Well, now that we’ve got all that behind us, (and thank you for voting), we can finish this blog properly. The final harvest tally was 13.27 pounds, which is our second largest yield. We averaged slightly over one pound a plant. The last three plants we harvested, the two Rainbow…

There’s less than four hours of direct sunlight on our beds per day. Glad the plants are down. There ought to be a single guitar playing behind this with lots of reverb, plucking dreamy notes that hang in the air like memories. I walk around the beds and notice all…

October 21 HARVEST ALERT Been waiting all summer to bring down the big plants, and that began yesterday, with RK 18, Rainbow Kush in bed 18. I am particularly fond of the way Bee arranges the flowers, and how they come down off the tomato cage rack. What you don’t…

That’s Rainbow Kush 18 on the left, and Ringo’s Gift 11 on the right. October 16 Seven plants are now drying in our cottage. On Karen’s birthday, we took down White Widow and Bubba God. So now, the waiting game begins on the last two plants, while we check readiness…

October 13 Bee’s Covid test was negative, and they will arrive today, ready to work sans mask. I’m bringing in ACDC 22 for trimming, while waiting to see which plant might need taking down today. My guess is RG 5, but we have to wait until sunlight hits the beds…

Anything predicted beyond about twelve hours is guesswork. For example, when I first read of long range rain, it was scheduled for next Saturday. Several…

October 3 This older four point buck watched me go from the house to the beds, inspect every plant, followed my every step, all the way back into the house to grab Karen to come take the photograph. He stared at us the entire time. We got the shots and…

A couple of these bottlebrush flowers were cut into the last compost tea of the grow. October 1 So we begin the climactic month of October. In terms of cannabis harvest, October is the peak month. A sustained period of work is looming. The way things are tentatively looking at…

First light hits the tops of RK 18 at 8:14 a.m. September 26 This weekend, while we wait for Sour Tsunami to finish drying for trimming, we will begin providing support for flowers growing too large for the stalks they occupy. First case in point: ACDC 22 Her flowers have…
