How long is your growing season in NS? You may want to go with an autoflowering variety for your outdoor grow.

With a 12 week growing season you would want an early finisher. I still would recommend autos.

thanks for the tip Bigbear. Any strain from CKS you would recommend?

You might check with the people growing in the north eastern USA. They have medical and rec states up there so someone is growing outdoors. Similar weather patterns at least.
If you start them indoors now, and move them outdoors around the middle of June, almost any strain can be grown outdoors in Nova Scotia.

Just reviewed what was available from CKS. Most are in the 7-8 week range, a few in the 8-10 week range.
A good rule of thumb is to add two weeks to any time estimate.
I’ve only grown their Northern Lights Auto. I have 100% germination rate. My first two NL were stunted by fungus gnats, But I have high hopes on the one I am growing now.

What's your Germination techniques, any picture you have? I usually just fold a paper towel put seeds inside it and use a squirt bottle on the towels and put it in my cold room with no light or by a windowsill
Both have actually been 100% for me although that was 2 years ago and im afraid I wont get the same results and am limited on seeds

I’ve had good luck soaking for 12-24 hours until the seed sinks, the putting in a damp paper towel. This last couple of batches I’ve put the paper towel with the seeds in a plastic bag and have been putting it on top of my tent where it stays about 27c.

The auto should work. I had some Early Girl finish outdoors is a hell of a lot worse climate then you have there. That strain should be very similar.

I've never tried germinating that way,, how long do you leave it in glass of water for, and afterwards the paper towel you put it in does it need to be moist?

Glass over night and moist paper towel. Make sure paper towel always stays moist. tell seeds pop. Don't let it dry out.

Sounds good, How many hours in glass jar, 12-14? or if overnight 8-10?

I soak them until the sink, typically 12-24 hours, and then I move them to the paper towel.

Okay so you put them in and let them float till they sink?
I thought crop king said to push them down till they sink although i like the idea of floating till they sink, gives you a good idea as to when their done

I push on them to break the surface tension, but mine tend to want to float for the first 12 hours.
