Fourth planting, 15th May
Fourth planting, 15th May
Another gorgeous day today, and the most pleasant planting session yet - now we know the growspaces back to front, it's much easier to split the tasks and get it all done efficiently. That said, we spent four hours there today, which is longer than normal, but it was so nice that we just couldn't come home, especially with Goldfinger, OG Kush and SAGE to smoke while we were doing it!
Both patches have a 'den' close by, in silver birch or hawthorn trees, and have paths that lead out to the various plants. So we can stash all the equipment, plants etc. under cover, and just leave to do each job, then return. That way we're minimizing the chance of being seen, and even a helicopter can't see us, now the leaves are out. We basically get to re-live our teenage years with something constructive at the end of it! It's also great for smoking spliffs in safety, watching the plants waft in the breeze...
So - we planted another six plants - another Cocoa Kush, a Hashberry and a Grape Krush, another Early Special, another B3/N7 X Erdpurt and (I think) an Erdpurt X Eroc/DP. Both patches are slowly filling up - there's only room for about three more in patch 2 as it's smaller, but it's higher up the hill and better camouflaged, so we've put all the large plants in here - some were over two feet tall at planting. We also lugged another 30 litres of water and gave them the lot.
So in the next two weeks we'll put out the final plants, which are frantically vegging as quickly as possible, as I don't want them to be too small - yet more strains. Further crazy additions may include two three-foot trees, a green Flo and a SAGE, which are currently in my friend's bathroom. They're really big, and I'm not sure whether that might be pushing it a bit, both in taking them out, and the size they might reach!
I'll try and take photos shortly, and put up some kind of plan of each patch with the plants labelled as best I can, before we forget...
