MDCC (Monster de Cota Cota)

Also written as MDCC, Monster de Cota Cota

If you've been looking for a plant with some serious personality, this is it. MDCC is one of those clones that never seems to get boring. It has that super melty, twisted look that makes you stop and admire it every time you walk by.

Read the reference entry → — what the name MDCC (Monster de Cota Cota) means, where it came from, and what other growers record about it.

Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.

Anything marked “not recorded yet” is a fact I have not written down. I would rather leave the gap than guess at it.

The story

Every new section seems to do something a little different, which is part of what makes this clone so much fun to grow.
