I'll post some pics today as I finally got a day off work...I took a job selling booze at a liquor store and work four 12 hour days, kinda rough while trying to get plants to harvest. I'll work the job for a bit, save a little cash and then quit. :)

update:

these gals are close to harvest:

Royal Hawaiian x Sweet Tooth (mostly a sativa but go figure that it is finishing so quick) BTW she is my prettiest and stickiest plant with pink and purple pistils and nice full buds. She's in the GH. This strain did well in all the crazy temps here and no matter what happens (lack of water, high or low temps) she always has her leaves angled for the sun and perked up..even in the freakin night. I love those plants that have that trait no matter what they face.

Power Kush (from Dinefem): a tiny straight indica plant that I stuck out on a dirt pile. The breeder claims a 50 day flower time and that seems about right. It will be a very small yielder but I hope the quality of the smoke makes up for that. I think PK would be better for an indoor grow where space is limited.
====================================
Bubba Shines are very slow to flower up and one plant is way behind. I may lose one after last night as she has always been a bit weak and sickly which I isolated outdoors away from the others. For the ones that are budding there is zero smell from them. I do not think they dig the cold up here...or possibly the elevation. They have a looong way to go to finish. Patience is a virtue.

Afghani #1 from Sensi: 100% indica and I bought these seeds for two reasons: their early finishing time (50-55 days) and for their strong indica qualities. Sadly my two plants are far from finishing and 50 days has long passed. They are big plants (for 100% indica's), have lots of branches but lack smell and the buds are loose and scattered. They do not exhibit the typical indica look as their appearance seems to lean more towards a sativa strain. Odd.

DJ Shorts Vanilluna: I have 3 of these and so far I am not impressed with them. They do not even resemble a typical mj plant, with odd leafs (very mutant-like), peculiar bud growths, limpy and few pistils and zero smell. They claim 50-60 days to harvest and that won't be happening either. It appears this will another strain that will be a low yielder. While in veg, I took 2 clones off them and put them in little 2 quart pots and just let them go in in my sunroom 24/7 and they are doing much better than the ones in the GH. I think this strain might do better indoors. I am a bit discouraged on their outcome so far but I'll stay hopeful that they kick into high gear and deliver.

The sun is up and I'll be heading out to check for damage and further thin out some leaves to reduce any mold issues. If some are close to being ripe, I may have to give them the knife and hang them. In the GH I have 4 strains in 5 gallon buckets and I may move those ones into the sunroom with the other 3. Me thinks my sun-room is gonna be a bit crowded. Peace out!

...more when I post pics

note: These are my honest observations. I mean no disrespect towards any breeders by my comments. Growing in this climate and elevation does has its restrictions and problems and it is an ongoing challenege to find the best strains that grow in this area. Id also like to note that I am far from an expert MMJ grower and have been doing the best I can with what I got.
