I'ts such a shame she's a scrawny plant; in hind sight, once the snails had had the biggest fan leaves I should have replaced her with one of the spares. But, no worries, she'll still make several cobs.

Judging from the way the buds are forming I think I have the more NL pheno.

And the last of the girls,

The Original haze or icmag haze.

I feel a bit embarrassed showing her now she's sitting in my homemade cage.

But, she is showing signs that she's thinking about flowering.

The cage is made form things that I've found lying around. Every year I get my netting/screen from the campo at the top of the beach that we predominately use.
It's far stronger than the stuff that I can buy locally and at every year the farmers just rio it out and dump it. It's somewhat damaged and overgrown with weeds when I get to it in the spring, but does the job and it's reusing something that otherwise just messes up the place. 😍.




We're just about to have our lunch, before heading down to the coast (again). 😍
Mrs DM never used to be much into the beach, but over the last few years she's grown to absolutely love it. I've always enjoyed laying on a beach high as a kite. Although talking of kites, I watched some guys doing some kite surfing the other week; Wow, that looks like some serious fun!.
I'm thinking that we might need to save our pennies and get down to Tarifa in the spring. Mrs DM has been saying she wants a few days away and she just loves the wind!.

@el mani ,That's interesting to know. Now I'm very excited!
Your's look about 10 days or so in front.
I had read somewhere that deep chunk was normally very prominent in crosses and was expecting her to lean more to the indica side.
She happens to be in the best spot in the garden for winter sun; hopefully I can protect her from the wind.

I think some years ago, being a goat herder was a good simple life, especially living in a remote place like Las Alpujarras. A simple country life, although tough.
I often see goat herders with a big spliff on, but with their heads down looking at their phones😥. It must be hard for a simple campesino, when they see all the, so called, "wonderful things" that the modern world has to offer.
I was raised in a very small rural community I the UK and have always preferred to live in the countryside and to be near nature.

Good morning to you all.

I hope you're all well and that life is being good to you.

Today it's the full moon, so it's time to start some more seeds!.
This is a bit of an experiment. I'm going to be attempting to grow a few indica plants during the winter. It's a very long time since I've grown any indica; Back in my indoor days (10 yrs ago) I used to grow predominately Sativa leaning hybrids but at the start of my growing adventures I did do a few grows of the original Northern Lights and a few Mazar-i-Sharif, amongst others.

So, here we some Maple Leaf Indica x PCK and some PCK, made by my good friend @revegeta666; thank you brother!

Here's the plan; I'm thinking that I will grow several of each in some 15ltr fabric pots and start to flower them around the end of October, outside in the winter sunshine.
It just so happens that Mrs DM was talking with a friend the other day and her friend mentioned that her husband used to grow chillis in a tent and that they had 3 different power leds light systems and did I want them. 30euros for 3 lights that have hardly been used.
We intend to bring the plants indoors at night time and then supplement them with the leds.

Cool haha! I would just like to remind you that the pck has extremely low vigour. Not a problem if you don't mind having big plants and small plants together but something to keep in mind for your planning 🧐

Still not properly flowing! I can see this plant going on forever!, well perhaps not forever, but at least January. fingers crossed for good weather. I need to think about some sort of cover for her for when the heavy rains do eventually come.

Love the look of that Destroyer she looks so healthy and the buds are forming beautifully.
I managed to squeeze in a Zenith for this grow now I wish I had chosen the Destroyer ha ha.
Mr. @Tangwena, excuse me for addressing you with this "off-topic" (and friend Del Monte, allow me the favor too, please), but I have a job offer in Inhassoro. I know the country's prohibitive laws on marijuana, but I also know that it is widely consumed; and I would like to know more about whether it is possible to get it there without having to expose yourself to very dangerous environments, or to serious police problems. I would have to spend more than a year there, and I have no intention of going if I have to spend all that time alone abroad working 10 hours a day for 6 days a week, without being able to smoke a joint in front of your dearest Indian Ocean, from time to time... I have to answer whether I accept or not in the next few days; I would appreciate any information you could give me on this matter. Thank you very much in advance....

Nice narrow leaves Hombre.

I live in the campo too these days, close to Orihuela. Growing hot chillies is high on my wish list, I brought a good supply of curry ingredients and basmati can be found here locally but no habanero or the likes. The fresh ones I shipped went bad because the transporter of my stuff had problems and was 3 weeks late. The only thing I miss here, apart from socialized dogs to play with my dogs, is to be able to cook truly hot food.

Cannabis is illegal in Mozambique, and being caught selling it can result in a prison sentence. Despite this risk, it’s still widely used and grown. Trafficking is also on the rise, and Mozambique is becoming a ‘narco state’. Cannabis is prized here for supposedly giving users strength, but has also been stigmatised as a dangerous substance...
