0 hebrew Posted February 24, 2009 personally i dont think it is eileen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 incognito Posted February 24, 2009 bridg seem to morph in and out, add&subtract ribs, grow monstrose then revert back, as they grow. that growth i would consider normal in bridgesii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ~shameless~ Posted February 24, 2009 what are some features to look out for if its eilleen???ive done research but can only come up with where eilleen comes from! Eileen is name given to a specific clone that had good vigor and power , Not exactly like Eileen maybe but, hmmmm.... i think it shares some similar features to your two cuttings in the box that have that nice healthy blue colour (most bridgetts have) that can be often seen in well grown Eileen specimens and has similarly raised ribs, each areole bieng slighlty raised of the center of the rib. Nice find man!! See my Eileen ( from the original namer himself) in the pot behind the penis plant, LOL its not as big as yours but its a fat one! going in the ground very shortly it is "personally i dont think it is eileen." One mans "Eileen" is another mans ordinary "fat blue" They all came from Bolivia originally, probably sharing all original parents, the debate continues in other threads. cya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
