help choosing strain
i am wondering what would be a good strain to grow in my climate. i'm in central florida close to the beach. is there one particular strain that does good in this climate????
the weather for today as an example is:
low 78, high 89. chance of precip. 30%
humidity - 75%
any suggestions?

thanks

Look for a strain that is mold resistant.

so are you growing outdoor or indoor? My boy down in FL just brought me up about 4.5 lbs Mowy Wowy(never seen it spelled, so something like that, sound it out!). That is a popular one down there I belive.....

Yes, the warm temps and high humidity causes powdery mildew, i.e mold or fungus, to attack the plants. Anywhere you have those weather combonations you need to be prpepared for mold. Now, IMHO, plants that were developed from tropical regions are more resistant to mold than others. So that leads me to believe that a sativa or sativa-dominant strain will do better in a high humidity area than an indica strain.

Go with a sativa mix that is advertised as a low grower, or top it back.
