Let's make a list of Septoria resistant photoperiod cannabis strains. I'll put up an autoflower list thread too.
Septoria leaf disease is becoming a growing problem that is literally killing outdoor, organic cannabis growing.
I have seen the following septoria related strain characteristics in the northeast, usa, western maine, this summer...
Tropicanna Poison - Sweet Seeds...... literally zero septoria this year, and it's getting tough out there.... she didn't clone easily.. flowered end of July and supposedly rippens early, so she'll be in 9/20-25, before cold, dank weather pushes stuff into the flower.... nice smells already.
Pineapple Muffin - Humboldt..... Higher septoria resistance, but small amount of under larfing needed to keep her clean in bad conditions...lots of inside larfing needed with these girls, like grab the first couple/few nodes after every split or you'll get socked in, but still septoria is low even with heavy inside growth.
Made of Honor - Mendo20....... Vigorous grower so she kinda stays ahead of it, but it's there and it will depend on how wet september is as to whether septoria will creep into the flower leaves and end her days before her time.... some plants better than others, either pheno or grow spot, who knows!
Candy Store..... Ethos...... again, great growth so she keeps ahead of it, but it's there and if you don;t larf it out, septoria will win....depends on Sept.... grown this girl before, seeing the same thing, but she had a great finish on a good fall.... I won;t run her again outside, too much risk and larfing, but in drier climates, surely a great choice.
Gorilla Cookies FF....... 420 Fastbuds........ no sir, had to larf her right up to the new growth last week.... yeah, she's vigorous, and supposedly flowers quick, but she's late to turn and full of septoria.... no sir, never again
Mixed Nutz .... NASC freebie........ aaaah, ran her with hopes...she's puckered up with septoria pretty good.... once I spread her out and larfed her better, she's hanging tough....early flower turn, so she won;t have to run out much beyond sept 20..... but nah, not the septoria resistance I want.
note: just cause something says fast flowering doesn't mean it's a good choice for northeastern usa..... your better choice parameter would be, septoria and PM resistance with an oct1-10 harvest... SOmetimes fasts flowers turn late so it doesn;t matter that they're fasts as you are still in mid Oct for her to finish right........some are vulnerable to light and heat stress flipping early in veg before you want...... some are more likely to hermie...... some host septoria easily.......so it seems..... but yes, a fast flower, early finish, +20thc flower that is septoria resistance is ideal. Tropicanna Poison and Pinapple Muffin fit that bill...... let's see how they finish.
