Hi everyone,

I thought it would be interesting to hear other growers opinions on this. By early, I mean non autoflowering indicas that are completely finished by 10/25. I' ve had to limit the choice to 3 because there arent that many in my view. I hope you will consider all aspects of the plant, including potency. 70% or more indy

Top 3:

Dr. Atomics BB X Nl - This plant starts flowering in the 3rd week of July and is completely finished at my lattitude by Sept. 10-15, and will knock your socks off. Its one of the few crosses that isnt NL X BB. Heavy yeilder.

Outsider - Hemcy , This plant gets overlooked by outdoor gardeners and is a top notch strain. Decent yeilds, tasty, a good solid 8 by any standards and finished here by Sept. 20 without exception.

BCSC NL#5 X Skunk - Peak Seeds Ive never grown big bud but I can't imagine any plant having larger, thicker, denser buds than this plant. The potency is great, Norther lights, electrified. Every plant Ive grown comming out of canada with Norhter lights, has finished very very early.

Contenders that didn't measure up:

Sensi Seeds California Orange. Finishes very early, god awful potent but will mould the second week of flower. Huge yielder.

Sensi star- One of my favorites but won't finish mid Sept.

What are your choices ?

Silverback

I like they way you think I am a big fan of the couch lock indicas.

Hey I know we spoke about this before but

Endless sky- Last week of Sept first week of Oct.

I thought I would mention Early Riser because I saw you made mention of it in another post. It was one of my first strains I grew. Its funny how you move on but I sholud have kept it in mind. I had huge yeilds and pulled it a little eary around 10/17 could have went another week.

Dr Atomic BBxNL

Mostly Indica. DJ Short's Blueberry and the Doc's NL. A compact vigorous strain. Strong, fruity and floral buds.

At 3.5 feet expect up to 100 gr.
Cuttings flowered at 12-15" will finish at 30-40".
Flowering time 50-65 days

Looks like a good one.

What kind of yeild/plant outdoors?
1-10 what do give for potency? (Compared to Sensi star)
Which of your 3 has best potency?
Best Yeild?

Hey hamstring, I hear you on the Indicas. I love them. I'm happy for all the sativa lovers, but I respond to sativa's like a cat responds to a can tied to its tail. 60-40 strains make me jittery. Im growing Texada Timewarp for my wife this year, but I won't be burning it. I think I might dust my maple leaf indica with it.

Most potent of the 3? Hard answer. All 3 have very acceptable potency and 4 - 5 months of cure and all are very good. Just different and hard to compare

This will be my first grow of BBxnl. A friend who grows commercial has grown it forever but he's trading it out and I enjoy the high from it so much, Im growin it this year. Its got a very enjoyable high. There are a couple of phenos. The northern Lights pheno is a head ringer. The other pheno is not a big yeilder and has a much more energetic high.

Endless sky's a little late for this competition. Im looking to hear about the earliest finishers youve grown?

Gosh hamstring, 10/17? What is your lattitude?

Silverback
Sorry about that my public schooling is catching up with me. I meant 9/17 (sept 17th).
Thanks for the heads up on the BBXNL. If it finishes Sept 20th or better it is a strain I need to investigate.

I have been growing Sensi Star outdoors for a few years now and it wont finish until mid October. I grow in a hot dry climate and she does well but she never has to go far for a drink of water either. I have been looking at Dr Atomics NL x Blueberry, thanks for the heads up on that one. Here is a couple of pic's of my outdoor stars.

Dr Atomics Nl xbb is a great strain no doubt but it wont be ready before mid october

[bongasaurus]

have you looked into some of greens' beans? Guerilla Gold #5's out now

i grew some gg#2's last seson in marginal conditions and got some real nice buds

Hi everybody,

No GG, Sensi star wont finish mid sept. generally. There is the indica pheno that will finish end of sept but the sativa goes until Oct 1 in my area. 38, I guess I would have to say here drought resistance is normal. She has to have water.

Below Frigid, your stars look good. I grow this strain every year and have since o2. Oct 15 seems late, whats your lat.?

Johnyhash, weve been growing DR. A BBNL around here for a while. She finishes mid -late sept here. What is your latt?

I did start a thread yesterday on this forum about how to take a couple of weeks off of the finishing time for those stars.

I am really considering the BBxNL but seeing conflicting finish times. Latitude matters. I am at 42 north.

Silverback looks like you are about 6hrs south of me. I am guessing first frost of Oct30th last May 1st which gives you about a 15 day start window and 15 day finish window better than mine.

Johnny Hash so what’s your experience with the strain and what’s your latitude?
