For those of you not familiar with our months of 90+ degree weather, humidity to match and
late day and night rains that come during prime flowering season on photoperiod strains. Lets
just say it can be a perfect storm for botrytis(bud mold). I am working on 2 strategies to avoid
this and welcome any outdoor grower inputs.
1. Grow auto blooms in fall/winter/spring to avoid the worst of the weather.
This seems to work well, but you must continue to buy in seed.
2. Planting photoperiod strains late, just going to start germination now. Hope to finish
in winter. Hope to get some size to them before flower. Can keep a few under lights
until they stretch well.
Any growing advice, tips is welcome along with strain recommendations. Growing in custom soil
mix in pots and natural light

Mandelbrot's Royal Kush, as carried on by his brothers. He actually bred and selected in a very wet, coastal enviornment in California, outdoors for years. I'm in Oklahoma, where we can have plenty of heat and humidity, and I grew Royal Kush last summer, which was very wet and marked by massive amounts of leaf septoria, along with PM and botrytis. My 2 Royal Kush plants did the best at pest resistance, especially against bud worms and did well against the molds and fungus. I did spray Zerotol from Biosafe, however. Really nice smoke, the best I have grown outdoors in my 3 years of cultivating! Here is where they can be found. https://northcoastnovelties.com/product-category/seeds/emerald-mountain-seed-co-mandelbrots-family-heirlooms/
