Outstanding! Hope your nose clears up, curious how the scents/aromas are expressing. Are those in native soil? Curious if you can comment on the make up?

Thanks for the kind words.
The soil is ten years of Coast of Maine Bar Harbor Blend,
CoM Bedding Soil, alternating seasons of layered aged cow manure, 2+ year old leaves, grass cuttings, pine needles and 100% vegetable compost.
A good foundation.
I’ve been feeding with the Foop regimen and giving them the Foop “Sweeter” too.

Update on the Vietnam Black from beans courtesy of @YoBigdaddy starting with the male,
which was just pulled after a few dustings on the lower branches of the ladies.
VietB Ladies
This one is short and dense.
The next three are still stretching
About 7ft.
This the top from the lady on the left in the next photo.
Weather permitting, I guesstimate mid-November for mature
seed development.
Thanks for looking.

Thank You @YoBigdaddy,
Feeding, watching and waiting.
Not much more to do but hope and pray. lol
A bit like raising children, once they are mature (!?!), they are going to do
what they want to do. lol

A quick update which I posted in the 2024 New England/Upstate NY Outdoor Growing Discussion (Small jpegs should not be a strain on the server. I hope 
)
I harvested the Moroccan Bedia the beginning of October and
got a few beans and after drying a week or so,
dropped about 30 beans in a window planter October 10th.
Amazingly most sprouted and have survived temps as low as 30F.
A few 70F temps should occur this week with 40sF in the mornings.
I’ll repot and bring inside over the weekend.

Next are the Iran3 and two Nepali Mountain Ganja males
which get chopped soon.
Iran3 and Nepali Mountain Ganja
Kalamata Red
Cretan
Vietnam Back
The Cretans will provide some mature seeds
Not sure about the Vietnam Black yet.
Hope to let these go as long as the weather permits.
Maybe late November-mid December.
Thanks for looking.

Beldias?
Funny you asked.
I let them go until the tops turned brown to ensure viable seeds. Not a good smoke.
Got about an oz from the remaining green flowers which smoke smooth with a little tingle on the tip of the tongue.
Been drying about 2 weeks.
The nose is of fresh cream with a hint of citrus and dirt.
An enjoyable buzz for a couple hours. A relaxed yet energetic high.
I enjoyed growing these and got them growing again.
Thanks for the good vibes.

Glad you like the photos.
If these make it through the
next three mornings, 32F, 34F and 33F, the Cretans should have a few well developed seeds.
Thanks.
