i would say manatusk strains would be ideal, i have the thunderfuck(more indica) hybrid as permitted by WA state DOH for my personal medical consumption, and then theres manatusk mint.
manatusk tundra is a linear strain from, manatusk alaska. there is a sister strain as well, but they are built to last in 60-75 easy, they stay minimal with the leafs and stand around 4' tall, with dense bud formation.
because of their alaskan heritage they are accustomed to rich soil/heavier nutrients.
also, the NL strains should handle some chilly weather and maybe show off some more color because of that. both manatusk and northernlights stay squatty and yield in 55-65 days, even with some sativa thrown in.
the lower 40's would be pushing it, because of this it seems one would have to be extra attentive to other factors, but all MJ plants really like a 15 F decline over night, so if that worked in the equation it could be nice, the growth will be slower for sure, but all is good with patience.
they would need to be popping soon if seeds to ideally veg through out this shorter sun cycle.

well then why o/d? i dont know, i guess it could be worth trying, but MJ thrives on a tight schedule and consistency, so you might mess around and turn youre girlie into a boy, or a hermie.

just a thought, but do you think you could extend the life-cycle of the plant by a season by sprouting one of those hardier strains in the winter and letting it stretch into springtime? seems like that might give you the full use of the Spring/Summer sun if it could be done.

thats what i was implying, in that temperate of a climate if planted at the right time, that sounds reasonable with such a strain. i would love to experiment with this, and have thought about using manatusk in door but in a 'mud room', which would be between 40-50 F through the winter here, with a hotter 250WHPS bulb, instead of CFL grow lights.
the light cycles in alaska are notorious, so that lineage can be in 24 hour sun the last week or two(tuff stuff) and is accustomed to a shorter life cycle, but the lengthy vegetative time would be nothing but beneficial as long as all other elements are optimal.
