Hi BC, those colors in the C99xOregon 95 are so interesting to me. What do you think the color of those will be at harvest? I want to grow some of that cross myself bro! And I have the feeling that the smoke will be pretty good on that plant too. All your pictures look beautiful and the buds are really packing in the calyxes. Good work my friend.
I just got back from my trip to Virginia. I got a couple bags of Columbian there. One with seeds and I kept the seeds for you BC, at least some of them, but, I got hassled by the police for an open beer container, and as a result lost the seeded weed and the seeds. It's a long strange story, and it is not over yet, but I will fill you in on it later. So sorry my brother, no seeds.
I met some very cool Mexicans (and other Latinos) in a poor Virginia Beach neighborhood and I spent a long night of drinking with them and working on my Spanish. That was a blast. I asked around about the coca pura situation, and indeed I scored a small amount (2 grams) of the best I have ever had for $50. I mean Wow! Instant appreciation. I even met a very sexy Latina there, and yes, I got lucky with her!!!
The Police never found the coca, or the bag of unseeded Colombian. They found the little bag of seeds and that Colombian and so they never really looked any further. Thank God. I was not charged with anyting but drinking a single beer in public and for that sin I had to spend the night in their shit jail. I was only supposed to spend 4 hours in jail, but because I raised so much hell they made me stay about 8 hours. They took all my cash and put it in a safe, I would not be allowed to get that until the next business day and they released me in downtown Norfolk with No Money, too far from my hotel in Virginia Beach, and no car. They let me out of jail about two hours after I missed my early Saturday flight back home. I spent the whole day trying to get home on standby. I didnt sleep a wink in that jail cell, nor all day at the airport (on standby). It took a deep drain out of me. When I finally go home I slept like a rock. The lesson is that Norfolk and Virginia Beach police are deffinately pigs. I am really mad about losing those seeds, as they have become so valuable in this day and age. All's well that ends well, and I am now home. On a good note last week I was hired for a very good paying job in Washington, a town on the Canadian Border so I doubt that I will be going to Virginia any time soon and I am not having to move to Ohio (although I was interested in the weed situation there, but it would be better to just fly to Ohio for a visit than to live there. Same with Virginia, as if I ever go back it will be on my nickel. I think it would be a nice place to visit there, and I want to score that high test coca again.

If they follow the trends of their C99 parents, they will dry to a vivid electric purple.

I have never seen or smoked any bud with any blues or purple in it. I did smoke some Blueberry, but the buds where greenish brown with no purples or blues in them. I am exited about trying the colorful stuff, but I would pass on the blueberry. In my opinion weed should not taste or smell like coolaide. It was okay smoke outside the smell though. I smoked some real Colombian this week and that was a treat. It reminded me of the old days. I would love to get some more of that.

Thanks guys!

newrandude- I rarely get a ton of purple in the OR95 buds, its mostly the leaves that get the color strong, with just tinges in the buds.
I like Blueberry, but maybe the ones I've tried wasn't as strong in flavor as the one you tried. Bubble gum is another good one, very high quality in my opinion.

The weather
The weather is continuing to be cool, we are predicted to have a high in the 60s today, and low 70s the rest of the week. Its not real serious about it, but rain could come today in small amounts.
Watering isn't a big necessity anymore, although I'd like to get out and just give a light feeding.

I've pretty much reached the end of the bud I forced flowered this Spring/Summer, my father and my freind and I smoked a mixture of the last crumbs and a few immature buds the Rats chopped of my C99 x OR95 plants last night, the C99 x OR95 actually seemed to have a pretty good kick to it. I also got my mirror out and shook the shake from my forced stuff through a screen to collect some decent hash, that stuff definately worked, after smoking a little of it the 3 beers I drank felt more like 9.

I hope I can get out sometime soon and feed the plants, and collect a few of the older looking buds to get me by until the main harvests start. Plus I'd like to see my plants, its been more than a week.

...liking those purple pistils!!! Plants are looking good. Let's hope for good weather to finish this year. It's 50 degrees and 69% humidity outside right now (almost noon)!

Happy growing - Butte

Backcountry,
Great looking buds. very tasty looking. Your living proof that hard work, careful planning and maybe just a touch of good fortune will pay off.

Congratulations BC , pretty pretty ladies !

Excuse me for my ignorance but what is the genetic of OR95 ? OR is it for Oregon ?

The OR95a looks huge and dank !

By the way, let me thank you and show you some respekt for all the good threads about guerilla irrigation, photoperiod, soil texture & ph that helped so much ppl like me.

Butte- Yeah, I hope more warm sunshine comes our way before summer is completely gone, but Autumn has been impatient to get herself established since mid-August here, and in much of Nor-Cal too it seems, stay away mold!! Good luck with the rest of your season, I love to se those Califronia medical grows!

elevate and Ancient one- Thankyou so much! I hope to see you guys here next year, of course i won't be going anywhere for the Winter, I'll be right here posting away, I'm obcessed!

Lambsbreath- OR95 is a family heirloom strain if you will, one that has been passed down to me from my father.
Oregon 95' represents the stabilised final result of many years of collecting good bag seed. My family originally lived in the San Francisco bay area of California, starting in the mid-70s my father started growing small patches of bag seed collected from the best smoke available there at the time(remember this is during the age of the Emerald Triangle in Nor-Cal, otherwise known as the first Golden age). These seeds were from bud grown in Humbolt/Mendocino counties and the rest of Nor-Cal, as well as possibly various Thai, Mexican, and Columbian buds that were commonly available at that time.

In the early 80s my family moved to South-western Oregon, a area that boarders and mirrored the Cannabis scene in Nor-Cal. Not long after we moved here my father recieved seeds taken from a bag of strong local bud. It was apparently a compact, Indica dominated variety that was being grown commercially in Greenhouses by many in the local area, I now suspect that it may be one in the same with another local strain from back then called "Tiller Killer", now available rarely from small breeders online as "Oregon90".
My father crossed his California bud to this Oregon bud, the result was backcrossed for about 10 years(and continues...), we named it Oregon 95 when we felt it was stable, the names similarity to Oregon 90 is pure coincidence.

I suspect the genetics are mostly Hindu Kush and Afghani, and I suspect that Mexican would be the next biggest influance, but for the most part the plants appear and act like Indica.

I really like the smell and flavor of the OR95, I guess many years of smelling my father smoke it when I was a child influanced my adult taste for it. I would describe her smell as a type of "sweet skunk", not much rotten or fecal nuances like many other skunks.
The high is about a 7 on the scale, I've had stonger, but she is very reliable. The high is peacefull on the mind, and works well for shaking out the aches and kinks, very nice.

A big reason I like growing her is the fact she is very well aclimated to our area, she will harvest before the worst mold of most seasons, and usually resists it until then. Half of the females turn a rainbow of colors in the weeks right before harvest, Orange, Purple, Red, and Yellow.
I enjoy crossing her to other strains, always looking for a potential new strain for growing in my area.

This year was a attempt to see how big I could grow her in a Guerrilla plot, she did OK for a plant that was never meant to get very large, but after this I will go back to smaller plants.

And thankyou, I like posting threads explaining subjects that might be confusing, or unknown to some growers, it often is a education for me doing the reseach for those threads as well. I will be working on more as winter comes on and things slow down around here.

Back to smaller plants??? Say it aint so! :D

How do you plan on doing that.... Just watering less?

Sorry to hear about the rat trouble....

Plots look like they're doing well though, BC! Nice shots!

Nice looking plants BC...look like they could get BIG if proper conditions were provided.
I guess this is what I tried to do this year. I grow mostly on hilly locations with nutrient poor soils, so I dug 30 gallon holes and ammended heavy. I also put my plants in more open locations with lots more sunshine than I usually do.

The main weak link as usual is the dryness, pretty much no rain falls for me for the entire summer, 99% of all moisture is brought by me alone.
If I could grow these plants right in my vegetable garden, I am sure I could grow them into pound plus plants, especially with the very improved soil and water availability I have there, it makes all the difference!!

Well, I started all the larger plants indoors on Febuary 14th this year, next year I won't start until early April(unless I get a wild hair again). Not getting this early start will be a big reason why I will have smaller plants. Most of my plants fast veg growth happens in May and June when spring rains still fall, and growing is easy for them, if I can put large plants out at that time I have more of a chance of ending up with really large plants in summer.

On a interesting side note, I have figured that in my climate, I have to give about 10-15 gallons of water through the summer for each ounce of bud I harvest in October, this is regardless of size of the plants, I could yield 40 oz from 10 4oz plants, or from 40 1oz plants, but it will still take 400 to 600 gallons of water to do it.

As a guerrilla grower in a dry Summer climate, water is my biggest limiting factor, it rules all my planning.

Backcountry i agree watering yourself is a bitch, i only have 5 plants to tend to and they're in buckets so if it didn't rain during those hot summer months i found that they needed to be watered at least twice a week until water came out of the bottoms otherwise they were very unhappy. You on the other-hand have many more plants then i do and i give you props for taking water to your ladies and making sure they got the water, attention, and care they needed. I could only imagine the gallons and gallons of water you had to lug. Isn't it worth the work when at the end of the season you have copious amounts beautiful buds? Still i understand while your actually lugging the water all you can think to yourself is "this ****ing sucks!" Once again i give you props on the great guerilla grow, its been fun peeking in on this thread... so much info and so many great pic's. Thanks backcountry, good luck with the harvest and next year i'll be looking for the outdoor thread and regardless if they're big or small it'll still be great.

Peace :joint:

Well the weather were I am living in Washington is definately fall. The green beans we are growing are now turning brown, but not the maples yet. They are nice and green. It was about 40 degrees this morning with overcast, and this afternoon it rained. I am moving way up north near the Canadian border Sunday. I passed my drug test, and that was even after all that fun I had Friday. (I smoked lightly most of last week, and the other stuff only stays in your system 3 days I am told. Also, I have been sort of fasting, and that may have had something to do with it too, but I passed.. One other thing.. It was 4:00 in the afternoon when I had my test, and I think all the strong chemicals were washed out during the day). Anyway, I am going to be in the BC bud area for buying I guess. I will make the best of it lol. Up there we get more snow and colder weather than where I am at now. I hate winter too. I do not mind visiting a cold place to ski or go four wheeling, but hate to spend that many months in the cold. No choice now, I accepted the contract. Funny thing too, right after passing my drug test and getting 100% accepted for that new position one of my old employers called and asked if I wanted a gig in Singapore. It was would have been an awesome gig, but I cant screw over the other place. This happens after being unemployed and broke all summer. Stay green and prosper (spirtually that is)

HM#1 update!

HM#1 update!

I took some water out to HM#1 C99 x OR95 yesterday-

I have not been needing to go as often since the weather cooled down so much, it had been a while since I have seen much of my girls.
HM#1 looked pretty good, I trimmed alot of leaves out of her to try and free up the buds to the sun and air a bit, the super bushy growth she did this year seems like a mold risk to me, but none so far.
I took a small hand full of some of the more mature buds to get me by until the main harvest starts, also to help open the bud sites up.

I put the smallest buds in the food dehydrator on med-heat so I could smoke some before bed to try her out. I fell asleep early and she dried all night(damn!) until she was ultra crispy. I tried some of the mis-treated bud this morning and it got me lifted, not spectacular, but definatly good for mis-dried early harvested bud.

I don't really mind watering the plants, its not too bad. Its more the distance I need to travel to get to the locations I grow in, it can be a big chunk out of my time every week to travel to all the plots.
I wouldn't even mind the time it takes if watering Cannabis was all I did for a living, but I have other responsibilitys I need to devote time to as well, I'd just love to have the option to skip going to the plots once in a while, and to insure that the plants will live even if I don't see them for a month or so.
A plant wouldn't last 2 weeks without water in most of my growing locations.

I hope things go well for you newrandude!
