[PeeJay]

I’m entering this plant for its entertainment value, not because it will be a strong contender. Off the bat, the white flowers are silk orchid sprays from the dollar store. They are there to give an extra measure of stealth if nosey people peer through the screening that keeps it out of view. It can’t be a pot plant if it has flowers like that on it, right? Credit for this tactic goes to member Gardenfaerie. It is inexpensive and effective at making the plant look like a nondescript ornamental shrub from any distance over about six feet away.

That isn’t the only thing entertaining about the plant. The seed was popped way back in January as part of some experiments done by Cannafan and myself to minimize stretch and get tight node formation.

After the experiment was done the plant languished for months in a veg box that only has ~30” of clearance under cfl. It had no clear future. I forgot to water it frequently. At some point it was root pruned and moved from a 1 gallon pot of my complete organic soil to two gallons. It was topped a few times. It was a sad plant when I decided to put it in 10 gallons of soil and set it out on the deck June 1st; around 135 days old. Since then it has grown well even though daytime temperatures have been in the high 90’s and humidity has been single digit (low teens on a good day.)

The strain is White Panther from the folks at Ceres. Originally it was called White Smurf and was renamed White Panther in honor of the legendary John Sinclair. It was a cup winner in Amsterdam back in 2002, I believe. Genetics are an unknown 50/50 hybrid. It is a dwarf strain that is not supposed to grow much taller than three feet. This strain can really take a beating. I reckon an idiot could grow it in beach sand with a flashlight for lighting.

Here is my nirvana bubbleicious started indoors then moved outside then moved back inside under a 1000 watt hps she sits in 35 gallons of Promix with diff guano and lime. I topped dress with worm castings and bat poo and water with molasses every two weeks.

Decided to toss in my "bud-on-a-stick" pheno of Nirvana's Blackberry (which is Rasberry Cough x Black Domino). This was apart of this year's spring force flowered crop. The specimen wasn't fimmed or LSTed which is another reason why it turned out the way it did. This particular phenotype had a much more sour and skunky addition to the fruity and chocolately Blackberry. Grown outdoors on the ocean in locally made organic soil. A variety of different nutrients were used ranging from organic bat guano teas brewed for 24 hours, to SNS-604B, as well as ~3 applications of full strength D&S Step 3.

 

[Spimp]

I decided to Show off my CFL grown GDP and her lovely purple trichomes.

 

[Crawdaddy]

Well doubt this has a chance but f-it never entered one of these things, might as well bust my cherry. Maybe I will get one vote at least lol.

This is one of my first autoflowers ever grown, was from a Buddha assorted pack, this one is my favorite of the 8 that sprouted and grew well(1 never popped and 1 just did not grow well at all)

 

[COorganics]

Howdy 420 mag.
Here is a Barney's Critical Kush I grew recently.
It was grown all naturally using sound organic methods.

I grew this one in a 10 gal

Grandaddy Purp

Organic soil grown Ken Estes' Grandaddy Purp strain... The DanksMcGanks of the Danks.
Just came down last week! Right on time for a photo-op. Next month will be my 100% Durban Poison plant. Looks like she's coming down in a couple weeks!

 

[Dennise]

I would like to enter my Wild Thai 44 days in bloom. She is in a 7 gallon pot using D&S Growology nutes under a ZNet4..... The competition looks amazing so far but I think she is pretty........

 

[Gfcollective]

pictures of plants dont need to be budding do they? i seem to be the only one in veg. all of your guys plants look amazing! nice job growing fellow green thumbers!

I&i

Edit : and peejays plant i guess, but his is amazing ingenuity going on there. great idea (does it effect the taste of the flowers do you know)

 

[DrRosko]

Plants don't have to be budding, but I'm sure you are more likely to win if they are...

 

[Gfcollective]

my first entry into plant of the month so i wasnt hoping to win. just thought it was cool and hey, you cant say you tried if you didnt participate. for some reason i thought budded plants would go into the nug category but then read that they have to be dried so this makes sense why they are here.

its all for the love of the plant and to share the beauty of them with others. and now i get updates on my cell when others post their beautiful plants. win win

[NOCO Farmer]

I would like to submit my Tahoe OG. (Scrogged)

Good luck to all, as the competition is killer! Nice trees this month everyone!

 

[JadeLotus]

Hmmmm guess I'll go for it. This is my mystery bag seed. I have no idea what it is but the buds are dense and smell like citrus & pine/juniper.

 

[Marzbadrock]

(Chunky Munky) grown in soil all organic. Had this strain going for 4 years now, this plant here is about 50 generations. She has a hashy smell with grape undertones. Smooth smoke with a a very light fruityness that tickles your nose, good for night time.
