Hello all,

Not the biggest crop in the world but she was very pretty for an outdoor girl worked indoors. So I will enter my first grow and best nug from it.

Strain: Royal Haze from Dinafem Sativa Dom.
Indoor, soil, Harvested at 15-20% Amber

Nug weight 1.4 g Dry

This month we have Lamb's Bread.
This LB, was grown strictly for anxiety, stress, and depression. And I must say that LB has that, hands down. VERY clean high, introspective, creative, comes on slow, gentle as a lamb, then it just keeps coming like a soft gentle spring rain. At its peak, it had me singing out loud, belting "Turn The Page" (Bob Seger's) in front of 12 people sitting around the campfire. Later, I picked up the bongos and started a drum circle, laughing at the kids dancing around the campfire under the waning full moon. Good times were had by all. When it left, it was as if Lady Lamb's Bread had never visited: No crash, no burn-out, just a feeling of bliss.

On inquiry the next morning, no one had any bad results to share, at all, and I even had some compliments. Even during the day, this one makes a good stress-off, and mood lift, without the racy, screaming, panic usually associated with a strong sativa. 2 hours later everyone was clear enough to drive to their respective places, leaving us there with the owner of the property, and silence.

A word of caution:
I quick-dried 3.5g so we would have something to share when we arrived and had the rest in a paper bag. The quick dry is something that should NEVER be done on this lovely lady. When you force her to perform before she's ready, she is very harsh in what she does, and it is over quickly, leaving you a bit disappointed. But the 3-day dry was much better, and had a good smooth smoke, and a little of a creeper high.

This mother is definitely going to stay with me for a long while, as she did exactly what I groomed her for... Depression was nil, stress melted away, and as you can tell from my singing outburst, anxiety was non-existent.

Harlequin GDB
Outdooor Grown From "Medicinal Organic Nursery" Seed Stock

Hi everyone in Nugget Land!

Don't have any ultra close-ups or microscope shots this time. Just a closely groomed nugget from the first of four seed grown plants that I recently harvested. This Harlequin/Grand Daddy Blueberry cross produced plants that reached just under 8 feet in height and 5 feet around at harvest. Each plant yielded between 3 and 3.5 ounces of dried, closely manicured bud like the example pictured below.

This specimen measures just under 4 inches long by about 2.6 inches wide and is very, very dense. Also "extremely" sticky! A real "scissors gummer" of a crop! A wonderful bouquet as well! Very similar in aroma to M.O.N's Blue Cheese strain, but with a bit more fruity notes.

A sampled bud from a lower branch that broke off this same plant several weeks back clearly indicated a very impressive CBD level as compared to all my other usual strains. The medicinal effects from even the early test bud was truly unique and unlike anything I have personally ever tried over the last 30 years of Cannabis use. (See my journal for more info and a photo history of this grow from seed to harvest) I plan to send some of this stuff out to the lab for confirmation in the next few weeks.

For those not yet familiar with Harlequin... It is considered to be one of the highest CBD strains on the planet, with CBD percentages 5-10 times higher than the majority of strains currently available.

Thought all the nug lovers out there might enjoy seeing what outdoor, "Mountain Grown" Harlequin looks like close up!

Thanks in advance for your support, and good luck to everyone entered this month!

I submit my personal grown outdoor SFV OG Kush, this socal valley phenotype has flourished through over 100 degree temperatures until it was cut down, which makes for some very hard hitting, and skunky smoke. This is the stuff you can smell from blocks away. The high is especially cerebral and optimistic, yet levels out very quickly to a confusing couchlocked buzz. It is sativa dominant with each trichome being half amber/half clear and cloudy.

 

[ilikebike]

Strain Unknown Taste like pine and cinnamon Aroma Smells like black pepper and soap Potency Lots of thricromes, let them get 25% amber before i cut down the plant. Cured it for 2 weeeks. Effect gave me a hybrid like high. Strong body stone with heavy eye lids yet still very thought provoking. Started this plant indoors and then moved it outdoor in july.

Nice Gitter!

Looks similar to the M.O.N. Purple Diesel clone that I am growing for the first time this season. Not exactly the same, but close in terms of the location of the purple pigment on the inner bud leaves.

Thanks Goose! Your entry looks great too! What I like best about these buds are they only cost me about 20 bucks to grow!

for your consideration this month i have my White Widow X Big Bud cross ,breeder =Female seeds, grown in my organic soil blend with BPN Farmers Pride organic 7 part line along with some various brewed tea's (worm castings,compost,azomite,etc) i had zero pests/problems with her she was easy and fun to grow, very aromatic(one stinky chick), very frosty and potent! the smoke is classic white widow with bigger yield due to the big bud influence, vegged for several months (she was a mother for a while and flowered for 8 weeks exactly harvested at approx 15% amber and yielded 5oz.
a nice social fun high,not very effective for pain (for me anyway) but a joy to grow and work with.beautiful and most definitly will be keeping her around for a long while and im likely to use her in several crosses .
this nug weighs 6 gm and was my favorite eye candy
