Great stuff Jraven. You can see the "tree" potential in that one late Monk, the unrestricted ones grown in Denmark and Finland grow to Cali-sizes (obviously not bud wise, but height and canopy wise). *

For everyone interested in Scandi \ DK strains, please check my profile for threads started by me or threads on the topic I've answered in. I've pretty much grown them all, hung out over at UdG and HGH for years and altough I've been out of the game for a long time, hardy outdoor genes was all I focused on during my active years. (I would have compiled it, but I am lazy-stoned )
There is a link to a thread in my signature.
I'll be glad to answer any questions the best I can. Also when making crosses with HFH seeds, please credit Esbe. That guy has done a LOT for outdoor growers requiring a specific type of plant, probably more than anyone.
I saw someone asking about the root restriction feature of the Danes, a similarity shared by most IBL's out of Denmark. My best theory is that the "staple" Danes inbred in Denmark over the years all adopted a lot of traits specifically just for survival. Any type of external stress or rapid change of conditions will trigger the flowering, just so the plant can manage to carry on the genetics. Often these were openly pollinated as well, adapting over decades.
Dyr and Tanska for example used open pollination, let the plants live out their lives and drop their seed to the ground, spend the winter under the snow and frost and then repeated the process with the ones popping by themselves the season after. Do this for years upon years in harsh climates and you'll breed hardy plants, targeted or not.
