Have tried Carnage and it finished in September south of London, ON. One had pink pistils, another smelled like coffee. Great up high. Also tried Mediplant that finished mid/late October. Very unique smell. Great meds. Tested at 22% THC w/1% CBG. Too was eyeing ultimate hash plant and Turkish Delight instead of Turkish Cookies. How was Oh Zone - finish time and affect?
It’s curing in jars. I harvested early because I had a mould problem so hash wash mediocre next year hopefully better

If you want good outdoor that finishes in time from peakseedsbc I highly suggest the c99 or texada x skunk he has. His texada x NL finished early too but had mold issues.
Can't recommend the c99 enough.
Cheers :)
Awsome, I am trying c99 outdoor this year, so happy to hear anyone promote it.. and my first grow.... so this should be either very interesting or supper sad... Well here goes nothing

If you guys are into sativas, I've had good luck growing Serious 6 outdoors in a Northern state, it has short flowering African and Canadian genetics, it would be my first choice for an outdoor sativa grow in the northern latitudes.
I've grown some Serious seeds - Ak-47, bubblegum and white Russian. All of them are decent and finish by end of October here below 43°N. Love sativas but realize they aren't for everyone. Grew Delahaze, amnesia haze and grapefruit haze last year with grapefruit haze being a favorite of the 3. C99 by G13 also finished without issue - a monster with great attributes.

Serious 6 sounds great for creativity, socializing and energy.

I'll be popping auto's as usual outside again this year I think. I like to focus on gardening outside in the summer vs growing tree's, so I find a good solid auto breeder like Mephisto makes for a few nice plants.

I think I'm partial to my indoor anyways. I usually end up giving away most of my outdoor, or turning it into bubblehash.

Oh zone was the strongest of all except mould set in at end.

I'm gonna run some autos outdoors this year. Wondering how far ahead of time you start them before last frost? Both my 600's are busy so I don't want to veg them indoors for too long under my t5.

Google "First Frost Date" and it'll tell you for your area.

Up here, May 24 to June 1st is my target date to get stuff out. But autos give you flexibility to be late putting them out. If you time it right, you can get two, and sometimes three crops.

Tip: It's near impossible to overwater outdoor in soil at the height of the summer. So go at it.

Good luck.

Doesn't answer my question lol. It's last frost you're looking for, for the record.
I'll just start em 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Should give them enough time.

I load them up, plug it in, and three weeks later I have perfectly cured bud.
No more forgetting to burp jars, or forgetting close them for me.

I used to use buckets, which work awesome btw. (2 lbs each)

Now I use these. (5 lbs each). The small ones are 1 pounders.

Im sure it doesnt hurt but that uv light is basically useless no?
It only works on product that is exposed to the light. So like in that 5lb bin w lid closed maybe an ounce is being hit by light.

Just an observation

I'm going to grab one of those curing buckets maybe two they look pretty cool
if you guys are looking for good outdoor strains I would highly recommend delicious seeds I have ran 11 roses two years in a row and it is freaking really nice very very potent taste really good very resistant it's more of a bush style plant and it's shorter and doesn't stretch a ton like most straina do so it stays closer to the ground
11 roses has been my top strain for 2 years in a row for overall quality but nothing beats its potency it's really freaking potent puts me right out that's why I grow it so this year I decided to grow a few of delicious strains because I've only grown the fruity chronic juice and the 11 roses the fruity chronic juice is really good as well it just doesn't have the potency that 11 roses has and now they have early versions of all their strains so I bought the early version of Northern lights blue the early version of 11 roses and the early version of unknown Kush as well as Bubba Kush cross to unknown Kush rags I got and unknown Kush crossed to black domino I grab a few of those as well just to test out

I have a 10' height restriction and two 5' x 15' raised beds. Last summer I started indoors and put them out long weekend of May. At the time of putting them out my garden was full of cucumbers, pea's, peppers and other stuff so I put the plants in empty spaces but I didn't take into account the fact that they would grow to 8 or 9' tall and 5-6' in diameter. The cheap greenhouse makes it possible for me to grow late into October but I don't want them sitting out there that long either. Late sept is the latest I want to go this coming summer so I think I'll do some more BC Big Bud which is the first plant on the left. Beautiful smell, good smoke and huge buds. Might order some M.O.B. from GTASeeds, fast finisher. Maybe The Purps too.View attachment 4081464
Have grown big bud multiple times many years ago, easy to grow, fast flowerer, insane yields if you get that 1 good pheno. But potency is very low. It’s more of a cash cropper but their are plenty of big yielding better quality smoke imo.

sounds like your after an indica leaning/fast flowering strain.

have you heard of incredible bulk? Very similar to big bud but much better quality and will finish maybe half a week later.

For a classic if wanting very fast good quality imo would be northern lights, skunk no.1 or ak47.

if wanting something better with big yields and around an 8 week flowering time, can’t go wrong with critical kush!
Very branchy, huge dense colas, smothered with crystals, she thrives under the sun and is an easy trimmer, rock hard nugs, great bag appeal. Has a bit of smell when growing.

By the time you get the product in the tote, you should have a good product. Note that the vast majority of mold happens in the drying and curing. Not when the plant is growing. The light eliminates any residual spores lingering in the air, not on the product. Note that totes are never filled to the top. Filling them to the top would compress the product. If compression isn't an issue you could use an UBC tank and really load it up. Granted, with some airy fluffy bud you could, I guess, fill it up to the top. But if I had bud like that, it would go for extracts, not bud. So the UVC light is meant to kill spores floating around in the airspace at the top of the tote.

UVA & UVB are useful, especially in hydro, to bring out flavor and helps generate more trichomes. The light inside the Totes is UVC (275nm) and only comes on once a day for 5 minutes. It's germicidal and kills mold spores and other nasties (spiders, bugs, whatever) that may be lingering in the air that was moved to the top. Note that there are 2.5 air exchanges per cycle in the vessels.

In any case, UVC lights are now only in curing rooms (commercial) unless someone wants them in the totes. Personally, a UVC light in a tote is overkill. But in a room, it's the cat's meow. Again, light only need to come on once a cycle for a few minutes to do the job.
