Best Strains to Grow in the Midwest? HELP?

Hey everyone! I live in the midwest...in fact in the state of Illinois outskirts of Chicagoland area. I was wondering what the best strains would be for growing in this area. I would be planning on planting around May and harvesting around September or even October.

I would like to plant at least 6 different strains with a good variety of effects so please keep that in mind.

Thanks so much!

Check out some early flowering strains. Early girl, early skunk etc. Look at different seed banks and they will show what time each strain will be ready outside.

I like nirvana seeds shop personally, and they have plenty of outdoor strains.

northern lights i know is a fast flowering plant

Ok thanks any other specific strains that work well here people?

Mango works well in illinois as well.

Mango? There is no strain simply called Mango is there? If so please direct me to a seedbank that sells the seeds and I will look into it. Thanks! Anymore?

It's the midwest. You'd be able to grow almost any kind of cannabis you could think of. That's the glory of the midwest, it's almost all farm land!

Just pick any strain that isn't like, pure sativa and you'll be fine.

Not entirely true. The weather gets cold here fast. Its been freezing temps with frost here for a few weeks already, so harvest time needs to be late september. Any later and they wont mature in time.

It isn't frosting where I live yet and its mid October

Eh, that area is gray. Due to the lakes being jerks and creating their own weather patterns, one place could be getting frost, whereas a different place (even 30 miles away or so) are still warmish and fairly dry.

My sister lives in Chicago (in Hyde Park, right down the street from Obama's house >.>), and right now she's complaining more about the wet than the cold.

So. You know. Stupid lakes.

Well yeah, but Hyde Park is in the city, while I am in a neighboring suburb area. The weather is a lot different between the city and the suburbs for a variety of reasons. I don't know where you could grow outside in Hyde Park, or anywhere else in the city for that matter.

She doesn't grow, so it's fine.
