You know your living the life when you can legally grow plants your size & enjoy a cuppa at the same time without fear of neighbours

Is all of Canada legal now ( am in uk )

This years crop:

Strawberry Cough (seed from a store bought oz from Tweed)

Blueberry Headband (4th gen..may have been accidentally crossed with GDP, original seed was from Barney’s)

French Macaroon x Grape Gas (my own concoction, F1 hybrid that I’m back crossing with my FM pollen).

Blueberry HeadbandxGrape Gas (F1-also back crossing with BbHB pollen)

Florida Lemons (also probably contaminated with GDP pollen as daddy)

Crescendo (bought clone from Fire, seed origin unknown)

Will post more photos soon

Blueberry Headband.
Was runty all summer so, I really half-assed the LST.
Started to pop when I put her on a drought cycle so, I suspect that the runtymess was due to over watering, soil being too heavy.
Smells good but low on trikes and buds look light.
Chop day Sunday as I’m down to 8ish hours of light and cold temps increase mould/PM risk.

These were grown from 20 year old seeds that I pulled out of a drawer in 2019.
Tasted like peaches/melons with a bit of funk.
I’ve managed to keep some of the genetics going through crosses but the mothers all died a few years ago unfortunately

Strawberry Cough.

Probably should’ve thinned this out a bit more.
Looks like it’s probably an 11 weeker but have to chop on Sunday, I should’ve started forcing 2 weeks sooner.
Smells great but similar to the BBHB, trikes and bud density are lacking

Here in or near the Emerald Triangle we have about a month or more to go. It is still a problem when rain makes it too humid.

Dude.
That’s sick. I used to watch videos of some mendo bros growing massive trees like that.

Grape Gas x French Macaroon

Heavy top colas, decent trikes, smells like grape kool aid.
I back crossed a cut of Thai with my remaining FM pollen that I grew off a seed from a buddy’s harvest a few years ago.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to maintain some genetics on this one but I wish I had taken a clone.

Crescendo from a retail store called Fire.
Not sure about the breeder origin.
I really went the full distance on this one and really half assed it.
Looks like it could’ve been really nice.
Didn’t bother crossing this with anything.
Tons of bud sites, decent density, good trikes and smells like bubblegum.
