I think to do a truly awesome outdoor grow in natural sun in canada one must light dep. Get them flowering in the the mid summer with big sun finishing. Then most any varietals are possible, for the most part. In a few weeks folks can start vegging there timewarps outside lots of rootspace and they will not flower like the seaweed{cweed} if it is started mid may without light length via bulb.
I have always wanted a green house, set up so it can be blacked out to simulate the 12 hour light/dark regime, just imagine flowering with the power of July and August sun light and harvesting in early September. If this type of greenhouse was available and reasonably priced, more growers would grow outside during the summer months.
If anyone knows where to get plans for such a GH...Please post the info(Thx in advance). I would love to grow a few 1 lb(plus) plants this summer. Not to mention how great the pictures would look in the photo album...
Peace...B
