Sour Nevils standing really tall. This one I'm letting go until the last possible day. Such a great smell and not a spot of mold yet and I think we're close to 10-12" of rain this month.
Cut and hung the Mandarin Cookie's this morning. If you live in a climate anything like mine, east coastal muck, and wind, this one is highly recommended, it just doesn't care and can throw some weight. There's a 10' line of it in my cellar. Not knocking the Sour Nevils at all but it could be 25F on Nov 1st and that would be that!

Here are a couple F2s I made from MNS Grail Widow (NH x Widow). I selected based on potency and sativa plant structure. This is at 8 weeks; one has not much smell and the other is a really strong citrus floral smell. I also found a bad-ass looking, fast, highly resinous male with really skinny leaves; he was selected to make F3s and is going to stay around for a while.

We usually don't have a hard freeze here until mid-November, sometimes until mid-December. I have the ocean on 2 sides of me within a mile, either way, west or east but once November comes you can say goodbye to the sun for a long time. Despite only a handful of really sunny days this last month, the plants just fattened up even with clouds on top of clouds.
Next year I'll have a better chance to start earlier and set the plants in the ground or in bottomless fabric pots as well as setting them out where I know the sun will be in Sept-Oct. This year I just had to wing it, so to speak, with what I had on hand when I showed the wife my power bill halfway through July.
We gave a GMO cut to a guy up the road and he had really good luck with it. I haven't run it yet myself but it's on hold in my veg. I might give that one a shot seeing how big it grows and how nice the flowers were, also that M-pede insecticidal/fungicidal soap was the only treatment I used on all my outdoor and only one plant had any PM on the bottom leaves and it was surrounded by sunflowers covered in PM. The lilacs in my yard are also totally covered in PM.

This Sour Grape was my only real disappointment. It's a Sour D BX1 I found years ago and I've been giving it to outdoor growers for a long time who've had great luck with it. I think it was so hot from mid-July through early September that the containers were too hot and this one started developing leaf drop or blight and lost a ton of leaves along the way. She still managed to do alright but I expected her to do much better so next year she'll go into the bottomless fabric pots with 200 gals instead of a measly 20.
Still smells great but like my Sour D she'll need another few weeks. Usually, she's done by early October but I guess the leaf issues slowed her up, also I'm more likely to take a plant later than most of the guys I know around here. A bud in the barn can be better than two in the bush sometimes...

That Captial G looks great man. I just got a cut of it about a week ago. Excited to see what's she does.

Those years of experience in the mountains . . . no substitute.
We used to sit glued to the local TV station watching the weather, waiting for the big freeze which usually came about October 10th in SW CO, trying to just get one more day. When it was over, it was over, it would just snow so you had to watch out. That was so long ago that I have kids as old as I was then. Despite the shorter season, the conditions were much better, no mold, no PM, no rain etc.
The "Magical Mystery Chem" whose origins remain unknown is probably the best of all the chems I've had combined, having yet to see a 91' in any form. I had this big one indoors and the resin it leaves on your hands is just crazy. It's almost too much as far as smoking straight flowers go but that's just me.

Hey brother, looks incredible like always!
Lost my Lucy last summer when I flipped the mom and the cuts all bit the dust so I went looking for another similar kind of plant in Bohdi's HAOG x SSDD. Went through 2 packs a friend gave me and I honestly didn't find one bad female. Anyway, I kept this one as it was shorter and wider than the rest in veg and having more clones than I should already... This one is exceeding all expectations. These plants grow pretty big so I had to restrain this one with a long net. Her sisters came out great aside from a few issues with nutrient lockout on one I had in a Rockwool slab. This one in the pic is in a Hugo block, on a slab, on another slab.
Ended up having my old Lucy brought back to me by a friend who's helped me out over the years more than I could express in words so I'm pretty damned stoked. I've been trimming that last Lucy mom I flipped on August 1st for days.
Looks like most of my outdoor plants are going to have to come down today. I'll leave the Sour Nevils out because it's tied down from 5 different angles but the storm that's coming looks like "the big one".

any chance that could have been the mendobreath? or none of those clones made it? i forget. those long petioles on the upper colas have me stumped...
your power bill still baffles me. we'll get that windowbanger changed out with a proper minisplit by spring. betting 10 to one it will pay for itself within 8 months.
