Mother Nature ended our season last night/this AM with 6" of snow and Winter temps for a few days. I've never pushed it this far into October...so no complaints.
Took the last 2 Black Zafiro down yesterday afternoon. The extra time really made em shine...literally. I also think they took on a far deeper stank. Very Stardawg'ish/garlic/chem. Very frosty. Very easy trimming. We also took down the last unknown girl. Guessing...I'd say she was a PP cross.
Hit the C99 x Headbangers today. We saved the entire smallest plant. It had the most stank. Just chunky AF from top to bottom. We also saved tops from the other 3 plants and then did the deed and froze everything for hash. Again...nicely frosted stuff and some very dense, walnut to golf ball sized nugs up the stem and beautiful tops. Still not as much stank as I'd hoped overall...but we'll see what's truly there after they dry/are jarred for a bit.
Definitely the skinniest leaves in the garden.
Definitely a decent season. No real weather but heat. No rot. No intrusions.
But I need more terps. Either more consistency in the seed...or go back to clones. I know there can be some decent consistency because 2 of the selections were plants I'd grown before and have basically burned through the pack...each seed offering a nice, terpy cultivar. To grow so many Creamsickle/Mai Tai crosses and not find much of note is sad...and it's happened twice. Good, frosty plants but not great frosty plants. There were 7 plants out of 40+ that had some good stank to em...none of which were anything in those crosses. That's a suck ass ratio.
But the freezer is packed full...so it could be worse. Definitely a decent season.
