Michigan here ... I'm considerably south of Nova Scotia. I have a greenhouse, and it's not quite as simple as providing shelter and heat. You still have to deal with RH during those colder nights. I'd be looking at autos and early maturing fast versions. You will probably do fine if your plants finish in the first 2 weeks of September. After that, the rising RH and the quick loss of daylight hours may make some strains hard to finish.Get a greenhouse. Even a little pvc hoop house and a heater will save you with as far north as we are!
Tears in my eyes about 20 years ago early October when my beautiful big girls got the rot in the entire crop before I realized they were fked. I lost the whole crop, I've been growing indoors since then, except last year and they were pulled early with PM. I'll have a few outdoors again this year but not as my primary supply. If I can shock them into flipping early that might just do the trick and allow me to finish them off in Sept.Michigan here ... I'm considerably south of Nova Scotia.

It didn't help me. I built an A frame green house with a osculating fan 24/7, I still got PM in October. Fog, frost, cloudy, damp without enough sunlight to dry off early morning dew. A heater is useless in that type of green house, its like trying to heat up October the heat dissipates too quickly without insulation to hold it in. AND in Nova Scotia 15 cents per k/w/h plus tax means it gets too expensive to piss heat into the wind.Get a greenhouse.

Going to see if it available and in Feminized Seed.. Thanks..If you can find real gentics Alaskan Thunder F#ck does well in the cooler temps.
Great idea, I have an old tent in the garage we haven't used for years.In about mid September I let the girls camp out in the backyard. I slide them into the tent at night to protect from rain or frost.

Welcome, at least it’s keeping you busy, 1951 vintage myself...flu forced me into another Hobby. Living in Nova Scotia, Canada with unruly weather and many obstacles I am getting ready for season two. First on was a total loss but sure learned a lot. Looking for suggestions on strains that will do well in our climate as any great prices on seeds, nutrients etc. Things like is it too early to start my plants to best soil to start them in.. Thanks in advance ..
Nope, not a Feeb LOL. Just an old scooter trampYou guys are so cool I thinking you’re Canadian FBI (to American to look it up). But I did watch Judas and the Black Messiah last night so probably just being silly.
Some up here have great success growing outdoor in worse ( to me ) climates. A guy in Edmonton last year grew monsters but he built a green house around them. Then added a wood stove, an insulated tarp to cover it, guard dog, fishing line and fish hooks attached to an alarm around it and ended up sleeping with them before harvest. lolI put a propane heater in my greenhouse. It would retain the heat pretty well ... but ... moisture is a by product of using propane for heat. I could never get the roof of my greenhouse to dry completely once October rolled around. I've got Sugar Black Rose early version, and Caramello Fast version lined up for this summer. Both of those should finish in September.
This year started early inside. By the time it thaws enough to send them out to play outside, they should be showing the first signs of what sex they are so I can isolate the males .Michigan grower here,this year I'm gonna try northern lights autos outside,they are supposed to be hardy and PM resistant.
Last year had a bad case of powdery mildew,had to wash all my buds...gonna try something new. Start indoors and harvest by august.
