Here is my bud from my last harvest.
Strain: Fast bud (autoflower)

 

[Xlr8]

Okay, since "Cinderella(99)" won last month, I thought I'd enter this "Snow White" nug from my most recent harvest.

I love Snow White - it's a descendant of White Widow, and it has a fruity smell, makes me think of Juicy Fruit gum... It's yummy tasting and it will really sneak up on you. The buds from this plant were all really dense and full. Anyway - here she is:

same bud, different view:

okay, just took a fat rip of some bubble while posting that....hence the fucked up post lol. heres the real one!

 

[Van Diesel]

Oh boy! Some nice nugs already!! Good thing I'm less interested in winning than in just having fun showing off with you other great growers. Maybe I'd stand a chance this month if my Purple Nurple's buds actually turned purple instead of just tasted purple, but since I have a new strain to show off after months of entering just the Sour D, here it is-

I harvested at 37 days flower with mostly milky trichs, and got about 1oz dry/manicured bud per plant. The smoke is a wonderful smooth floral purple/blueberry muffin/plum sauce with a creeper high that you realize fully kicked your ass in about 20 min. This was my first "trial" run with this strain, and hope to do better in the next runs.
Much Aloha and good job to all your entries so far!!

37 days? Why so early? We have 45 day strains in our genetics bank but i have never heard of anything that matures sooner. If thats the case then this is the strain of the future and would rage with 1k hps lamps shmeowin down on them. Peace and Jah Bless your buds and weekend.

Great buds everyone!!

heres my kali mist.
she was one plant and pulled just under 3 oz's. she got a big smell and taste to go with it. taste is a lil spicy and puts a menthol feelin in ur mouth , very smooth and clean. and the taste lingers for around 30 mins, which i love. the potency is actually alot stronger than i was expecting seen a i was thinkin i pulled her down a tad bit early but this stuff is a great all day/ night smoke. so i am happy with her.
flash on

same bud dif. angle and flash off

good luck all!!

Not early, they were ready! Using a 60x scope I harvested by resin development. There were a couple amber heads nearly everything else was milky, few clear still. Its not meant to be a heavy/couchlock high, more a tasty daytime smoke, so I intentionally pulled them at this stage. The guy I got it from is an old time professional breeder, has his own strains that have been on the market for over a decade, but I'm not sure yet if its something he developed or maybe someone among his cohorts. I do plan to go and follow up with him now that I've seen it in action. I'll be running them for a while in my journal, so feel free to check in a few weeks when I'll probably be running another batch, but really the 37 days isn't a mistake. I have another strain from him that I started 12/12 the same day the I just pulled 2 of 3 yesterday (50 days) that is the night time heavy hitter that were 30% amber, the other I am going to let get to about 70%. My Sour Diesel are more a sativa high energy daytime smoke that get their first amber heads and are ready to harvest at 56 days. So as far as I know I know what I am doing as far as when to harvest for the smoke I want. I was pretty blown away tho, just like you.
Aloha

wow van very nice bro, i think im gonna HAVE to vote for u!!

Right back at you dude, very nice entry. You vote for me and I'm gonna vote for you!!

 

[Deacnbleu]

My first successful grow, I liked her so nice I cloned her twice.
AK47/First Lady cross. Sativa dominant had to train her to stay below 32 inches. She produced a lot of decent buds not to mention some interesting shaped stems, and this little gem I'm saving for last.
