Blimey, where do I start, the beginning I suppose ...
Once upon a time there was a man drinking a beer in a garage ...
Nahhh, thats too far back.
Fast fwd 8 months ........
WOW, October already!
It honestly seems like the blink of an eye that I find myself at this point in time, all those months of protecting weeds about to end, I thought I would feel sad at the time of killing but oddly I feel relief.
Pic 1 and 2 are bud tips showing the readiness of the outside plants, they are not big plants, but like stolen kisses .... worth every moment.
Pic 3,4 and 5 are visitors, I came to the conclusion the green and black beetle things are highly advantageous, they eat everything and anything apart from plant matter
Pic 5 is 1 of the beer baby bud sites with a single strand of a spiders web.
Pic 6 is a shot from the greenhouse door looking into a giant green mass of branches.
Pic 7 is the beer babies stem, it is huge and looks like a tree.
Pic 8 and 9 are looking through the glass opposite the greenhouse door, it shows the beer baby has taken all 12 foot of the greenhouse.
Pic 10 is my beautiful runt that struggled for a very long time, I honestly thought I would lose her, she grew naturally like this, she has not been topped, she is now telling me she is ready, she is using her reserves and the leaves are dying.
Pic 11 is a place I drive through once a week.
Pic 12 is the vial I kept the ISO tar/oil in that I made, it is now full of ISO hash from 2 culled small plants and I got 3.8 gms of ISO hash.
The beer baby is a Sat Dom, 80/20 at a guess, I doubt very much if I will grow her again, she simply takes too long to mature and the UK weather is not suited to her, she would do better in a climate further south where its warmer and sunnier, so next year I will be looking at Ind Dom plants.
I was planning on harvesting all the outside plants this weekend but to my surprise the weather for the next 10 days will be bright with patchy clouds so I 'may' delay harvest until the 17th or 18th of October, then again I may not.
Enjoy
