Croptober: Outdoor California Cultivation with Mendo Dope

October 16, 2014

We're celebrating "Croptober' with a baker's dozen of outdoor pot shots courtesy of the Mendo Dope crew in Northern California.

This strain is the Cuvee from TGA Subcool Seeds and Aficionado. It's Space Queen x Pinot Noir, grown in a 400-gallon spring pot. This was the Space Queen phenotype. The mid-sized buds are really resin-coated and smell like a Romulan. — This strain is the Cuvee from TGA Subcool Seeds and Aficionado. It’s Space Queen x Pinot Noir, grown in a 400-gallon spring pot.

This is why they call it trees. Hiding in the Cuvee Pinot pheno is a Happy Daddy "Ken" hat pin.
