fantastic colour

Well grown plant too

GOD, very dark!!!!!

Very nice one. What's the flower size?

The majority of those wild collected plants crosses are dark. Mine is different in shape but similar color.

Looks very dark despite the exposure. A lovely 'stately' flower.

Wonderful dark colour. Intense striping as well. I'd love a roth that looked like this.

Wow very dark! I like it a lot. What fertilizer do you use? The leaves look pretty dark green too.

superbly grown and photographed,

Agreed!

Must feel so good to bloom your first roth and in such grand fashion :clap: An amazing clone!

Awesome first blooming! I really like the presentation of the blooms, they are held nicely above the foliage, and each is well spaced from the next. Good symmetry and incredible density of dorsal striping which further accentuates the depth of colour. And then of course as we have come to expect from you, a very well grown plant. Thank you!

Fairly nice for a multi!! oke:

Very nice, and nice dark color!! Thanks for sharing. Needs to be crossed w/ a nice Parvi and Brachy!!

Wow! Congrats on the first bloom roth! Such nice color too!! Great growing as usual! Do you still alter your ph to 6.5 btw?

That is one nice looking roth.

Thanks so much for wonderful comments.

Nice clone Fabrice. I was told that the Bear, New Bear, etc were wild collected. It is a relatively small flower compared to the awarded clones. NS is about 25cm but its kinda down-swept petals too. Still increasing so I will post final measurement when third flower opens. The dorsal is about 5.3 cm wide. And sepal to dorsal is 14 cm high. Dorsal is a bit oblong in shape rather than the diamond or round shape. I have another clone that is more round and has more lateral petals. Looking to be more darker than this so far.

Thanks, I was using plant prod 25-10-10 until summer last year but I ran out so I am now using plant prod 20-20-20 as I want to finish it up before buying another one. 50-60 ppm per gallon. They are fertilizers with urea.
