Nice work there RinPoche

good to see you'll get a early harvest

 

[RinPoche]

Namaste,

Finally found time for an update

CPH Round 1 - Harvested 01, 02 and 04/07

Harvest CPH 2 (lost a few tops during drying )

Harvest CPH 3

Harvest CPH 4

Harvest of CPH 1 wasn't worth the effort, produced 2 joints.
Rather fluffy buds, but I didn't use bloom nutrients.
During trimming they smelled like a citrus fruit and mint.
CPH 1's taste was like those Mentho's candy
The others smell like a Bloody Mary and something roosted though I can't describe what exactly. Taste is to soft to explain (yet).
Effect is like 70% high, 30% stoned, sometimes even rather trippy. Quite unexpected.

CPH Round 2
Transplanted 5th of July (6 in total, 2 with a "heatstroke")




Keep them green

It's been rainy for nearly too weeks now, mostly just a drizzle but there've been a few days with heavy rain and wind as wel. Like last 3 days.
Luckily the plants ain't drowning yet

Céad Mílle Fáilte,

Thank You jay-toker, and thanks for the conversion

Stretched Durban Excellent after moving her to the greenhouse, the container got his rain cover so she can move out again and catch a bit more light

Well then... Could this be a pre-flowering Ierbei? All other signs of it so far turned out to be new branches, so what will this become...

How the garden looks like these rainy days

So rainy it's starting to look like a (very) early autumn

Cause of some of the damaged leafs?

Keep it green,
RinPoche

Céad Mílle Fáilte,

@ jay-toker: Thanks And we call it a "pot-parka", it's kind of a raincoat for the container so the plants don't get soaking wet feet, quite common with the rather rainy climate here otherwise.
I've seen it on a Dutch forum and made my own version of it...
They used black and white plastic sheeting, I use empty bags of soil, manure,... Use white ones if you find them, keeps the container cooler and provides some extra reflection of the sunlight The white ones you see on my pictures are re-used bag the expanded clay grains I use come in


@ paddi: it's an honour to have you over here Your topic's have always been a joy to the eye and an inspiration to me

So here we go then...

LR#2's started flowering as well, 2 females and 2 males

Royal Dane is proudly showing she's a female

Namaste,

Céad Mílle Fáilte,

just a quick textual update of what happened until now... (i'll find a way to upload pic's later, pretty busy with other things at the moment).

Afghan: Pre-flowered around July 9 - Female
Afghan - Back-up: Pre-flowered around August 5 - female
BBQ - vertical scrog: still no flowering or pre-flowering
BBQ - back-up: pre-flowered August 10 - female
CPH-O-Matic: flowering since June 28th - 4 female (3 going well, around 50cm in height - 1 staying behind and staying yellow because of the massive amounts of rain this summer)
Durban Excellent: flowering since August 5th - female
Durban Poison: no (pre-)flowering
Ierdbei: flowering since August 10 - male -> transplanted and put inside to collect pollen
Ierdbei - back-up: no (pre-)flowering
Lesotho: flowering July 28th - male -> composting at the moment
LR#2: Flowering July 24th - 2 male, 2 female - males are just as the Lesotho composting at the moment
Oldfarmer Nepal: Flowering August 3th - female
Royal Dane: flowering since August 2nd - female
Royal Dane - Back-up: flowering since August 4th - male (placed inside the house for pollen)

All (pre-)flowering plants (except LR#2) got a drip of rainwater with 0.5ml/l GL roots & 3ml/l Canna Flores to help them a bit in the bloom stages

Namaste,
RinPoche
