The buds with the intense pink hairs is the Guava Kush, it has a very unique look to it. It's the plant on the right in pic #9.
these are some insane looking buds man... i think i saw thousands of pictures of buds @ that development stage but yours have a real distinct look to them;)great looking product dude... i'm positive id be able to push it (if i had to...:)) for twice it's value just cause of its looks... depending on how it drys up...:D which strains should i be looking for to get that look?
hey blaze, looking stellar !congrats on the hard work man.

Some of the color gets retained when it dries but unfortunately much of the intensity gets lost. However to me by far the most unique thing about this strain is the intense guava-like smell - I really wish there was some way to do a scratch-n-sniff over the forums lol. Almost nothing else I have encountered has such a pungent, overpowering and unique smell to it; the crazy look is just an added bonus. Not all the phenos are like this one though, about 25% of the F1 generation and 50% of the F2 generation have normal white looking hairs.
To get that sort of look outside just takes time and lots of trial and error IMO. You have to find what strains really thrive in your micro-climate and that takes usually at least a couple of season. So far most of the best ones I have found have been either sourced locally, or came from my own breeding experiments. There have been exceptions to that though - like the Sour Diesel and the Blueberry x Northern Lights. Another thing I've noticed is that often strains that do really well inside won't do so great outdoors. There have been a few times I've tried strains that looked and smoked AMAZING when done inside but looked like shit when you did the same cut outside. I've seen it go the other way too - that Mendo Pineapple is one of my all time favorite strains ever, but indoors, it comes out very sub par. Pretty much anything in my garden has that look though, it's an important factor.
How you process it really makes a big difference as well. Most outdoor growers are super rough on their buds when they harvest it. Tossing it in huge piles on tarps on the ground, lugging it around in giant sacks, running it through a twister trimmer, that sort of stuff... By the time it's all finished being handled like that, you've knocked off damn near half the trichomes. I always try to be very gentle when I harvest and dry, and IMO it definitely makes a big difference in the end.
Thx dude! We still aren't done yet though, the hardest part is still to come.
good answer man. thnx;)
It still intrigues me that you've got no air conditioning, what do you do when its 100* outside LOL.

Blaze, got them from delae, he put them in an auction here on the farm to help Logic out after he got jacked. they performed very well in a very hostile enviroment which was the ozarks this year. i had given them up for dead cause of lack of water but they pulled through just fine.Hey thanks for stopping by guys. The weather this year was great for outdoor in Cali, almost everyone I know had a bumper crop. All the vineyards are reporting record harvests as well. I just hope we get some rain again here and don't have a repeat of last years dry hot winter!
Mo - where did you get your Mango from? I came across an amazing cut of it the very first year I grew - some of the best tasting bud EVER. Sadly I have never been able to find it since. I did get two cuts of what was supposed to be the same thign this year but they were so badly mite infested, and showing signs of pre-flowering, so they ended up in the compost pile. I have seen quite a few other 'mango' strains like the ones from KC, but none of them were like that first one. It tasted almost exactly like fresh mango, amazing stuff!
Ok, sort of fell off the face of the planet for a while there. Been busy with harvest and other projects, plus I have been without internet for the last month or so. Harvest is wrapping up but I did remember to snap a few pics here and there as the plants came in. More bud shots to follow once they are trimmed and cured.
Overall things went very smoothly this year other than a few employee issues, and the weather we have had during fall was the best in five or six years. We had very little rain and mold and mildew were minimal, a nice change from last years insanely wet fungus ridden fall.
