    About 6 weeks ago i bought an Orange Hab from bunnings. A few of the leaves on top were a little curly.

    My mate BB grew out a lot of Douglahs he got from all over the place & the one i had was different to all the others, so please keep the 'alphanerd' tag going with yours so we can distinguish the strain
