Actually I had a very bad germ rate with the early wonders, not one sprouted! I was so pissed. My favorite strain for canada is the Pheno of northernlights I managed to get ahold of 3 years ago and have been growing it every year, its very cold resistant, and is put outside a few weeks before all other plants, cause its used to the cold, and come harvest she produces very fruity smelling buds, with some being 14" long and other a half ounce, now thats a cola! Finishes early september, I would definetely recommend northernlights. Even though id like to try early wonder in the future. Got any more questions ill try to help.. Happy growing
