Two heads 2011

Beautiful plants, two heads. Baby's Breath looks special. I would love to see it done with organics in the future. It's not hard - just add stuff to your soil.

Frosty, heavy and almost done

Frosty, heavy and almost done

Back to the cedars in a wicked wind today. They all needed a bit of water (which we gave them). Pail #2 is so tall, top heavy and the soil was dry so the pail itself didn't offer much ballast, and it was tipped right over when we went in. It was resting on the Bubbas but it looked like it had just happened. The buds hadn't started turning up yet. This is how the tipped over buds looked:

We propped the pail back up, watered and tied it off to a cedar so it can't tip over again. In any event, all the plants are looking pretty much done, except the Bubbas and Sugar Cane Train and they are making great progress. They'll be done (enough) by mid-October.

The Sugar Cane Train:

...and the SCT buds:

It's not just needing a bit of water, you can see that the plants are finishing. Pail #1:

Pail #2:

Pail #4. What's left of it - we have already topped two plants here and took one more today (more on that in a minute):

picture.php


Remember the magenta bud I shoot on each visit? It got cut down today because it's done and because we will likely harvest in the dark and a couple of branches that got pollinated with SCT late will be kept alive till the seed sets. By taking it now, we'll know not to take the tiny branch left behind when we're in the dark. Anyway, here are the final shots of this top:

...and here's how the top looked right after harvest:

I got a few nice frosty bud shots today as well. Those up next!

Pails 1, 2 and 4 will be coming down soon, at night, so these are the last shots of those plants. The Bubbas, Sugar Cane Trains and pollinated branches of Baby's Breath will stay for a few more weeks. The swamp site will get cut during daylight so I'll have pics from harvest day in the swamp.

A very nice grow. Those cedars let you get nice sun and air movement. Great location.

Are they tough walking through? If so, even better!

They are tough to get through and very tall. Our grow is in a low patch in the middle of the thicket. We know exactly where to enter and what winding route to follow - and we have a front and a back 'door'. It's only about 10 meters in from a well-used path but if you miss the right route even by a foot, you're swallowed up by dense cedar. (It's happened to us before and we know the route). Our greatest concern is being heard which is why we tend to visit at dusk/night or when it is windy or rainy. If we visit on a nice day, one of us hangs out along the pathway and coughs or whistles a merry tune if a dog walker or jogger approaches.

The swamp is another story. As long as you're not seen entering or leaving, you're in your own protected sanctuary once you get to the site.

Sorry, double post. I guess I must have double-clicked. Funny I had the same problem in the cedars taking pictures. My fingers were so sticky from light handling of the buds that almost every picture snapped twice! I've heard of scissor hash but camera hash? Don't even get me started on my 30x magnifier - that thing is caked!

Thanks for brining us all the excitement of your grow,

Here you go KanadianKronik! The magenta plant I take a pic of every visit is dry and we've enjoyed it immensely tonight.

It was one of our smallest plants, pretty as it was. We split the 19 grams it gave us. What a great full bodied high! It has me reminiscing on the growth of the bud and thinking how ganja flowers are a bit like people. They look their best when they're immature but they are their best when they're mature.

So forgive a blissful gardener's reminiscence...

Hi brother festivus. We had three nights in a row with 32F as the low temp but that was an anomaly and it's getting progressively warmer now, especially at night. This site is now harvested except for the Sugar Cane Train and Bubba Kush clones and I think they are going to be fine. I only saw them at night but it was cold and they looked magnificent! I'll have new pics for the House of Love thread soon.

Swamp harvest!

Swamp harvest!

Despite gloomy weather forecasts the last three days have been beautiful and none better than today. What a perfect day to harvest the swamp. I went just before dusk tonight and cut down 5 of our six totes. One tote, a clone from a med-grower friend, still needs more time. Otherwise - they're ready!

Everything looked great and was super sticky but here are some of the highlights. Tote A, with the large heavy plant I tied up last trip is still standing but the branches can barely support their weight:

picture.php


These pics aren't sideways (see the backgrounds) - that's the way several branches were growing in Tote A:

picture.php


picture.php


Sideways or not, the buds in this tote look awesome:

The next tote has a nice sativa pheno I've had my eye (and nose) on the last few visits. Appropriately enough, it has two heads!

Everywhere I turned as this beautiful day was ending, I saw astounding buds ripe and ready:

picture.php


The last tote in the line had two plants. One was a towering sativa-leaning tree and the other a smaller, denser magenta plant that looks a bit shabby from a distance:

picture.php


But get closer and the magenta plant was captivating:

Mainly because, although it was ripe, it was still pushing out new intense pink pistils:

The plants are now drying at a safe location and the plants taken last week are almost finished manicuring. It's starting to feel real. We've had a great season and a very successful harvest. We've done this long enough to really appreciate our luck when the stars align as they have this year.

The swamp site still has that clone tote and the cedar site still has the Sugar Cane Train and Bubba Kush bushes - all of which will come in - appropriately - right around our Thanksgiving.
