Hey 
Harvested the majority of my crop
My fingers are blistered and I ache all over but it was definitely worth it
I won’t say much and just let the pics do the talking
Thanks for following
I have lots more images if anyone would like to see more or ask for any info
Hopefully there’s a few later finishers yet to come

It certainly is a great feeling
Especially after sucking the resin off my fingers
I’ve gone to plots that were ready to chop in previous years and found them all eaten by deer
Or ripped by scumbags!
It’s always an exiting and nerve wracking experience!
The remaining plants have dense nuggets which may not cope with much rainy weather so I will leave another 2 weeks max
Any that don’t finish or I can’t be arsed to trim will go straight in the freezer for hash
Thanks for your kind words and for stopping by
Hey
Thought I’d add a little bit of info on each of the hybrids I grew this year and how they performed
“Grapefruit Early”
The fastest to mature
Tallest plant was about 4ft
Minimum amount of fan leaves
Grows in a classic “Xmas tree” shape
Buds are compact and dense and Pineapple shaped
They all developed dark purple buds
Most of them smell like Grapefruit but a couple of them are more of a Fuel/diesel with spicy/peppery tones
Seems prone to throwing out nanas in the final stages and one hermied early into the grow
Despite the negatives I really do like this Hybrid
Mainly because it’s stealthy
Finished early
Mold resistant
And smells and tastes great
Its lineage is a bit of a mystery but it was originally gifted to me as a tester for “Hybrids from hell”.

Next up …….
“Lockdown Loco” (Hazey)
As the name suggests this hybrid was developed during 2020-21
The lineage is GG#2 X Polar Dane
A Sativa dominant plant that has extreme “Fox Tail” buds
Extremely resinous!
Tallest plant was around 4.5 foot
The smell and flavour is “Hazey” Floral/fresh
Finished 1st Sep this year because I planted out in April.
Last season I planted later and they didn’t finish until end of Sep and I lost a lot to mold
Although these are a pain to trim and don’t produce a lot of weight
The end product is very potent and tastes quality
Makes great hash so i only trim the biggest buds and freeze the rest
I’m a Haze lover so having some of this in my jars is a real treat

Well looks like that’s it for another year 
Returned to the plot today after 10 days since my last harvest
We’ve had some very humid and wet conditions since then and also a few heavy hail storms
I feared the worst
Upon arrival those fears were confirmed! Plants blown over unable to hold the weight of the buds in the wind
And on some of the plants that were still standing I could clearly see Bud Rot had kicked in
One plant that still looked healthy was one of the “23 mix” she had finished nicely and not a spec of mold
I also managed to get a few lower buds unefected by mold from the other plants and a load of unfinished bud for the ever increasing hash bag
It wasn’t the ideal end to the season but I have already exceeded my target with Aprox 7oz of dried trimmed bud so far
And I expect to be making a good few batches of hash over the winter to help keep me warm
That’s what it’s all about

I wasn’t going to do an update on the last visit because I thought “Who wants to see mouldy bud & damaged plants?”
But I think it’s important to show the good and the bad sides of GG here in the UK
From my previous update 10 days ago people may think it was a “Perfect” grow and quite easy
But this just goes to show it’s Not easy and disappointment is to be expected at some point during the grow
For me it’s all part of the process, I mean I could just plant proven strains that will finish early and not give me any problem's
But where’s the fun and learning in that!?
