I would appreciate as much info and pics as possible. Such as flowering times, growth structure, taste and effect. What are some good crosses with this cut, as I don't having access to cuts?

CO Flo?
- Thread starter mellowfellow
- Start date
I have grown out three packs of DJ's flo over the years and smoked a couple of batches of Colorado flo in Denver area and honestly each seed pack produced a better keeper than the Co version.. though likely not as high yielding. So I would say skip the Co version and go right to the original. Think Rare Dankness has a sold OGxCo. Flo if you are sold on this cut though.
Thank you for taking the time to give me your opinion on the matter. Definitely looking for crosses without the chem or og in it. Have more than enough of those to sift through..
Here's the ones I could find (a couple do have some og and chem in them but are different enough I figured i'd list them anyways):
Rare Dankness:
Cosmic Temple - Colorado Flo x Neville's Wreck
Cannarado:
Terpinator - Colorado Flo x Super Silver Haze
Colorado Kush - Colorado Flo x The White
Rocky Dennis - Colorado Flo x Sour Dubble
Wonka Rox - Colorado Flo x Fruity Pebbles OG
I have had extracts made from the colorado flo and they have been extremely good tasting. Reminiscent of berries / peaches and cream / menthol incense. But that is all the experience I have with it.

Thank you Brelva! A couple of those you have listed I am looking into.
i was told by scott at rare dankness that he was pretty sure the "co flo" is part of the "flodica" line, i had previously thought it to be "temple flo" but i think the two are pretty closely related iirc.
anyhow, the flo im familiar with (in CO) is bushy, branchy, close node spacing and high yeilding, roots well. has done great for me in the past vegged under t5's then flowered using vertical bare bulb 1000w hps lites, 4 plants per lite

oh yeah...the skittles cut, she's my super dank, she's a 94 pheno I released, I brought her from AZ to CO in 2002, passed her around to a dozen growers, she's not to rare and def in the hands of a few thousand peeps in the Springs, Denver, and Ned/Ward, and FOCO areas, in fact the first dip in CO has her growing still, but he won't sell cuts. I still have her going after 21yrs, she rocks. Nothing compares to this pheno. Super Stony, better than GSC, GG4, SD, and others, she's rock hard outdoors and tastes like fruity candy, Fruity Pebbles in CO is a name she sells under sometimes...Look for the Skittles Clone, you won't be sorry.
Here's some info I was able to find on Flo:
Heaven's Stairway Catalogue:
Original Flo is a Sativa/Indica cross (60% Sativa, 40% Indica) with very Sativa phenotypic characteristics that also matures very early. The large, tight, spear shaped buds are made up of small, densely packed purple calyxes. The plants are taller and like to branch out. Indoors the buds are fully mature by the end of their sixth week. Outdoors the plant is a super producer when multi-harvested over a period of time. The first buds are ripe around the third week of September. About every ten days after that, new buds form and can be harvested through the end of November, if the plant can be kept alive that long. Therefore, "Flo" is ideal for greenhouse production. The motivational "high" produced by the "Flo" is quite unique, the flavor is like Nepalese Temple Hash. A most pleasant and enjoyable experience. (from HS catalogue circa 2002)

Growers' Experiences:
I've had Flo for a while now (grown a couple crops w/ her). As for the potency/high: Not much "body stone" at all, the high is pretty clear (meaning it's not confusing or stupefying like some), kinda "up" y'know -- makes you want to go and do things (not like my NL cross, that's couch-lock stuff).
Not real visual/hallucinogenic, and not the longest lasting stone (but certainly respectable - maybe stoned for ~an hour off 2 medium bong hits), but definitely worthwhile. Really unique, but not *the* most powerful stuff. I really like this one, although the yield is way down there compared to other strains. Hope you like her as much as I do.
I'd recommend this variety IF it isn't the only strain you'll be growing. I say this because she yields pretty low: small calyxes in small spear-shaped buds. This is definitely my lowest-yielding strain. But also the most unique. It really does taste like Nepalese hash. Also, the plant is beautiful to look at, dark maroon-colored stems w/ dark green leaves. Nice smell, too, not skunky or stinky at all, it's a very sweet floral kind of scent.
One of the big advantages to this strain is its primarily sativa heritage (I've heard varying reports: 60% sativa, 7/8 sativa, I don't know which is accurate). Nice high, really good morning weed, you know, you can wake n bake with this stuff without losing the whole day. I like to smoke first thing in the morning (sometimes), and this stuff is positively energizing. It's weird, the first time I smoked Flo, I almost thought I wasn't high -- the stone is VERY clear, not confusing or buzzy, no real 'body-stone' to it, just trippy, slightly visual, cerebral stimulation.
Another nice quality Flo has is her dwarf stature. She's mostly sativa, yet she finishes (in my room) at 2' or less. Pretty unusual for a sativa. I haven't grown Blueberry, so I can't compare the two. To repeat myself, I highly recommend Flo, as long as you're not counting on her to produce a bumper crop (she won't). I'd guess (just a guess, and I say this just 'cuz I bet you're wondering) she yields ~1/4 - 1/2 oz per 2' plant.
I planted Flo one time. It is very slow germination strain, so you better to wail about 7-10 days for the germination. Flo was a one of my favorite strain, especially taste, it really taste like Royal Nepal. High was like medium up-lifting high, very relaxing weed. Don't expect big yield from this strain. I grew both Blueberry and Flo. I think still Flo has better quality than Blueberry
I read somewhere (so who knows what its worth) that most, if not all, of that breeder's strains came from crossing Thai indica with a Thai sativa... The Blueberry, Flo, B.Velvet, are all supposed to be related--probably distant cousins from the same original crosses. Sorry no real facts.
I'm on my second Blueberry crop and first Flo crop. I'm one of the few people that do not like blueberry. Its strong, and has a unique taste. the plant yields pretty well, and the buds are kid of leafy. Lots of resin on the joint, sometimes after the first hit. The Flo's have thinner , more sativa like leaves. grows long, Superskunk looking buds, with lots of purple clusters, they mature very fast and have pretty big buds. I have been pleased with the growing performance.
Now the high... Flo is very strong, lots of resin like blueberry. Unfortunately , one toke is enough to tell you that this plant is 50% blueberry. Same taste but more intense. There's a peppery taste in addition. Flo is the better high and plant of the two, and finishes a week or two earlier than Blueberry. If you like the taste of purple indicas like blueberry you will love Flo. I am partial to the oranges, and sweet hash tastes.
Flo looks sativa like grows very well with big, long buds. The genetic makeup is unknown but 1 puff told me that it is 50% blueberry. The buds turn purple like Blueberry. Flo finishes very fast . it also has a noticeable pepper taste too. I like it , its a winner and will stay in my garden. I'm not crazy about the blueberry taste but I'm getting resin on the first puff! its pretty strong. Not a clear high, it kind of puts you in a daze, a dreamy kind of state where you're in deep thought and contemplation. Good for reading. I like Cinderella in the morning, Flo is more of an afternoon high.
Flo is very strong and clones very easily, from 10 seeds I got two good mothers. One was an indica dominate one a sativa.. as for the high... It is a very fun high...not paranoid at all...very up...the weed tastes real good... after the first joint you are high...real high...go ahead and roll another after this one you are going to trip for about 30 minutes then you will come down quietly... but you don't want to do that,...so roll another and trip again...it never makes me sleepy until I stop smoking...the end of the buzz will relax ya so you can sleep...but shit man...we usually just keep rolling...3:00 am still got a big grin on my face and deep perception is warped...it is by far my favorite morning...day...evening...all time smoke... especially when you want to talk and socialize with friends. ..so I say it is exactly how it is described...there are definitely more potent...but I haven't found a more fun.Eric
For me Flo is couch lock weed. despite the literature, I would rate it at 90% body, 10% head high. Matures very fast, like 45 days, has tons of resin, almost no odor, tends to be purplish in color. Difficult to clone, gets nute overdose leaf curl down when others don't. not a strain to continue. The high is very physically relaxing and emotionally amotivational. Splif Lipsit
I've grown 4 crops of Flo. It is very difficult to clone and not very hardy. I lose 40% of the clones, and just lost 2 plants when my hydro system was shut off accidentally. All the other strains survived without any harm, but the Flo dried out beyond recovery. This is not an easy strain to work with. The only reason I keep growing it is because of its fragrance and taste. I love the hashy fragrance and taste. It is truly an exceptional strain in this regard. The seedlings I grew were not very uniform in this regard, which might explain why yours does not have much odor. Revegging this strain takes a very long time. potattic
Yes it was ok but not great. the buds were pretty leafy and I didn't get very high from it. something that is a lot like it but better is Romulan strawberry blonde surprise. Both are 50% blueberry and taste similar. your mileage may vary. BeenThereDoneThat
Why is it so hard to get her to turn back to vegetative growth after 12/12? I ask because one female was "sexed" for maybe 2 weeks and then the lights were turned back to 18 hours on. but she still wants to flower...she is growing new growth but calyxes are growing with the new growth...and they have resin glands.
I have grown it and didn't like it. Yours may be different but on mine the buds never got very frosty, and the high was weak. I let it go for 70 days and it still wasn't finished so I cut anyway. The bud appearance looks leafy. yield was about the same as princess but out of a small circle of friends the Flo got a thumbs down.
I grew some Fem. Flo from DP organically outside in the summer of 2001. I had "high" hopes for it after what I had read. From the first, I had a terrible time with ferts. The plants just didn't like them, even though they were organic. The plants finally finished after flowering for about 52 days and looked nice and frosty. Unfortunately, the high was soaring up and up peaking after only about 20 minutes and then fading away so that after 30 minutes I had to keep reminding myself that I was suppose to be high! It was also all in the head without any body stone at all.
It was a disappointment so I decided to try growing it inside. I started some seeds under 110W floros and switched to 430W HPS for flowering. Once again, the plants were sensitive to ferts so I backed off and gave them sparingly. They flowered for about 56 days this time and looked even more frosty and yummy. Unfortunately... the high was the same as those grown outside, all in the head and short lived so I have given up on this strain. Too bad.

The Flo is amazing in every aspect except for the Thc content. She produces amazing flavors with beautiful bag appeal. Always turns purple and has the most distinct smell I could ever imagine. She requires ALOT of pruning to get rid of the larfy bottom airy nugs. I always enjoyed her as a nice early morning smoke but after a few years the potency couldn't touch alot of my other strains. She will stink up your whole grow though so have fun!!
