Missouri is a great state for breeding Cannabis. The number one genetics to grow in Missouri is Afghanistan (Indica). Strains like White Widow, Northern Lights, Blue Cheese, Banana Kush, Gorilla Glue, Girl Scout, Ďurban poison and Blue Dream flourish in Missouri.
Climates can be wet or dry, hot or cold, humid or arid, and all of these variations can affect the growth of your plants. Missouri often experiences huge temperature swings, hot and humid summers, and unexpected fall frosts, all of which can decimate your harvest.
The history of hemp shows that it once was grown just like every other crop, with no stigma attached. It was so crucial to the development of the US that in 1619, Virginia passed a law that required all of the colonies to grow hemp.
Missouri held a record number 2 in producing hemp. Many claim its the best place to grow and breed Cannabis seeds in America.
In the 1840s, settlers from Kentucky who had grown hemp for use in ropes and other commercial items soon found that the plant grew well in Platte County. They harvested fibers from plant’s tough stems. Shipping on the Missouri River made markets reachable.
Quoting a private letter of Dec. 22, 1846, Mr. Paxton related in his Annals of Platte County:
“The farmers of Platte County put in less hemp than usual last spring (1846), but the fiber is better and heavier and will equal last year’s (1845). Lafayette County produces the most hemp perhaps 1,500 tons. Platte and Jackson come next, producing, each, 1,000 tons; and Clay 900 tons. …The farmers of Missouri seldom stack hemp. They suffer it to receive enough rain, and after cutting to color it. It was then taken up and shucked, without binding. About the middle of October it is spread out to rot. Our winters are so dry that the hemp must receive several rains before it is rotted. I have frequently seen hemp taken up in spring not half rotted.”
Welcome to this thread about Missouri growers and anyone wondering about moving here to grow Cannabis. Seeds trades are welcomed in the discussion. 
Oh sorry
