I'm not from your area but according to some research I've done on different seed sites, Northern Lights, AK47, and GDP are a few strains suited for colder climates and finishing quickly. Smell's are another story:weed:

northern lights have a low smell to them but idn if they will survive the frost i might get some autoflowering northern lights and try my luck what do you think about that!!!

Yes, autoflower would probably do well in your climate. But about when does it start to frost over there?

Well those strains I mentioned can deal with the temp change and I think if you start them early (April, or Even March if you can manage to grow them large enough) indoors with CFL's until they're old enough to continue vegging outdoors (mid-May-ish) then they can start flowering earlier. You could even simulate flowering earlier than the season by putting black bags over your girls earlier than the sunsets in later summer. Putting black bags over your girls is also a good idea because you can put a metal container with hot water in side the bag with your plant and drop some dry ice in there and seal your plant in there with the CO2 vapor :) it'll give your plants a boost of air they like while also suffocating any pests hiding on/near your plant inside the bag

time warp is the bomb!! i really like it and it has a smell that you will never forget!! I dealt with my plants when I got home from work and 5 hours later the smell was still on my hands and on my mind!!!
 
I agree With you redtuber ( pornsiter) . Washington gets some crazy weather changes from ay to day or week by week. Im located in the snohomish county and struggle just to get seeds cuz for some dumbass reason no one keeps them. they either try smoking them which ends up giving them burnt face or really bad headaches or they just thow thm out.

African Sativas are pretty hardcore and can tolerate frost fairly well. Maybe try to locate short season cultivars, like some pure Afghani...or crosses of the two...

That is just plain sad...

Why are there so many pathetically stupid people? I feel like Idiocracy is already happening...

ya man it is only sept and it is in the 50s at night and 60s during the day not good for growing way to cold but idn it has been a cold summer becuse there is a cold winer comming next summer might be warmer i hope!!! i was thining about growing ice starting it in march inside let it grow tell may so 2 months inside to let it have a beeter chance to survive the cold i just dont now what floros to use and i got a small area but i think i can start 5 ice plants to get ready for the outdoors i picked ice becuse it can grow indoor and outdoor and is a cross of northern lights so it has a chance to be resealiant to the cold i just hope that it can grow and next summer is in the 70s-80s and 60 at night get a nice summer!!!!

Hey iluv, I got 10 of the Big Blue seeds from a dispensary in SF, CA. I think they sell them online from BC Seed Co. tho. I put 1 seed out on June 1st and it has grown into my largest lady (in a 15-gal container). It began flowering on 8/17/10 and is still going without a smell unless you get up close. I've LST her so she can be stealthy but she's growing fatty buds as part of her genetics is to grow large buds that smell like apparently like blueberry koolaid :grin: Yes, she loves outdoors and yes, she loves cold weather but can also stand temps up to 90 degrees oh various days without showing any signs of unhappiness. It's my favorite strain so far :)

OH, 1 important thing though, I'm growing all organic in soil medium and I think that may also be affecting my plants in a more positive way

there is no one strain that is 100% resistant to frost because we know that cold can kill any plant.
but i think that if you stick with a strain that has purple genetics you should be fine.
