Indicas are best suited for colder climates. Bubba kush is a good one and does well at temperatures around 60-65 degrees.

Check out Mazar i Sharifi. Make sure the lineage shows it is actually from Afghanistan. They don't harvest it until it has snow on it. Medicann Seeds calls it plain "Mazar". Heavy producer of resinous pot the Afghans use to make hashish. Berger is right about the indicas.

I think there are a bunch of good cold-weather growers on this site.
I think @Mad Hamish @Pattahabi @stowandgrow
hmmm I know there are more than that... maybe they could help steer you.
Or perhaps the regional area for growers
Personally I can't help... im on the central CA coast

Bro I deal with temps of over 110 in summer and can get it down to 75 in winter if lucky... You want to know about HEAT I'm your man. I have never in my life seen snow.

I didn't know that man
Those are some beautiful plants regardless, but the fact that you are waaaay up there AND growing those fatties is a sure sign of your growing prowess my friend.

this is new strain cherry pie x pck grew like a beast only problem i am seeing now is she is somewhere 3rd or beginning of 4th week with rain hitting them every 2nd or 3rd day its to my biggest concern is the cold night temps of 2 degrees C or 35.6 F causeing massive leaf purpleing i hope she finishes before second frost or i am chopping and taking a huge loss in yield looks like next year its force flowering beginning of August

damn... down to 35?
that's frosty...at least you don't have too much worries about mites or botritus at those temps.. that's my world..
the rain hitting them is a bitch too... when that happens I just think of alllll those rain drops cruising down and individually blastin those trichomes everywhere.. A travesty....

all in all she is doing well noticing the purpleing leafs becoming more evident through out plant next couple of days she is going to be pretty cold night temps mother nature sure can throw curves ... but by end of the week things will be back to normal lets just hope plant kicks it up a notch going to take some pictures of purpling later on but sun is shinning and temps are increasing lol

one thing I may add... if force flowering is your goal?
Get a mother, keep her under a typical 18/6 or even a 20/4, and take clones, get all the plant you will want for outside, and then when you plant them in june or july, they'll flower immediately. If you have a picky strain, keep the mom and clones under 24 hrs of light, and then almost any change in that pattern will trigger flower.
Actually that's what I HATE about using clones for outside, but in your case, it may prove to be helpful.
Keep in mind the yields are going to suffer, but you can offset that by training them and getting them large during vege time.
Maybe a nice beefy greenhouse with a natural gas powered (co2 makin) heater is in your future?
