Hello to any old friends on here,those I have yet to meet, and the rest of the growers. I haven't been on any forums in years, but stumbled across a great thread by Subcool today on RUI https://www.rollitup.org/t/oregon-diesel-the-perfect-pnw-plant.461591/
So figured I'd share what brought me in today. My breeder that I was getting my babies from, let my two month vegged babies go to someone else and I had to scramble this year last minute for babies. I went in with 8 inch clones June 17th ( I am still salty on this so it makes me wince when I say it) instead of 3ft mature plants on June 1st as planned. Oregon D (Blackberry x NYD) and Dairy Queen are two strains that I chose and have not grown, along with a few other strains I do have some experience with. I will try to stay on topic..Oregon Diesel :) .. I had just finished smoking some OD and was admiring the frosty buds, they had some reds and lavender sprinkles throughout the lime green sticky nugs. The smoke had more of the blackberry influence to me than the diesel. I had to try them out. In hind sight I should have known better than to put in too many of something I haven't grown before, but I filled a 1/3 of the garden with OD. They were the strongest looking babies I had and responded well to training. I was late and behind, so I need these girls to jump. No biggie, I have plenty of veg time right !? Well the OD has other plans and decided to start showing pubes July 1st. Well turns out, the guy I got the babies from didn't know there was some auto flower lineage in them and they are triggered at 17hrs of light ( right about the beginning of July). So now I am looking at some early-mid Sept. finishers this year.

If anyone has grown Oregon D outside, I would love to hear how they turned out you. My girls are 3-1/2 ft tall bushes now a couple weeks into flower. They only had a couple weeks of in ground veg time, so I am a little bummed. Having said that, they do look pretty and I am hoping they surprise me.

I have never grown it personally, but I live in the middle of the Wilamette valley and a lot of people round these parts do. Finishes super early. That's why the people here love it. It yielded well for my buddy considering the size of plants they were. 5-6ft compared to the 8-11 feet everything else finished up as. It's beautiful herb, lots of lavender and purple tones, frosty as all get up and smelled like blueberry muffin tops. Unfortunately the guy I know who runs got pinched two days ago on some unrelated stuff and I won't be able to ask more details from him but I know it was finished early early September. Sorry I don't have more info, but this should bump your thread and someone with more info than me will pop by. Stop by the outdoor section, a lot of Oregon heads doing it big. Stay safe and happy farming.

@Amshif87 thanks for the info. I have heard it is a popular strain in Oregon, my sister is up there and said the same. I can see how it would be a great strain to have in the garden, I just wish I had known she was an earlier flowerer. I would have given them a little extra light to keep her vegging a little longer. My min. usual expectation is 4lb per plant min. and I am sure I will be lucky to hit 1/2 that with these girls showing out so early. I like to grow 8-10 lbs plants, but this year will be a very modest yield I am sure. The positive is that the OD finishing early should attract more value:lol:. Thanks for the reply and the bump Brother:bigjoint:
