Growth Factors
A. Performs well
Indoors and Out in Soil.
P1 Parents and original
genetics work was done
outdoors in our
vineyard, alongside our
award winning Pinot Noir
grapes.
B. Outdoors it is
very durable and bred
for a fast finish for
the early Northern
Oregon rainy seasons.
This strain is
acclimated for the North
West. The plant is
exceptionally fast for a
sativa.
C. We only use

grow classes and show
all of our secrets,
exactly what we do and
how we do them, on our
web site at
www.Gro4Me.com. We
also offer seed and
cutting catalogs on our
latest releases.
D. Grows into a
giant bushy, sprawling
plant. It grows as a
creeper, able to bend
and stretches like a
vine. Able to stand on
its own and grows
abundant arms. Every
branch throws many
colas.
E. Branches a lot
with long creeping vine
like branches. Nodes are
close. Colas are
abundant.
F. Extremely
fast. Bright white long
haired, long bud,
typical for Hawaiian,
but jumps right into
action in a week. Full
on tropical grape color
and flavor finish.
Extreme producer. All
our strains are bred for
speed while maintaining
traits and improving
quality. Oregon Pinot
Noir has a lot of lovely
purple tones and a
spider-plant form that
is ideal for raised beds
or container gardening

H. Here is
another area that the
OPN excels. It is very
fast, with the Berkeley
genes to take it to
finish in a quick 42
days of blooming. We
grow our entire cycle
from start to finish in
9 weeks indoors. We
loved the Hawaiian’s
flavor and structure,
but in our climate it
was difficult to harvest
because we get rains and
fog in early October.
Purples are beautiful,
but they generally need
a minimum of 8 weeks of
flower to begin to ripen
and we just don’t have
that much growing
season. Crossing the Pit
Bull on the Hawaiian cut
2 weeks off of that and
acclimatized it to our
cooler climate. It takes
an average of about 6
weeks here in the North
West.
I. 38 days
average. Indoors OPN
finishes at about 38
days. I would not keep
her in bloom more than
about 45 days.
J. Middle of June
we plant, beginning of
October we Harvest here
in Northern Oregon where
the season is short.
Outdoors OPN can be
harvested before the
rains really start to
mean it. Here in Oregon,
that means it can be
taken at the beginning
or middle of October.
K. OPN is an
amazingly versatile
plant. We have had 15
foot tall plants growing
outdoors. Indoors in our
mix it usually goes into
the bloom room at about
4 to 5 feet tall (after
4 weeks) and comes out
about 6 to 7 feet. This
plant is perfect for
shaping to low profiles,
blending in with
surrounding scenery or
growing on lattice. The
Tropical Grape of
Cannabis, every good
summer home should have
a deck covered with
this.
L.
This is our biggest
producer. We easily get
between 4-5 ounces per
plant indoors using our
all organic methods.
Outdoors we have seen a
several pound average.
She is designed for the
outdoors. She is not
really intended for
indoors, but yielded
well nonetheless. She’ll
throw several pounds
outdoors in a large
container or raised bed.
A.
As this plant moves
through its growth
phases to ripeness, what
does it look like?
i) The
buds start out mostly
all hair and develop
into dense purple
golf-balls running up
the stems. Stems start
with a faint purple tint
that increases as the
plant ages to a deep
purple.
Ii) The
leaves are thin and
bright green at the
beginning and fade to
purple as the plant
develops. The stem of
each leaf is dark purple
from the beginning.
Average of 9 leaflets on
each leaf.
iii) OPN
is not a Christmas tree.
More like a Spider
plant. Ideal for SCROG.
This plant is wider than
it is tall, with bottom
branches that hang low.
iv) Most of
our strains are finished
at 5 weeks, which is
very helpful for pest
control. OPN is slower
than the rest of our
strains by about a week.
B.
i)OPN is at first
awakening, then sleepy,
down high. Has a creeper
effect, and has some
legs: you feel it for a
while after smoking.
ii) relaxing, soothing,
calming
iii) Perfect for winding
down after work. I liked
it for heavy garden work
though, because it had
legs and I didn’t have
to keep stopping to
smoke. Not really for
wake-n-bake.
iv) A couple of patients
have reported
aphrodisiac effects from
OPN.
v) The flavor has
complex grape tones of
the classic Hawaiian
that blend well with the
Pit Bull undertone. It
is very full and rich.
The aroma is distinctly
grape and tropical
C. This
variety has only been
available for a year. It
has not been entered in
competitions.

Gardens
6. A. This variety was
bred among the grapes of
one of the most
respected Pinot Noir
vineyards in Oregon. It
gets its name from both
where it was bred as
well as the purple color
of its stems and buds
and the sophisticated
grape flavor.
B. The thing that
really stood out about
this variety was the
incredibly wide space
that it takes up. Even
the males are huge
sprawling monsters with
multiple colas of
flowers. OPN was key in
a breeding project we
did for one of our
testers in Southern
Oregon who requested a
custom project for his
vineyard garden. He had
a red haired strain
called “Scarlet” and he
wanted something special
done with her. Crossing
OPN on her made for a
huge sprawling bush that
we called “Crimson” with
that grape flavor so
appropriate for the
vineyard.
C. Stoney Girl
Gardens got its name
from a friend of mine
who called me Stoney
Girl for years. When I
started growing,
breeding was definitely
something that I wanted
to do, but legally we
were restricted to very
small numbers. That
meant that I would have
to work with other
growers and breeders to
achieve my goals. So I
have worked with growers
across Oregon from many
different regions who
use many different
methods to test my
strains.
D. We feel it is
important to share your
genetics. We have
released many closely
guarded strains to the
medical marijuana
community and to other
breeders and utilized
them in our breeding
programs. Our strains
have traveled the world
from India to Japan,
from Jamaica to
Amsterdam.
E. We started our
love affair with our
first breeding project,
and we have been
breeding ever since. We
have been gifted with
many strains from great
breeders who never went
public with what they
were doing. Our
philosophy is that if
enough people have a
good strain, it will
always be around.
F. Always have a
goal and a plan for what
you want to achieve with
your breeding. Try to
match breeding pairs
that will blend well
together. Share your
successes with others.
