The fourth lettered clone in Mike's HCW series — Hummer-source authentic Hurricane Creek White from the destroyed Baldwin Co AL site. Mike's 2014 thread is brief; only one Mike post documenting the clone.
History
Mike opened the thread in 2014-08-04 (post #1) noting that surprisingly HCW Clone D didn't have its own dedicated thread until then. Cross-referenced the broader HCW story (thread 921) and the alba clone A thread (1391) where the early-2014 leucophylla early-fall behavior had been discussed.
Standout traits
- Capable of monster-sized traps in some seasons
- Early-fall pitcher induction in 2014 (a population-wide leuco behavior that year)
- Green webbing balance
Cultivation notes
- Outdoor NorCal.
- Trap size highly variable year-to-year.
- Standard HCW-series cultivation practices apply.
Standout traits
- Mike (post #1, 2014): produced 'fall traps about 1-2 months early' in 2014 — early-pitcher induction observed across multiple Mike leucos that year
- Capable of MONSTER-sized traps under previous-year conditions (Mike, post #1, 2014); 2014 traps were regular-sized
- Green webbing in trap (kiwiearl, post #2, 2014) — a 'nice balanced variation'
- Like other HCW lettered clones, expect chameleon year-to-year color expression — kiwiearl (post #2) flagged whether this clone shows the same all-white-then-red-veined alternation as other HCW selections
Cultivation
- Outdoor Northern California.
- Mike (post #1, 2014): early-fall pitcher induction (1-2 months early) appears tied to broader leucophylla-population growing conditions that season — not just a single-clone behavior.
- Mike notes prior-year potential for MONSTER traps; 2014 produced only regular-sized traps. Trap-size variability year-to-year is a documented HCW-series trait.

Naming
'Clone D' = Mike's accession-letter for one of the original HCW clones (in the same A/D/E/F/G lettered series).
