2023 Massachusetts Outdoor Growing

If any of you have stuff out in the sun during the day already, there’s a threat of frost at night all week.

I like the fabric pots as well. The tan or lighter colored ones seem better to me than the black. The black ones get too hot for the root zone I believe.

Very nice, I wish you luck! I’m going to do a couple of Coastal Blueberry outdoors too. So many seeds, so many choices.

So what’s everyone growing around here this season? (Are we still posting here, or is there a 2024 thread somewhere?) I’m excited to see if I can get some outdoor monsters out of RSC’s “Nepali Mountain Ganja,” and if it has potential around here. I’ve had great success with some of their Hindu Kush/Himalayans (especially Malana Cream and Mazar-i-Sharif) when it comes to hardiness and mold resistance… anybody else doing landraces?

I’m running a couple crosses with landraces as one of the parents. A nong khai mango Thai cross and a jalalabad cross.

Nice! Will all of those be outdoors? Trying to figure out which more “worked” strains will work around here without coming up moldy in Sep/Oct. One of the things I like about the Himalayan landraces is that they seem pretty bulletproof, but potency (and finishing time) can be kind of a crapshoot.

Yeah , I m gonna be putting them out next week. I have to drive an hour to get to my land were I grow. It s a higher elevation and noticeably colder still. I m gonna update my thread with the grow and progress … I m hoping for no issues this season. I lost ounces from my Blue Dream last year ,the rain was brutal and bud rot killed me …

You know, Angus over at TRSC seems to spend half his time saying that landraces often don’t neatly present themselves along the sativa/indica binary that growers use as a shorthand. I’d honestly put Malana Cream and Kumaoni somewhere in the middle–neither very stony nor very energizing, neither narrow leaves nor particularly broad. Kind of their own thing. I appreciate the high–uplifting without being euphoric, relaxing without couchlock.

Sorry if that’s a wishy-washy answer, but it’s the truth! I’m hoping that “Nepalese Mountain Ganja” might be truth in advertising, and that there’s a sturdy, mold-resistant fast-finishing “ganja” pheno that can give us some of the sativa goodness that’s so hard to pull off outdoors here in the Northeast. Stay tuned?
