  1. I may do a few plants in the mountains next year, wondering how plants do at 9000-10000 feet? Would be planning on doing 100% indicas, maybe afghani.....be a short grow season, 3-4 months tops. Anyone every grow at these altitudes or know anything on it?
     
  2. Hindu kush is a strain that landraced in the kush mountains. so that would be a strain to look into. also some autoflowers for your short grow season.
     
  3. Will weed grow at that altitude? And the weather? I thought the rule was to add 3 degrees of lattitude for every 1000' of elevation. 10,000 ft....., thats 30 degrees on top of what your lowland lattitude is....... I hope your at a low lattitude..

    I dont really know much about it to be honest, i was just wondering. Ive never heard of it being grown at those elevations but hey.........what do i know?
     
  4. apparently I don't either haha I'll check into it

    Can you tell us what mountain or at least what area you plan on growing?
     
  6. colorado rockies
     
  7. I would go with autos so they finish just after the peak sun levels.. Since you are in the mountains the sunlight should be stronger.. But you want something with a short finishing time to not get ruined by an early frost.
