About Mold Resistant Strains
Our Backstory
We are cannabis seed breeders with a vision. Mold problems have becomes increasingly popular for legal medical cannabis growers in the Unites States and around the world, such as ourselves in Hawaii.
Picking the most effective seeds for outdoor marijuana growing is a must if mold problems are to be avoided. Let’s be clear, cannabis thrives in a suitable climate that it’s tailored to. That's why it grows so easily indoors. Outdoors however, we are at the will of nature's wrath.
If a cannabis strain or type of marijuana has been bred in wet environmental conditions, then it’s offspring shall carry a higher mold resistance when it comes to the plant's late bloom cycle. As many of you reading may already have seen, the mold that affects cannabis plants typically appears on plants during their maturing growth phases. Thus hindering otherwise high yield plants and ruining bud harvests.
What's interesting about breeding is that plants have written in their DNA raise a defend a way to handle stresses. This is often known as acclimatization. There’s a reason indica varities end fast, they need to end their flowering and seed production stages before snowfall and frost.
Conversely, sativa types from warm weather climates flower idly over a long degree of time. Why would the plant rush to mature it's seed in a very tropical climate? Thus we see the natural acclimatization effects in action. Currently whereas we have a tendency to simply compare either indica or sativa, there exists many unique landrace and hybrid cultivars created between these sub-species. And, these strains quickly adapt and adjust to their setting.
What We Do
At Mold Resistant Strains headquarters on the Big Island of Hawaii, our team of legal medical marijuana growers breed for the most effective hybrid strains against such plant stresses as Botrytis cinerea (gray mold), bud rot, and powdery mildew. As we approach the breeding process, we look into a few main factors:
First, what is the genetic lineage of the cultivar and where have the seed products been bred? Knowing your breeder sources is crucial, due to the acclimatization of indoor plants in optimal climates, after a few generations of that it's seemingly not really optimized for harsh outdoor conditions.
Next we look into the blooming time, yield and flavor qualities of the cultivar. Growers are often compelled to choose a faster flowering strain, due to increased harvesting abilities. Indica dominant hybrids do best for top latitude areas. Whereas sativa strains prefer a more equatorial climate. Faster strains carefully bred in northern climates tend to perform poorly in wet tropical environments.
Our Strains
Here are a couple of high performing marijuana strains we have recommended for growth in our outdoor climate of Hawaii:
- Durban Poison
- Hash Plant
- Northern Lights
- Blueberry
- Bubba Kush
- Colombian Gold
- Vietnamese Black
- Maui Wowie
- Kona Platinum
- Panama Red
- South African Kwazulu
- Blue Dream
- Purple Kush
Growing Considerations
Highest yielding marijuana plants require multiple factors to succeed.
-Light: Developing hungry marijuana plants needs a minimum of five hours of direct daylight per day. If you are doing not have got a minimum of five hours of immediate daytime per day time take into account for the shady periods of the day and take measures to optimize sun exposure eg. having vegetation in pots which will be affected into the sunny areas of your grow spot. further lighting is provided to plant life mistreatment HID or junction rectifier lights.
-Grow Medium: Consistency of the develop medium/potting soil is usually unnoted however is of important importance once it involves growing healthy pot. Aeration is usually essential here, particularly once employing a true living organics grow combine. Similarly, indoor growers in pots can consider tactics for increasing aeration.
-Water: If your water is not really any appropriate, take into accounts a R/O machine, rain construction tank, or just obtain clean water. Harsh chemicals have negative effects on a living soil setting, chlorine is quite devastating to microbiology, especially delicate mycorrhizal fungi.
-Nutrients: Even organic farmers have to become compelled to offer plenty of further nutrients! Keep in mind the 3 numbers - NPK. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and don't forget your minor and micronutrients as well.
