G'day my fellow Callaway/californian orange lovers...

I am deeply sorry for not having any updates for a while. We switched ISP's and although it was only suppose to take 7-14 days, it actually took 30 days the lying cheeky buggers.But is a 10 x better plan than our last ISP, so well worth the wait.

And just because our internet stopped, doesn't mena I stopped. I have continued to take pics. I have harvested the Callaways a few days ago. And trimmed the California x Bubblicious last night. All are in dry rack. I will update dry weights, plant pics, harvest pics and dry bud pics with in the next couple of days. We also have a whole heap of trim and popcorn from each strain to do a bubble run either today or tomorrow. So I will take some pics of that aswell. Once I do this last update, I will then give a grow report and a smoke report.
I am very impressed with the yeild and qaulity of both these strains. Can't wait for that frist smoke.
They Callaways still smell so strongly of Green unripened mangoes-absolutely stunning aroma.
And the California Oj x Bubblicious smells like the outside of a canteloupe/rock melon (the skin) With maybe a bit of BO and a certain floral sweetness. Very nice and quite intoxicating and very moorish on the nose. I am in luuurrvvv for sure.
Can't wait to till it's had a nice cure. I have had a quick dried bud and it definetly packs a punch at the moment though...

WOODIE-they look crazy don't they, and they just get crazier looking the more the grow.Post some pics and keep the thread going as yours if you want. Sharing is caring, lol.


TTYAL with pics ;)

G'day to all... Well, we are finally finished. The California Oj x Bubblicious is still having a cure so I will update on taste/smell/smoke with in the next few days. So far still smells the same as last described.

But the Callaway Blue has completely done like a 360dg turn in smell. It used to smell EXACTLY like green unripened mangoes. But after a nice jar cure, it no longer smells sweet. But more like Bay Leaves and Sage mixed together with a hint of pepper at the end(smell only and 3 others agreed to this opinion aswell). Unusually though, the taste is still quite mangoeish with strong herb accents/notes. Not a bad smoke at all imo. I'd give it about a 7/10 for high and a 6/10 for the lastness of the high. Has been known to get me pondering around the house looking for things to do. And increases my appetite alot, not that thats a bad thing for someone like me in the low 50kilo range, lol.
I'd give them both a 10/10 growing indoors aswell.

Yeah, we were suppose to pull at about 8 weeks but got busy with others and let her go closer to 9 weeks. I like 20-30 % amber. But I am a indica lover through and through, so the more amber the better for me.
Show us some pics pretty please when she's dried/cured.... ;)

D'oh...for the 2 Callaway's I got just under 4.5oz with the biggest girl yeilding 3.05oz.

And the California Oj x Bubblicious I got 3.75oz. The biggest girl yeilded just on 2oz.

Very impressed indeed.

I also apologize for the delays, I had a car accident about 12months ago and am in between dentists visits at the moment which seem to be taking forever. It hasn't been pleasant, but the dentist is still my friend, lol. I don't think he like's me too much though, especially after what I said during 2 tooth extractions, I didn't mean to. It was just an immediate reaction and I said sorry straight afterwards :)

Thanks Guy's. I still have some beans left of both these strains. Next time I will be taking clones, especially of the Californian Orange. And you can definetly taste that oj peel taste on the exhale. And it lingers for a litlle bit too. Very nice and in my top 10 Fav Strains(although that list is always changing, lol).

Have a merry, safe Christmas ppls ;)
