in Atlantic Coastal region and growing guerilla and some will be in areas in the forest with not full open sun constantly. Any recommendations on strains that do well without blazing sun, I have no choice but to grow this way.

 

[bam0813]

Ive never guerrilla grew and certainly haven’t grown hundreds of strains but my garden gets more partial sun than full and doesn’t suffer. Wouldn’t keeping plants smaller be wise anyway in that scenario?

 

[OBX Guy 61]

Oh yeah but, got to be prepared for best grow. I am putting out a lot of plants and hoping to harvest 1/3. I get what I get and it should be better than getting busted or thiefed.

Atlantic coast is more than 1000 miles long? Many different climates.

If it was a dry shaded spot id say deep chunk or x18 as they yield good under trees as thats how tom hill grew em in cali but the atlantic bit sounds like u need more mould resistant stuff like maybe friesland

 

[Kindbud421]

Anything indica with mold resistance. Lack of light just means smaller yields.

Is it worth its effort. I read low thc but that is not a tried and true method and was certainly determined under best grow conditions.

The best ones for partial shade are sativa hybreds they get bigger than indicas in the shady spots. My best one was a durbin cross with a mid october finnish. The indica, afgany's, tend to get heavy and finnish in sept when hurricane or rainy season is, whereas the sativa hybreds are still thin and not filled out and make it through to finnish in better weather in oct. Look for a largish sativa 8-10 feet with a mid oct harvest date, a lot of larger sativas I see for sale are now hybreds that have lots of mid size heavy buds. oct 11th

He said that was its preferred conditions ie indirect sun thats how he grew it so must be ok or why would you bother if its chunk etc u asking about

Sativas? Outdoors? Eastern sea board? Good luck

 

[thumper60]

Like decrepit digits says you want something with lots of sativa in it that finishes late oct early nov Indicas will rot with high RH an sept rain.

Sativa's have better mold resistance than indica? We cant run them in New England season to short Sativa has been growing in wet jungles for 1000s of yrs.

Not always but often yes sativas can handle humidity good its cold thats a killer for some the dutch durban poison of old was good outdoors here for example and im in the uk so thats saying something also leb27 is another one tbh alot of hybrid from hell and nordic stuff and alot of the old Dutch outdoors stuff was sativa leaning till the likes of amstelgold viking n friesland etc hit of course

I understand but OBX lives way down south of you or me Iam at 44lat about the same as you he is at like 38 lat whole different ballgame.

 

[bam0813]

Im not disagreeing with thumper but it’s weird that they list NC frost free dates exactly the same as mine in mass. That cant be right can it?

Kc33 would suit his needs i bet that one comes highly recommended by a few guerrillas i know
