Thanks ganico! Let me tell ya, I was pretty excited to see they were still harvestable! I'm at about 40 N and I didn't know it would be possible either... I had read that mountain growers traditionally girdled their plants and allowed them to naturally die and dry out before harvest.... I skipped the girdling, and left them to be after drumming male flowers on the females in mid September!!! These were planted about 8-9 months ago, end of april to late may....
Smoke is very good, unbelievable really!!!!
By the way, just a brass one toker with wood surrounding... that i misplaced....
Looking forward to the sun's journey back to Mt. Mossy.... Gonna be a heck of a season.... When do the gals get to live outside in the natural 12/12? Are they still under the light I assume?
pipe..believe it or not..I have the WR male outdoor in the tent.
I needed him isolated..thought he would take a bit of a knock..
but he is in better condition than the ones under the lights.
I have just under 10 hours natural ATM..but the light quality is excellent.
They say for guerilla growing, you need a minimum of about 6 hours direct light to get good flowers... I would imagine he's at least catching that... When will everyone else go out? Can't beat that HIGH quality sunlight....
Thanks sugabear! Yeah January 16 was harvest day! We've had some snow, but nothing more than around 4 inches.... Very fortunate this year! These flowers are pretty close to as good as the day they were first ripe.... Not bad at all!
Picked them right before a deep freeze, and this morning's snow....
Well....Mother Nature showed you a new trick..
all you gotta do is Arrange the same kinda thing for the end of the 08 season too...
and pray for a cold crisp autumn..rather than a wet one.
Ha ha pipe..you dirty dog....
's long as you are safe.
My brother is delivering in Scotland today..and it is snowing like hell..
they have already closed most of the main-roads back into England..
and his Daughter is getting married in the morning...
oohh..hooo..if he doesn't get back for the wedding..
his wife is going to kill him..
Speed & Safety big Bro..
Think I have begun hibernation today... Didn't wake until 1 pm.... Definately safe....
Hope your brother is able to make it back for yer nices wedding! Now thats racing the snow!
Out to visit the local art galleries this evening.... All the new work is out, its first friday (of the month).... Perfect interval for great gatherings.... Should be fun! Have a good friend who lives close to the galleries, and theres all sorts of wholesome folk who meet up there for the after-party... Taking the lady along to enjoy as well...
Have to enjoy these times when I can.... It gets pretty busy during the growing season....
Pipeline, I have read some of this thread, but in the beginning in of last April you mentioned you had SourDeiselIBL x OG bx1. Is this the same as was gifted to many others including myself from JLP?
I have two girls flowering now.
I got interested in your thread as part of research on outdoor growing.
Hey minds_I, thanks for dropping in! Yup, the same hybrid.... Throw up a couple pics if you want... I hear they grow some pounders around yer parts.... What has been your largest yielder?
