Wow, great shot! Were the colours touched up or anything? That blue is astounding!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

No, thats just how the photos came out on my camera! I think its a mix of the lighting and the buds being kind of purple in real life.

Definetly a pretty plant, the leaves got really red just before i chopped them.

Where did you get your seeds? The blue is really cool. Wouldn't mind trying them out in my next grow.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They were gifted to me by a friend, I think from north atlantic seed co, but idk what strain.

I will say irl they look more purple than blue. The photo colors came out a lil odd. Still definetly a lovely plant :)

UPDATE: i figured out the strain. Is cherry garcia :)

Thanks! Absolutely beautiful plants. How do they taste?

I grew some strawberry cough awhile back that was some of the most flavorful weed I've ever had. We described it as Artic Berry as it tasted crisp, with lots of berry flavor in the finish . We let it mature at around 58% humidity for about 6-8 weeks after harvest, and it brought a tear to my eye. The only other shit I ever smoked was random unnamed kindbud from my local dealer - never had anything else. It was a paradigm shift in my life lol.

I'm trying to explore different flavor profiles, so if you've ever tried Starberry Cough. I'd love to hear your comparison between the two.

Oooo that sounds goooood. I had some stawberry cough live resin & it was a nice light berry flavor. I enjoyed it, but im guessing the freshly cured homegrown was even better.

I havent tried the bud in the photo, it just started drying yesterday & itsnt smokable yet. It smells gassy/skunky with a slight floral overtone. Im hoping it will get fruitier as it cures.

I think my favorite strain ive grown this year was tropacana cookies. It had this amazing fruity floral smell, like a box of fruit loops with more citrus. The high was nice and heady too. Im still sad i didnt get some seeds or clones from that grow.

[–] Alteon 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'd love to clone, but do it repeatedly you almost need 3-separate grow spaces and I can't justify that. Also because. I would be drowning in weed. I grow about once a year and I'm legit set for that entire year.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, cloning takes alot of dedicated space. I also cant justify turning every closet in my house into a grow space lol. I have been tempted tho.

Ive been thinking of getting some silver thiosulfate and making my own feminized seeds as an alternative to cloning. Keeping seeds on hand is much easier than clones lol

Wow! They are genuinely very beautiful. I would like to see more bouquets like this in the world. Pretty, and functional!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you! While I was making it I thought it could make a great gift. Open up a shop called smokeable arrangements lol

[–] kaklerbitmap 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those are gorgeous what a great shot. And Cherry Garcia lol great name for a strain. Hoping she smokes as good as she looks! 😀

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
