Well, I haven't grown any for 40 years, but I thought I would give it a shot. I live at 7000 ft in the Sierra Nevada. Late snow and low spring temps made outside growing difficult (indoor grow not feasible for me). I started my Hash Plants indoors in small pots, next to a south facing window. I gradually acclimated them to the cold nights (in mid to high 30's some nights even in July. Supposedly this strain is a 2 month grow. Germinated June 1, cotyledons June 4, and by July 15 they were spindly 4 inch plants. Transplanted them to larger pots with vitamin B transplant stuff. I think I over nitrogenated them when I started nutrients a couple of weeks later, and one has burn on the lower leaves, but I immediately flushed and they survived. August 1 they were 11 inches, now 18 inches and growing 1/2 per day with a nice fan canopy. I selected these because they were allegedly from a high altitude region in Afghanistan. I am sure the cold weather retarded early growth, but the weather is getting warm (still night temps in low 50's, though) and they seem to be taking off on vegetative growth, I plan to let nature take it's course on flowering unless really early snow/frost is predicted. Any advice would be appreciated. Stay tuned.
