Hot weather may seem like the ideal cannabis growing environment, but still, some strains do not perform well under intense heat or humidity. Excessive heat or direct sunlight can dry out and damage plants if we are not careful. Cannabis plants are also extremely vulnerable to mould and pests, the chances of which are significantly increased by high humidity. So, if we live in hot and humid parts of the world there are certain strains that we should avoid. There are also strains that are absolutely ideal for balmier climates.

 

Sour Diesel 

 

Sour Diesel is a famous and powerful strain that is not only extremely strong but very popular amongst hot weather growers. She was created by crossing Original Diesel with Hawaiian, Northern Lights and Shiva. You’d be hard-pressed to find another strain with such a fantastic genetic background. This strain does its best work in warmer more tropical climates. She produces dense resinous buds but stretches well so is less likely to trap moisture in her leaves. The effect is uplifting, cerebral, powerful and relaxing. She is often used by those suffering from stress or depression and is perfect for anyone looking for a creative and motivational lift. Her THC level usually sits around 19% which means she is strong without threatening to completely melt brains. Sour Diesel is well known for her flavour and aroma which are acidic, earthy and powerfully herbal with a background of diesel. She has a flowering time of 10 – 11 weeks and can be grown indoors or outdoors.

 

Durban Poison

 

This is a special South African strain that naturally grows well in heat and humidity. She is also resistant to mould and pests which means she can handle a little extra moisture.

It also makes it a fantastic daytime strain both for recreational and medicinal use. Durban Poison is thought to be one of the easiest strains to grow. She pretty much takes care of herself but will need checking in on to make sure she is thriving happily. Her scent and flavour are a mix of aniseed and cloves with a twist of spice. Though Durban Poison is predominantly Sativa it resembles and Indica when it grows. She has a very short flowering time of 8 – 9 weeks and can grow indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse.

 

Tutankhamon

 

This high yielding hot weather strain will thrive in the sun and the heat. She also deals well with high levels of humidity and is resistant to mould and fungus. However, if possible reduce the heat around her towards the end of flowering to increase the bright blue colour of the flowers. She has a sweet and fruity taste that is both exotic and slightly floral. Her effect is relaxing, long-lasting and powerful. This makes her a fantastic recreational strain as well as an amazing medicinal strain. She is usually used by those who are suffering from extreme stress.

Tutankhamon has a flowering time of 60 days and can be grown either indoors or outdoors.

 

Jack Herer

 

Most growers will know the name Jack Herer, whether it be because of this amazing strain or its historically significant namesake.

The best part of her is that she is completely effortless to grow in a hot climate. Jack Herer is an uplifting and cerebral strain that is also long-lasting and powerful. Her THC level usually sits at around 20 – 21% meaning that she can be a little overpowered for new smokers.
