The last of the girls come down. This plant, Headband 818 was the leafy one, much different than the other Headband by far. Not one headband plant was the same. I got one that was very diesel like in aroma, the other not. I had three this year. I don't think we will run them again.
As you can see by the pics I have posted this plant also changed sex at some point during the end of flower. We got no seeds that were found, as the flowers were not even open yet. I posted three pics so you can get a good idea what happened. It was only one side of the plant. It was also the plant that flowered way farther into August than I have ever had a plant flower before. Third week in August. It is definitely good smoke and we took her down to her pop corn a you can see from this last pic.
We got some good smoke and some mids. I am always pleased with the alien in the smoke regard, but in the trim portion of my idea of good plants all were not as they had been in the past. NONE were the same as the seeds we bought two years ago from Cali Connections or the quality bud seeds we purchased from Choice Seeds that were Cali Connection. As we are rethinking growing on this scale again we may not run the Alien again. As for the Boss Hog, one was a chemical aroma and by far my fave plant in the garden. The other smokes well and I am pleased with the high.
I am still battling health issues. The garden did not get as far harvested as we have in the past. We let a lot of bud go. My friends that normally come out and glean what is left were unable to show up as they are also afflicted with health problems. We saved what we could, got a few bags of good popcorn/loose bud for them. I hope we continue to grow next year, and will do a couple plants in the least and more tomatoes and a regular garden possibly. Take the summer off and go camping some.
These pics below will be the last of the thread for me this year. If you have comments or questions feel free to post, I will be watching. The pics below are the last of the Alien OG taken after the cold weather started.
Thank you all for coming by and sharing the garden with us. It has been another good grow here at the ranch.
