If I had rainy outdoor growing first I would go with few Ace strains that are resistant to humidity. Will be easier than growing GDP I guess.

Good luck

GDP outdoors wad never intended lol. Shit happens sometimes. I was only going to grow one northern lights as I heard it’s the go to noob outdoor strain and it’s resistant lol. It’s doing well. The GDP overgrew my closet and ended up outside
Learning and trying. Thanks

Of course there are others lul. I just point out a good one especially for outdoor growing. He gives informations about his strains (crazy right?) and you can find a lot of outdoor grows in cold climate that have been doing good. It is outdoor you really dont wanna miss and if you know a safest bet than Ace to grow various strains in cold climate just tell me bro !

I’ll definitely look them up. I’m not locked in. I’m a learner bro. Constantly

Suds is always helpful too

So vashon seed supply here in the PNW got brought up a while back as having some of the Vashon Island genetics that finishes early. (had to look em up) Seems they've changed the name to James Bean Company. Send them an email telling them what you are looking for and I'm sure they can steer you to the right thing.

Just wanted to add, here, we live in a rain forest, literally, and our cold falls are PM's dream habitat, so the strains they developed to deal with that...... You get it.

This works really well!

Has OP looked into a hoop house? Maybe next year?

Thanks yes I set it up in the spring and took it down. I’ll need a little larger one now. I’ll set it up I’m just late and it’s work. I am disabled so unfortunately sometimes I can’t get to things when I want
Leaf blower is dangerous with spores that travel in the wind. If it’s not infected it’s nice to dry it out with but once the mold is there it’s too risky imo

Thanks that’s much appreciated. I am real close on some nice indoor GDP so if I fail outside this season it’s not the end of the world.
And October I’m having some surgeries that should help my mobility and pain.
It’s all good though I’m above ground. I’m not an uptight douchebag (maybe I am). I love my medicine!! And people have way worse problems than me.
Plus it’s Friday.

If in pots move them and get a fan on em, do surgery, clean all the infected areas and watch for new infections. It can be managed, If in the ground you are at natures mercy but you can still manage it.
First thing you should do is defoliate to promote airflow through the plants if its dry put a fan out there, you can also use a tarp on stakes as rain shelter, when you do surgery to remove the infection use clean scissors and sterilise after each cut, do it slowly and carefully to prevent spores from bursting into the healthy buds below and infecting them as well, cut the bud sites directly above and below the infection seal them in a ziplock bag and get rid of them put some isopropyl or hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and wipe the infected stem and it will turn black when the spores die it will be instant and gratifying. Above all thoroughly inspect your plants twice a day look at every single bud, I am fastidious about this and have won many battles against it, good luck!

You just described my last few weeks. The fan in the garden was a new one for me and it definitely helped.

The wind blows spores around too

Spores already travel in the wind (that's how they got to your plants) many growers feel that getting the plant dried out is most important, just trying to help, good luck

Thanks I appreciate all the help. I should have probably been clearer. I use a leaf blower. I just inspect and remove first. Spores are airborne for sure but once they adhere to a moist surface they’re pretty stable. I have some experience with these matters. That’s why they say to lightly wet the surface before you try to remove the infected areas. Same in industrial applications. Airborne spores typically will pass right by a dry plant. Wet leaves and stems are our enemy.

I hear you, I'm indoors but I deal with septoria so I intermittently use sulfur burning and various sprays (Some sprays I dry with fans, some I leave wet to seep into the leaves) Good luck with your upcoming surgery!
