Landrace strains for Canadians

I am currently growing Nanda Devi landrace seeds from the real seed company at about 49°N, bc west coast. I originally thought it was going to finish somewhat early, as it was advertised as very early finishing, august/september harvest, but turns out that is the harvest time in India, and is set to finish around early december in my region, according to research I did. The thing is, it doesnt really frost here until december or january, and supposedly the nanda devi can take below zero night temps. Yeah, it will be raining and overcast in november, but she has such loose bud that it might actually just shake it off. Either way, I plan to cross it with some timewarp and also with some autos to see if I cant get something with those glowing landrace effects, mold resistance and early finish times

I made a lot of money living in toronto off deeply cheaper friesland grown in quebec… good times! I can smell that turpentine friesland smell from here. It routinely had mold, though, and I have never grown it to full term. I will try again next year, I think I have a few crosses

@CanuckistanPete,
I realize that the post you made was a while back, but, for those looking for Canadian Crinkle, as I have for years, I recently found this site:

Thanks for the heads up though

Their early purple sativa is an excellent outdoor grow along with Manitoba Poison x Mighty Mite….might have to score some of these and give them a run again. Texada Timewarp x Shiskaberry I grew outdoors in 2000ish with great success. Was an old Texada Island strain I got when I was living in the southern interior in the tail end of the 90s.
Last year I did autos cause my brother in law showed up with a bunch of new seeds so that’s what I grew. I have to say I was impressed with the simplicity and the end product. Worse case scenario is you end up sending it through the screens or rosin press.
