I have an aloe plant in the back yard. I was worried about outside contamination though. 
The Colombian Gold is really dominant in the Gold Dawg also. It could be that is just what happens but too small of a sample size.

Yeah same here @CocoaCoir , my outdoor aloe seems to always have some kind of hitchhikers or squatters, although they do keep growing and spreading. I pretty much only use it for skin stuff, sunburns & hand-soaks with a pair of gloves

I grow 2 different kinds in a container inside, strickly to have for starting seed.
I hope the Lumbo Lips turns out as nice! 
You made it sound so nice in your description!

That’s a beautiful sight @Panamajock ! They look great together! This is my little set up. Not much but it’s been going for a few yrs and suits my needs. Orchard flower stalk creeping in for a photo bomb.

Beautiful…nice set up.
My eyes were opened when I retired here five years ago…the succulents and orchids etc are incredible.
I’m actually in the Parque National.next to the road to the Volcano Baru.and cactus abounds on the hiking tracks …getting popular with tourists now…and it’s great to see the Community getting involved.
Come visit some day, I’m sure you would love the flora in the area.
There’s a dedicated Australian guy who came here and fell in love with the area…and started an Orchid Finca…many years later…what a place to visit…especially if you’re stoned.
I could go on …retirement can be hard …but getting hobbies like cultivating plants .
Have a nice day

@Budderton what is you media mix made up of? I have always struggled with keeping succulents alive and thriving for any duration.

Hey @Fortman420 . I had a bunch of orchard specific medium left over(i think it’s mostly Cyprus bark) and mixed it with some peat based 3 part that i grow herb in as well as a cup of beach sand. Colored rocks i found in Mrs Budders arts and crafts supplies so i used them as ground cover. Crystals also pilfered from Mrs Budders collection(she has many).

Dammit. The Don is turning out pretty much they way i wanted it to but i was unable to find a suitable male to keep it pure. Selected for terpene profile, then effects, with yield not even considered.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had anything that matues this quickly. Just ending wk 6 of flower time and already looking neardone but they’ll probably get pushed to 9 wks to mature the seed they’re growing.
Some of the fridge stored back up pollen took. (Jews Gold cut x Papaya reversed) X (Sunset Sherbet cut x Mendo Breath F2 [Studley Spewright])

The Don(White ApricotSherbetf3), cruising into wk 7 of flower time, is a fast, terpy washer. All the phenos smell very similar which makes sense as these where selected by the nose through the first 2 filials.
