they will grow like mad outdoors, with pretty incredible color and terps, but if you live in an area with lots of leaf fall or sucking insects in the autumn, heads up, the cali blue can catch septoria pretty easily. Make sure you keep any fallen leaves cleaned out of her and keep an eye for sap sucking insects.
My breeding CB, and both rama's that got put outside all caught septoria. But him and me are in a festering septoria haven called Appalachia lmao. If you're out west though, the CB is prob a bucket list outdoor strain tbh. If i could... id have a grove of those outside just for the unbelievably tasty concentrates she gives. Its like blueberry pancakes and a glass of OJ.
