When does Spring come around these parts? I'm still waiting.

We generally don't have "Spring", or much of it, anyway. The weather flip-flops between summer & winter for awhile, then just goes full summer.

Yeah that's what I gathered watching the calendar and weather patterns. I'm used to that in NorCal yet it stabilizes much sooner. Anyway is what it is.

Keep in mind Denver is a mountanious desert. WHile NorCal i quite similar it is located right next to the ocean so weather is much more forgiving there.

Lovin' the rain and the 160% snowpack this year!

beautiful plant.

 

[JohnnyATL]

Here is one from last year, and here is another from this year with the greenhouse

Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail!

 

[CaliGabe]

Here's one of the Purple Pantera testers that leans towards Grape Krush...definitely grapey! Very solid and may make the cut. We'll see how she smokes.

That is an absolutely beautiful plant, CaliGabe.

It's purple so it has to be good! lol. Anyway true purple with colored calyxes and not just the leaves which would get trimmed off. A lot of grapey strains seem to lose that smell after cutting and only comes back after a good cure. We'll see. Super nice resin coverage on this and the other pheno. A few other purple strains showing well also.

The Herat has an AMAZING terpene profile and haven't smelled anything like that in a long time...very old school. Looking forward to that one dusted with the Petrolia Headstash.

Have to agree on the purple, but never seen anything quite like that plant. Would be nice in the garden even without the THC.

^^ holy shit that's gorgeous. I dont think i've ever seen something like that. it looks sort of like sandstorm or something. You should definitely crack more beans from that same run and see if there's any real rare stuff!

 

[MHBGuy]

Was that purple right from sprouting, CaliGabe, or did it change as it aged?

It turned purple pretty fast. I like the #2 pheno a bit better as the buds are tighter yet terpene profile more subdued. Also doesn't have the purple calyx expression which I like. We'll see how they cure up.

This is not an exciting pic...from about a 2' tall from seed pre-Soviet invasion Afghani. Had my friend take some cuts and may run 1 this year. Gonna get pollinated with the Petrolia male. Also had him take cuts of a Cheese x AK47 and that line very stable from seed. He tested like 20 and pretty much the same.

This coolish May weather may slow the melt, reduce flooding. If it jumps up to clear skies & hot weather real quick, that'll be a problem.

A local friend's little light dep. I'll provide some updates when it gets interesting. Can't remember what he plugged in the other day. Took a bit of a beating the last few days yet will turn around soon.

Everything will soon get trained sideways into some HortoNova to fill in the available canopy area.

All this talk about spring makes me wonder. I have put out my clones in a car-port style green-house over the last week. I felt releived about being so late in my digging when the snow came elieviate all my fears.

But i just found out that the guy i gave a hermied purple widow (this strain is VERY touchy on hermies) to planted it straight into lousy SoCo untreated clay on April 18th. That stupid thing has partly budded, turned almost black from the purps, has never shown another sign of nanners (we pinched them after collecting pollen), and is showing signs of trying to go back into veg.

I thought he was going to watch it for more nanners, not plant it outside the next day. It isn't too pretty of a plant but not really bad concidering. I will get pics as soon as i get my new computer.
I am seriously curious about what this thing might do next.

Chalk Creek is running like a freight train, and the mountain tops are getting darker.

Tongue in cheek; Spring May be here.

Had gropel here yesterday however.

Did I miss the Mother's Day Hatch, or has it even happened yet?

 

[JohnnyATL]

[who dat is]

Get some! I was floating down the arkansas today and it was awesome. Running somewhere around 2200 right now.
