Cannabis ‘Chocolope-4’		Chocolope (AKA D-Line) from DNA Genetics Anyone who remembers the Chocolate Thai buds that went around in the 1980’s will be thrilled to know that the DNA Genetics boys have been hard at work to revive the incredible chocolaty taste and cerebral high of that fantastic weed from yesteryear. Don and Aaron sprinkled their Chocolate Thai female with pollen from their Cannalope male and then backcrossed the progeny to shorten the flowering time a bit while still retaining the unique Thai qualities we love. This almost pure sativa takes a bit longer than some strains to finish flowering but is well worth the wait and yields quite nicely. Chocolope buds have great medicinal value but unseasoned smokers should be cautious; stifled giggles can turn to uncontrolled laughter and some people even report heart racing and paranoia as some of the symptoms of puffing this potent pot. Some even refer to it as a “high-school” high that reminds them of their earliest experiences with cannabis. If that sounds interesting to you, try some potent and flavorful Chocolope in your garden.
Cannabis (Georgetown)		A strain from Georgetown California
Cannabis indica ‘Kushberry’		This is the perfect blend of two West Coast flavours. The blueberry male from Oregon was used for his taste and vigour in combination with the fuely, lemon taste of the OG Kush from LA. The Kushberry is a shorter, stalkier plant which produces a decent yield. The exotic flavour doesn't rival its strength; she is one of our strongest strains. She is berry good for medical use as she relieves pain and helps with sleep and eating disorders. • OG Kush Heirloom x Oregon Blueberry • 70% Indica : 30% Sativa • Flowering Time: 8-9 weeks • Yield: 400-500g/m2
Cannabis ‘ SDxOG’		SourD x OG Kush! I just picked up some SourD crossed with OG Kush from CPG, and i gotta say, this might be my new favorite hybrid strain. The taste is a perfect mix of these two mega-strains, and the high is excellent: not couch-locky at all, very up, but enough indica to keep the up mellow rather than the more amped sativa vibe. I would say is has the up of SourD with a dash of the OG mellow, just the right amount for me. Smells fantastic too, and very potent. A real winner.
Cannabis ‘ White Mustang-2’		I was really disappointed with this one. Yield was so shitty, but a buddy of mine I gave some seeds to found a real nice yielding "kush" pheno, as he describes it. Smoke on this plant was decent though, it had a very minor Chemdog taste to it.
Cannabis C-4		Overall Rating: 8 Effect: Nicely balanced Potency: 8 Stature: Somewhat short and squat Yield: 9 Phenotype: Mixed, Indica / Sativa Ease: 9 Indoor: 45 to 50 days Appearance: 9 Outdoor: Sep 1 to Sep 15 Odor Level: 4 Odor: Mild Taste Level: 7 Taste: Hashy and yet fruity. Very pleasant taste, great aftertaste Grower's Tilt: 8 Sexes: Standard (M/F) SI Rating: Not Listed Vintage: February, 2000 A quick finisher, the C-4 is unassuming and disappointing until it BLOWS UP in the final week or so of flowering. Medicinally, it is a great strain in that is is very fast to hit; a few puffs and you definitely feel it, so it would be a good strain for those looking to accurately control dosage. This was the first of Chimera's strains that I have grown, and I was very pleased with it. It has proven to be a favourite among my circle of friends, as the smoke is refreshing and won't knock you out. A perfect balance of sativa and indica.
Cannbis indica ‘Blue Moonshine variegata’		Bluemoonshine is from the breeder DJ Short. It's a cousin to Blueberry, and is derived entirely from within DJ's personal gene pool collection. It is known to be a short kush like plant that will give ya some dense, rock hard nugs of trichome coated bud. A true "hash-plant". From my understanding of DJ's books/articles is that it is a Afghani / Thai cross.

Cyathea robusta ?	Tree Fern	Unsure of exact species (or Genus for that matter). Got the spore from our friend Regina. Has a thick trunk with an upright habit, very full the stems covered in soft light brown fuzz. Cyathea robusta is a large, very beautiful species from Lord Howe Island. It has very attractive, thick, erect fronds and light brown scales on the croziers, not unlike C. brownii. As the stipes mature the scales fall leaving the thick, light green stipe visible. The fist-sized croziers of this species are spectacular when uncurling in the spring. A good performer in cultivation, it has been known to withstand frost and snow in Victoria (although cold-tender when small), and is probably a tad hardier than C. cooperi (guessing 25°F). It does not resist hot temperatures well when young either.
