Good luck on your search, I am jealous of your weather. I wish the snow would come for 1 day then go with warm weather.
In terms of genetics? I’ve been looking into this for southern New England outdoor growing, I’m not on the coast but I am in a large and moist/foggy river valley with some of the same daily humidity problems, especially in the end of season. I had excellent luck this past year with Malana Village sativa hashplant, despite the constant rain and high humidity, and hard dew in the fall, both of my plants made it through without mold or any pests, I did almost no IPM spraying other than a few mists with PureCrop1, on both the full sun- and shade-grown plants. That came from Colorado Sativas as a reproduction of Old World Organics’ collection in Malana over a decade ago. I can definitely recommend that one and I think CS is probably going to be the best source for affordable wet climate sativas, though he only does regs. Seeds from ACE would be my first choice for fems off the top of my head, though you might be able to find some good S1s here from OGs of their favorite fast sativas too.
Oh you filter for my posts in the Landraces Of India thread I posted pretty regular updates with photos there.
Other places that come to mind with your wet warm climate are definitely Reunion Island, thus maybe the ACE Zamaldelica fems or Night Owl Zam Express?
what’s your latitude?
If you want a fast sativa, look no further. You have to get Purple satellite. It Is fast as it was breed to be, at 60 to 70 days. Also it is purplish with pink pistils and very sativa.

seconding the purple sattelite, I grew two girls outdoors this year and pulled them late september/early october, good potent head highs on em, sweet and tasty, and fairly airy buds that I’d bet wont mold a bit. Definitely a strain I plan on keeping around
I 2nd Zamaldelica Express @Jamescoldflame . One of the most Sativa things I’ve grown, photo or auto. Fantastic strain. I’m on roughly 80 days from sprout and could easily harvest now although I’m letting it go a bit longer. Early samples have been primo.
20 bucks to a charity of your choice with receipt and Ill send out Purple Satellite x BSHW to anyone. Given to me by VM.
I also really like this one. Glad I have a few seeds stashed as its sold out now.
You, also, might wanna give “Getaway Mountain Seed” a “look-see”. I would think they’re perfect for you/your area. SS/BW…mister
This is old old knowledge, thanks for mentioning it! People have used the canopies of trees for thousands of years like this, when you plant just inside the dripline of a tree’s canopy there are numerous advantages. If oriented on the correct side of a field (usually the north edge), you lose very little solar exposure while gaining natural protection from hard rain and storms, along with irrigation, as the dripline is where a tree canopy sheds the majority of its water, and maintains the most active rootlet zone for its own uses. You get good active soil food web, water retention, and weather protection all at once this way! And if you tie the tips down like @Magu points out, with an adjustable hitch you can keep pulling them over horizontal for more solar exposure surface, as well as keeping them under the field growth for stealth and additional wind protection.
Apollo or anything crossed with it…certainly get some 6-7 week finished indoors, which usually works out to fast outdoors for me.
Who might have some straight apollo beans?
Also if you search and read @MonsterDrank posts about Apollo you’ll hear about the other options, he’s a freak for that girl
I want to be as high as Rick James in this photo!
Cool but I’ll have to find another source. I don’t support Mota rebel he’s not an honest guy.
Fair enough, I think you could get some here on OG from @antheis if asked nicely
going to try this summer outside
Sour Chem Haze (jb sour chem x tom hill haze)
Sour Iron Maiden (sour diesel x a5/thai bx )
hope they are faster than traditional haze, will be a fun project
My fav sativas:
Heavy Kickers Mix Herbies Seeds (it takes 65 days)
Gelato BlimBurn Seeds (60 days)
Is this still on offer?
There should be a thread for it if you search. I believe its an ongoing offer
thanks @I.am.human i tried searching and found a 2024 charity auction thread but i don’t see this same offer
I don’t have a finished strain yet, but this is what I’m working on with ESL (Syrian/Lebanese x Ethiopian). I’m using TLC to test parents for thcv. My Syrian/Lebanese is a super apical dwarf with thcv that I hope will control branching and stretch and transfer the early photo trigger that helps outdoor flowering to start in July.
The Ethiopian on its own is like 12-14 weeks, so it’s not that long of a flowering time to bring down and also found a male with good thcv. I think I’m going to need to inbreed it a few generations to filter out the funky stuff that pops out when you’re messing with landrace crosses.
