Breeder's Description - 'Original Flo' | | 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. "Flo" is ideal for greenhouse production. The motivational "high" produced by "Flo" is quite unique; the flavor is like Nepalese Temple Hash. A most pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Veg:
The seeds took 48 hours to germ, and another 24 hours to pop through, but took a while to take off due to low temps at the time.
I only did 3 plants, 2 of which were deformed, but luckily the 1 left turned out to be female.
From planting, it took 6 weeks to veg, bearing in mind I ti ...continued

I've grown her inside and outside and love her either way.
Inside under 430 watts she is a little tall but with proper pruning can give a very good harvest. Lots of crystally buds on long tops but no huge Yule logs. She is somewhat picky about watering and nutes. I grow organic in live soil inside ...continued

I germinated 3 seeds and all popped. Two of them were female. Something unique I noticed about Flo is that the main stem is trying to put out roots. I found a good mother out of the few plants I had. The buds from 1 of the phenos I got were nothing but resinous bracts. The other pheno was a little m ...continued

First I have to say that Flo is a special part of the Blue family.
This report is based on 1 seedpack that was started indoor but was later grown on differend locations. The best optical lookin' seed was saved and is not a part of this report.
Germination:
9 seeds were started directly in soil (moist and ph tested) in small pots. All germinated nicely in a week. Only 1 was a bit slow responding and appeared a few days later.
Seedling/Veg.
Some seedling were purple/pink colored. Plants were stabilized in a good week and veg stage has begun. One was growing big like a queen, she overgrowed all, while 1 other was showing anomalies on the leaves and was working slowly. These 2 plants were moved on the balcony (it was late summer). The others were more or less similar in structure, lookin' like most sativa dominant varieties in their young stage.
3 plants were given to a trusted local grower and are not a part of my report from this point now.
Indoor plants were vegged 1 week, this means after good 2 weeks (seedling+veg) under 16/8, I turned the lights on 11/13.
Healthy leaves appeared on the mutant after a week of sunlight. The so called queen was bigger & bigger every day. This variety simply loves the sun.
Flowering
Indoors they were growing taller and had a tendence to branch out, some plants more than others. Almost green calyxes, only a few turned purple, starting at the beginning of flowering... Some colors also on the leaves. First buds were ready in 45 days, some were harvested after 50days, others a week later. A few buds were ful matured (cloudy/amber trichomes) while many parts of the plant were making new, fresh nuggets with white hairs & clear trichs. This variety has a force for flowering and can be multi-harvested. The plants will not die if the conditions are fine. A relative constant ph and racional watering will care for a happy root system. Organic fertilizers are recommended and generally lower levels of nutrients for the Blue family, plant/pot/size dependent.
Outdoor (balcony) Flo flowering was an interesting process.
The bud density is overall higer than indoors. The "mutant" was small with a very thick, deep purpled stem. The first nuggs from the queen were harvested while this mutant was in the preflowers stage and smelling fresh in the tropical way. The stem from the queen' was green, also leaves, but she produced small, rock hard nuggs with deep purple/red colors and a hashy aroma,a little rough. Later were also leaves & stem purpling because of cold nights in the last weeks of flowering. The "mutant" was obviously a late flowering flo pheno. A nice colored beauty with fat calyxes, coated with a high concentration of small trichomes. Deep lovely fresh/floral aroma. This was by far the best smelling/tasting Flo.
A word about The Smoke
Phenos and environment are resulting with differend aromas and types-of-High.
The deep colored buds from the queen had a bit hashy taste but no so sweet and the high was not good in relation with indoor plants.
Indoor buds were tasty, some kind of a fruit mix. Soft smoke and delivered a productive up'high which is stimulative, comfortable and enjoyable, but rather more intensive than long lasting.
The best came out of the late flowering flo pheno. Excellent taste & great appeal. Smile-Up effects, ideal for doing any kind of stuff, for a happy nice day or active parties in the evening, but it can get complex if smoking much in a short time.
Overall a very strong plant. The quality is in the experience, not so much in the yield, which is average. Nice colored variety!
