I tried looking them up and it said closed indefinitely. Great Lakes Genetics has to have some early strains.

I did find that Friesland strain at Super Sativa Seed Club. Also called M33 or Freezeland. Says done 3rd week of September in the northern hemisphere. I want these myself. Looked a little more and it's available at Hemp Depot Ca by Beanhorder seeds. They call it Freeze or Big Freeze and have 18 crosses. 10 seeds $36 and 2 for 1 on 4/20. Very interesting

If it says 3rd week of Sept in Northern Hemisphere you can pretty much guarantee that means 3rd week or end of October if you're anywhere near the 49th parallel.

What's your logic behind that? Please explain.lol I've done a lot of reading about this strain.

depending on your latitude and when the plant starts to show its sex to flower on the light change

Before the fall equinox the days are longer up north. {afterward they will be shorter} Plants will flower here in NW Florida about 3-4 weeks sooner than Washington or Oregon.

I've had plenty of plants done by Oct. 1. Which is important because that's opening day of bow deer hunting season. Now we can grow on are property so we can stretch it till 1st frost. It can frost as early as September and as late as November. It's a crap shoot in Michigan

The northern hemisphere means everything north of the equator. The logic is very simple to understand. If you grow a plant say in Venezuela or Columbia which are in the northern hemisphere, do you think that it will harvest on the same day as growing a plant in say Canada? Of course not, which is why they make a blanket statement when giving estimated flowering times.
Any strain that says it's ready for harvest in late Sept in the northern hemisphere means that it actually is ready for harvest in late October or into November here in Canada. However there are plenty of strains around that are specifically bred for our Canadian climate and they label the flowering times accordingly for this region.
Hope that helps.

Which this strain is. It's a Canadian seed company. So it's a northern hemisphere strain. Freezland is a very early strain. I agree totally about most strain info are off if you count from say flip. You start counting after the plant shows bud growth. So if it says 8 it's really 10 from flip. To say ANY strain is not true

That's not how it works. Once it starts getting too cold, the plant will just stop progressing. It happens to me every year. I can have an 8 week strain that takes 10 or even 12 weeks because once it's getting so little sunlight and the temps are cold even during the day the plant just stalls. It doesn't matter what strain, could be any strain available. When you harvest depends on our weather. If we get an indian summer with really warm weather all the way through Sept then plants flourish and harvest on time. Where I live that doesn't happen very often.

I would wait until fall to put the plastic on. Doesn't matter if it rains on them until late sept or so depending on the weather. I have kept it on during the summer but I left the ends open so there was plenty of airflow and no humidity buildup.

The row cover I’m looking at cuts 50% of the light...I’m guessing that will be not good to have on during the days in fall as they will want every ounce of sun they can get. But would be good to use during summer when it hits 30 degrees and will help keep them a little more comfortable

That's a tough situation, I'm at 43°N and very few even finish for me in September.
