Bummer. Sorry to hear the news about the power outage.



I worry a bit about power outages myself, so I keep a number of bricks stored above my lights, in the hottest part of the cabinet. My theory is that the thermal mass in those bricks might keep the cabinet warm enough to avoid damage if the power goes off.

By the way is the Golden Tiger just as devastating as the Zamaldelica? Or is it that purple Zamal that makes the Zamaldelica so special?

Purple Zamal is a recent development. Zamaldelica has all the power of GT but with some crazy shroomy carnival ride kinda vibes laid right on top of it all. Sometimes it gets scary like clowns in a haunted house.
GT is as strong but is more introspective and meditative focus while Zam is less controllable.... just my opinion.

Both are strong as fuck.

I don't know yet what's been saved. All of it was affected.. some plants have tiny little bits of viable growth at tips of shoots but as to wether they will recover i can only say we'll see what a week under good conditions brings... GT is gone. Zamaldelica (not the crosses tho...yet) is gone. So is Kali china the Purps and probably animal cookies as well as my latest generation of ZamxGuatemala selections.... sigh.

Thanks for the support guys.

I have a 45 gallon drum of water in my grow plus it's super insulated but when we cut holes to vent heat....

I have renovation plans now... so expensive to grow already and now I need to do a full winterized approach to air control... also looking at installing a sub panel w/plug so a generator can save the day next time.

You think that's nutty? On December 31st it was 4 degrees ABOVE zero. People who say Global warming is a myth haven't lived it. When I was growing up in the Yukon (20 short years ago!) it was 40 below for ALL of November December and January. Now we get a few days here and there.. maybe a week. Come tell me to my face it's a myth. I might punch ya... I'll definitely want to.

Lol not you specifically kickarse... I just get a little worked up over that subject.

Really sorry to here about your situation. That’s heart breaking.
Love your description of zamaldelica. Has me excited to cut my first one down. Was going to try GT first but it was sold out.

Thanks for the great description. I totally agree with all of the above.

Disaster. Fuckn epic disaster. 6 hour power outage at -40 C. My garden Froze. I think I saved some of my genetics but I lost a great deal of value to me including some that were medically important to me :cry::cry:

GT was days from harvest but got frozen. I harvested and immediately trimmed and laid out on screen to dry. So far it looks okay. Smushed up a bit.. kind of dark green camo colour to it now. It also has some beautiful blue streaks I've never heard of in GT so that's cool. Yukon blue pheno; there you have it something new from tragedy. I hope I can reproduce it in healthy specimens but it could well have been a survival attempt to resist freezing. I'm not doing that again by choice.

I have to go and assess just what's left of my collection today. I'll post up some GT pics when I get a chance..There aren't a lot considering how Harvey came in but I'll definitely give you one of total dry yield (less about an OZ... I'm out of smoke) when it's done drying as well as try to find some scales to weigh it. Early tests from the microwave and food dehydrater are promising... busting up the bud it's easily as resinous as any LPs weed I've gotten.

Nuff said. Just figured some of you might have been wondering about my previously promised harvest pics... back laterz
Oye, Yukon
deeply sympathize with you, was in the same shit hole last autumn...frost wasn't the culprit though...tell you what, I've grown into a solid conviction that every single loss leads closer to the awareness of our nothingness, as if it sets inflated ego at naught...
However, one goes down, another goes up, so here's me toddler tiger, a tiger to be, I aspire :) almost a month old, will get its 28lt shoes and flipped to 12/12.

Actually I totally agree with you! I'm surprised how well I've been taking it... a year ago it would probably have thrown me into a depressed state for a few weeks at least. As much as it hurts I've been feeling optimistic about what's left and the fact that I have more seeds to pop anyways. I'm pretty stoked for my next seed order to come in as well... got some Dark Horse and Karma gear coming to cross with a bunch of Aces stuff. Should be some solid gold genetics coming out of my little grow room this next year or so.

Best of luck with your lovely kittens!

Weight is in... 16.5 oz. I'm pretty happy with that result especially considering I know a couple things I can do better next time. First pound I ever grew (or held for that matter) so that feels badass.. as does growing it in only a 42 inch square of space.

Smoke after ten days of drying is surprisingly smooth and has a rich resinous flavour and high notes of mango and Mandarin that I believe will be more predominant after cure.

Strong as hell. Good up clean feeling too... not much burnout.. killer munchies and some intense trippy moments. Great video game smoke.

My heart dropped when I read about your loss Yukon my friend. I'm glad you got at least a pound out of it. BTW, a pound feels even better when it's forbidden fruit:sasmokin: Wish you the very best on your next grow. I'm always looking forward to your grows-very informative!
Peace, God bless

I was cutting up a small bud with a pair of scissors to roll a joint. This is the pile of kief that came out of that little bud. I love Ace genetics!

Peace, God bless
