The most challenging regions for growing cannabis are those that are hot and humid . These areas are typically tropical or subtropical and require strains that can fight off mould while handling hot temperatures .

If you have ever visited a hot and humid climate , you understand how difficult it can be to stay comfortable . The best analogy I can think of is it ’ s like having a thick wet wool blanket on your entire body while you walk in full sun . In these regions , we are limited in the strains that will grow well outdoors or in greenhouses . In tropical and subtropical environments , the temperatures can soar to 35 ° C during the hottest parts of the year . The earliest signs of a heat-stressed plant are slow , stunted , and abnormal growth . Typically , cannabis that can ’ t adjust to these conditions will have fox-tailed buds and low yields . While the high temperatures can decrease yields , growers in humid regions will have to deal with moulds . Increased humidity can promote moulds , mildew , and a variety of pests . In these regions , humidity can range from 50-90 percent throughout the year . Throw some high temperatures on top of all that humidity , and you have a recipe for mould . These regions also can dramatically slow down transpiration , leading to slow growth , stunted plants , and lower yields . Of course , we should check leaf temperatures to stay on our growth track . Luckily , many of the strains available to us for these regions come from East Asia , Southeast Asia , Central Africa , Central America , and South America . Many of these varieties are tall-growing sativas and have great terpene profiles . In humid regions , growers will start seedlings three weeks before the rainy season . As the plant is in vegetative growth during the rainy season , it will begin to flower during winter . In the winter season , the buds will get larger and create powerful terpene profiles . Thanks to many breeders , we are also able to access many hybrids that grow like indica species but have the ability to live in these environments . There are thousands of available seeds for your climate . These are some of my favourite strains for hot and humid environments .

Fast N ’ Glorious is a sativadominant strain used medicinally by many people . The high is longlasting , allowing for creativity and social interaction . It ’ s a hardy , fast-flowering variety that does well in humid regions . Its South African genetics allow for huge yields when grown outdoors . Many Mandala seed strains are cultivated from strong sativas that are world-renowned for thriving in humid environments . Fast N ’ Glorious has been refined for outdoor climates in the Northern Hemisphere , although it grows well in subtropical regions . They have crafted this strain to have early onset flowering to deal with changing weather patterns . This exotic sativa has a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that fills quickly with lime-green buds . They love to be topped and grow out wide and bushy when given the right environment . With their natural growth pattern , they can achieve outstanding yields using the sea of green method .
