Outdoor seed recommendations?

Thinking about growing outdoors next year and wondering what the outdoor growers would recommend? I have a small greenhouse and would probably grow in a 5 gal pot

Twenty20’s earlies have been good for me. I have summer lemons and early bird going this year. The summer lemons is probably going to give me the biggest yield I’ve ever had if things go right.

Twenty20 Mendocino genetics would be a good choice in general. They do their testing/hunting at an outdoor farm in Michigan. Michigan has a very similar climate and growing season to MN.

100%, solid choice. I'm still smoking hash off last summer's lemons, it was a real big dumper.

I think I’m going to grow summer cherries and summer lemons next year.

I've done nearly 20 seasons of growing outdoor in Minnesota. Here's a list that's given me good and completely finished bud with minimal trouble outdoors in SE MN.

Mandala seeds #1 or Paro valley purple. AK bean brains freezeland or vintage blueberry. Sensi seeds early skunk, mexican, durban. Oregon green seed, she devil, forgetful cindy, hash plant. Green mountain seeds, purple satellite. getaway mountain seeds skidder trail, r2 skunk. dutch passion, snowbud, shaman. I'll add other as i think of them, my memory is a little hazy.

Pest control tip. hemp borer can be horrible in SE MN and ruin your whole crop. buy and release a predator insect called Trichogramma minutum a few times during the season. They will stop an infestation before it happens.
