Well, i couldn't get online, it was too risky, because i was under suspicion during the investigation and MIB followed me also outdoors, but now it's closed due to failing evidence:smoking:

What a shame i'm out...

damn!

**Official Pics Update**

Don't seem to be commenting much this year, feel a bit withdrawn ya know.

But anyway, still loving my garden and here's my 3 autos at day 67.

Stitches Love Potion - aka Casanova

Barneys Pineapple Express - aka Nanas

Dutch Passion Autocompassion CBD Lime - aka Limey

Limey is growing vigorously but not flowering. I emailed Dutch Passion and had a lovely conversation and they surprised me by saying they'd send some seeds. I was super stoked as that was not the intention of my email, it was purely to ask for advice. Thanks so much Dutch Passion!
New seeds arrived on Friday so I put one to bed in some fresh soil and hope to still get a harvest this strain. I may have to build a little lean-to or frame if the weather turns in September but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Obviously it won't be entered into the contest.

Oh and here's my non comp plant. Dutch Passion Auto Blueberry who is quite a runt but smells lovely.

Final group shot...

Cheers

I really want an Indica based CBD plant. With potent 50/50 strains, you still get a high and I'm not a big fan of a Sativa high. Its ok, but not what I'm looking for and most of the people who are using it agree. I feel,that an Indica CBD plant gives a broader spectrum of cannabinoids and medicinal values.
In fact though, I've been wondering, we've always been told that Indicas are the source of CBD, yet 70% of the available CBD strains are Sativa. Why??? lol.

I will say again though, this IS a very nice strain that is easy to grow and makes good medicine!

I have the same question

Starting yesterday, humidity has rocketed up to 80% RH and stayed there. Overnight temps of around 70F. Perfect Boytris weather............I'm chopping the rest of my plants today rather than risk bud rot. I'll post pics later and get final bud shots for the chosen buds of the CBD and Blue Dragon.

now there is a curve ya wanna be well ahead of!

Well, my instincts were right! I found just one spot of budrot starting in my Blue Dragon. I cut out the bud right away! The rest of the plant was fine, I checked closely as I trimmed and cut all colas down into just buds to be sure it can't continue.

So Blue Dragon is done and trimmed final plant pic and the contest live bud. The dry pic is going to be of a single bud, i HAD to do this to preserve my buds!

just one little spot, and we just gotta open her up to see wtf, glad there was no more funk!

She was a leafy bitch! A pain in the ass to trim!

Now, some observations on genetic expression.

I think people sometimes mistake genetic expression for phenotype expression. My Blue Dragon grows very differently outdoors compared to indoor. And I've seen more than one expression over the last three outdoor grows. I believe people sometimes mistake genetic expression for phenotype but they are quite different. environment can dictate how cannabis will grow, especially any strain with some Indica in them. Indicas come from an environment with unpredictable weather from one season to the next. They have adapted and will express the traits needed to survive the current years conditions. I've seen 5 different expressions in my Blue Dragon.

I've had this expression before in plants that got larger, FAT big cola with just s few side branches. Others were bushes. I had one that was a GIANT single cola almost 5 feet tall in a three a gallon pot, that was one giant cola!

Scent is different also, its even sweeter!
And the Black Dragon. She smells mildly stinky with a bit out citrus, UNTIL............. she starts drying usually. This one.....OMG Does she STINK! Dead skunk in the middle of the road....lol!

The CBD haze gets chopped shortly. here she is for the last time, in the raised bed. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this grow.
