Himalayan Ganjas Geurilla Grow In The Swamp
- Thread starter HIMALAYAN GANJA
- Start date
Dang Himalayan Ganjamon, I am breaking a sweat just reading about all the heavy lifting that you are engaged in there.
I need to get off my asz and get busy in my swamp, since trying to score bud has been a total failure in my neck of the woods, and I do not enjoy being without my daily wake and bake high for weeks on end. Reality is a crutch for those who can't face a good buzz ha ha.
"No food for a lazy man" is a saying in these parts, and I can modify that to say " no highs for a lazy grower".
After observing the exploits of the fabled Two Heads and yourself, I am definitely now inspired to get busy, so I thank you for sounding the alarm to wake me from my stupor here.

LEMON SKUNK from dna genetics. they seem to be about two to three weeks away from harvest. here in my area first frost isnt till end of november so no problem. the tubes i built prior to this season didnt get enough nutes in them thus all the plants have aot of yellowing fan leaves , i sure the yield will suffer slightly, but all in all they are nice and chunky. these are around eight feet talll

this is leda uno from kc brains also needs way more nutes in next years coco mix, but this strain is great for dry climates i have a few on the hill that are doing great with lemon skunk at the same spot is suffering from drought even with one gallon per week
the leda unos are about 6 feet tall

sorry the early morning visits have bad lighting for photos
Nice choices on strains Dufous. They have good finishing times, nice open structure, not too big of buds to avoid the rot. The woodland is just open enough to let in light without allowing prying eyes to see what they should not.

nice plants there dufus. how tall are those bangi? and most of all how do they smell? for me the taste of a strain is a very important factor. my fav is the lemon earth combo like og.

The Bangi are at least 8 feet up from the ground. They're huge. It's about 6 or 7 feet actual height accounting for the swamp tube. There's not much smell in the field from the Bangis. The cured buds have a lemon taste.
The Mandala and Satori are real stinkers. Especially when they've been cut and brought in for trimming. Mandala has a raspberry mint flavor. The Satori gives a strong citrus fragrance like grapefruit or mandarin orange.
The Mandala is in the jar already. It's so nice to have an early strain like that and be out of the woods by mid-September.

You nailed it, man. That's exactly my strategy. It's all come together in the new swamp garden I built last year, after 25 years of struggle. I'm so impressed with the younger guys like yourselves who were able to get it together in so much less time.

TODAY 30 SEPTEMBER they are almost done. next sunday i chop no matter what. every morning the buds get all wet from dew. but lucily this region is windy all the time and the spot gets sun all day. this region is very sunny in general, and the autumn is warm and dry, otherwise i am sure my buds would have atleast some rot on them, but till now no rot at all, even with the dew and the swampy conditions;
Yes we talked about it in the spring. Haven't grown in a swamp in a long time my state's medical now. No more wading through mucky swamp water up to my armpits. Pushing a train of plastic tubs either filled with young plants and supplies on the way in or filled with buds on the way out. And my friend carrying his poor dog covered from head to toe in swamp muck through the deepest parts.
Next Sunday? It'll be close those plants are finishing fast but I'm seeing a lot of white hairs. Could need another week. The dew is bad but if there's no mold yet and sunny weather you could push it. Leda Uno is a late finishing strain I'd think about letting that one go if it isn't finished. Once all those caylxes swell it'll add a lot of weight.
I'd always get out before September 30th but I'm up north in a wetter climate. I'd always find a few mold spots. Hurt to take down stuff that isn't done but no one wants to be crawling through the swamp multiple times in the rain to harvest moldy buds.
Looks like you chose good spots those plants look high and dry. This is the driest time of the year in wetlands usually but an early flood would be disastrous. I found swamp plants go into senescence early. Yours are on their way with all those yellow leaves. Your plants should be very well flushed, very floral. Once the plants run out of the built up mix you give them and get down into the real swamp soil with it's funky PH they stop eating.
