I'm using greencure also great thread by sliverback but most the time I don’t get to each patch without 2-3 week intervals and allot can happen just venting a little.

Last couple of years I have been able to make it to 10/15 before first real killing frost but not so sure about this year. I can remember maybe 8-10 years ago getting a big frost on 9/20 hope we don’t have one those kind of years.

PEACE

I would look two places if I were you the first is right here in the outdoor forum esbe is a euro grower with great skills and many of the strains he's crossed or that others share pics of are early strains from northern Europe. Also need to get over to unleashdagreen.net and sign up they have some excellent early outdoor strains from our Canadian brothers.

Hamstring,
TY for the reply. I've been watching esbe's work closely and am waiting for any releases he does through HTC/seedbay.

I've tried signing up at UTG but for some reason the activation I was sent didnt work, I emailed admin and never got a reply, sortta gave up there.Maybe i'll try again, but I got no "rep" there and need to get rolling for next years O.D. grow.

I guess I was looking for easy to get strains from the likes of Hempdepot,Seed Boutique and the like.

I've been looking at BackCountrys O.D, strainguide with great intrest, but many people dont share my combination of short season/early frost. No one EVER mentions their hardiness zone, Look at alot of europe, its as far or farther north than I am, but get an extra month+ before frosts, that makes a world of difference.Same with the West coast/B.C. area.

Hey bro I am a Midwesterner at 42 deg (first frost (Oct 7th-15th) and I am still looking for that perfect strain also. I have a buddy Fast Pine who says Chrystal and Mendo Maddness are winners. I have also heard that Maroc from female seeds is good.

If you get signed up at UDG, by the way I did notice you put UTG it is no longer unleashthegreen it changed to unleashdagreen.

I am currently growing both of these strains from UDG AK99XFL done from Sept 23- Oct 1 and of course GG, which has a very early, harvest. I also have grown Early Riser by sag seeds, which I harvested around Sept 27th if I remember correctly. Talk to BreederBrad or Greens for some more help there are many early strains at UDG to choose from.

Passion #1 and Shaman both have early harvest dates but potency was not up to par. The only reason I bring them up is some people love them and work to find a good pheno. If you have an indoor show you may want to play around with them because they have some very good qualities just were too weak for my taste.

PEACE

So one week I'm praising the rain, the next hot & humid, and got some bud-rot. Lost some bud but salvaged about 2.5 times what is in the pic!!!




Ready for curing now, filled a three pound coffee can and saved the three biggest buds.....had to trim them to fit into a gallon ziplock!!
 
Hope everyone had a awesome Outdoor Growing Season in the Midwest and got all their ladies down before it was to late, even tho where im at its still perfect weather for late finishers

Lately been in the upper 60s during the day and mid 40s at night awesome Fall weather indeed buddies!
