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...
This has been a challenging summer for me physically. I had hernia surgery just before the pandemic hit, and about six weeks prior to cracking open seeds, so my recovery from that coincided with the grow. Physical rehabilitation is usually better when it’s not butting...
There ought to be a single guitar playing behind this with lots of reverb, plucking dreamy notes that hang in the air like memories.
Our final plants are still drying. We trimmed Bubba God and RK 16 over the weekend. I’ll detail the end of harvest in the next two blogs. We’re taking a timeout today for Jack-O-Lanterns. Yes, we carved these pumpkins. To be fair, I cleaned many of them, and then...
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 see...
Seven plants are now drying in our cottage. On Karen’s birthday, we took down White Widow and Bubba God.
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 to be...
October 9 HARVEST ALERT ACDC 17 is coming down. This is the third plant to be brought down with no mold found upon the initial inspection. She appears to be another very clean plant. October 10 This morning was possibly the final Regalia spray of the season. Humidity...
October 6 This is the week I study weather forecasts multiple times a day. Weather changes fast. That’s why long range predictions are often inaccurate. Anything predicted beyond about twelve hours is guesswork. For example, when I first read of long range rain, it...
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 got outta...
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...
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...
September 22 I haven’t had much of an online presence for years. I left facebook over five years ago, will never return, and I don’t pay an abundance of attention to the latest anything. I rarely check my website. I recently stopped following the news until after the...
This orb spider is big, bad and beautiful. Multiple kills are in its nest, waiting to be eaten. September 19 After six consecutive mornings of Regalia sprays before dawn, today I slept in until 7:00. I needed the extra sleep, so I plan on spraying this evening around...
This crab spider (on ACDC 7) appears thrilled to be here for our first Harvest Day of 2020! September 13 I won’t lie. This morning feels a bit like a holiday or birthday morning. I’ve been up since 5:30, already showered and into the overalls. My toes are wiggly....
You know it has entered harvest time when the front side of the leaf is green and the backside is purple. This orb spider points toward one of the first signs of autumn in the beds. First, just a few words of thanks to the excellent zoom session yesterday with...
Bee and Azure left yesterday, and as a parent, I am not always a fan of empty nest reminders. They had been inside with us for most of two weeks, without masks, just like the old days. It was family. Toward the end of their stay, they were exposed to others, and had...
Dawn rising, this is a view of some of the southern hill treeline that shades my crop in afternoons and evenings. September 5 All evacuees in our area have been allowed to come home. Our entire region of the world breathes a sigh of relief, and offers our sincere...
This is ACDC 22 catching an evening ray of light through the trees. September 1 First of September means it’s a BT day. Approximately ten young worm nests were found yesterday, so the white moths have been active during the fire. As every plant is flowering, worm...
The kit is a constant around here now. Such a fine fellow. It watches while I prune. As you read this blog, we are two weeks or less from harvesting our first plant, Shiatsu Kush. It will be good to have an early harvest plant to shake the dust off our trimming chops....
