UPDATES GALORE!!
OK, so I posted the first few pics in June of 2019 - and needless to say - lots has happened since.
Firstly, of the 9 plants that I started with, 5 ended up being female, and one of those showed her hermie traits about 5 weeks into 12/12, so “she” was removed - and it was the femmed Afghani Lowland x Dakini Kush. The females that I was able to harvest were:
Aborigine x Sunshine Daydream / 1 plant
Jungle Spice #6 / 1 plant
Black Domina #2 x Jungle Spice / 2 plants
Here are some pics taken late into 12/12
Aborigine x Sunshine Daydream
Yeah, she’s a monster. In fact, this is one of the biggest plants that I’ve ever grown.
Aborigine x Sunshine Daydream
288 grams / 10.28 oz
Jungle Spice #6
Jungle Spice #6
55 grams / 1.96 oz
Black Domina #2 x Jungle Spice
Plant 1
Black Domina #2 x Jungle Spice
75 grams / 2.68 oz
Plant 2
Black Domina #2 x Jungle Spice
68 grams / 2.42 oz
So that’s what I got from my first grow in several years. Not great - but not too bad. A little over 17.25 oz’s.
The next grow, which I started only about 2 weeks after starting the previous one (above), was made possible thanks to the generosity of another OG member. I’m not naming anyone who hooked me up with beans for obvious reasons, but EACH OF YOU know who you are - and I am truly and sincerely grateful to you.
This grow consisted of 3 or 4 California Cannons. I forget exactly how many I had - maybe 3 or 4, but here are a few pics:

455 grams / 16.25 oz. Again, this was 3 or 4 plants…
My 3rd grow was, yet again, made possible from 2 more OG members. One of them reached out to me and offered me some beans of a very nice strain - Bodhi Sunshine 4 from Great Lakes, which is Chem 4 x Sunshine Daydream. The other OG member hooked me up with Mendo Lights (Mendo Diesel x Blue Lights) after picking me from a list of people from a thread he started to give away some beans. While the ladies from that grow were stretching their legs and fattening up in the flowering room, I got thrown a nasty curveball - MY WELL PUMP FAILED!
For those that have well water, I hope you never have to deal with this. For those who are unfamiliar - to get well water into your home, there’s a big pump sitting deep underground (several hundred feet in my case) pulling water into a tank in the house. This is not an easy or inexpensive thing to replace, so a specialist needs to be called out to do the job. For me, this meant I had to have a couple of guys in 2 separate parts of my basement (one part for the electrical work, the other for the plumbing work associated with replacing the pump). This forced me to completely tear down my grow room and relocate all my plants into a separate room upstairs. Oh, and this happened the day before Thanksgiving.
So here are a few pics of the Sunshine 4 and Mendo Lights in their temporary room - which is a spare bedroom that I (mostly) emptied and sealed up to get them through their ordeal. Those extra plants you see are from my 4th grow, which I’ll get to next.
BTW - some of these plants were over 6 feet tall! The stretching that the Mendo Lights did was shocking. Obviously, they are the plants in the far right corner.
(2) Mendo Lights, (3) Sunshine 4 (and others that I will detail next)
Mendo Lights (2 plants): 435 grams / 15.5 oz Sunshine 4 (3 plants): 196 grams / 7 oz
Here are a few pics of the Mendo Lights buds:
So this is where I show a couple of shots of my rebuilt flowering room. It doesn’t show everything, such as the ventilation, but it gives you an idea. Pretty much the same as it was before, but with a few tweaks.
So that’s it for this update. Next, I will post an update on the grow I just finished, which included:
Princess Haze by Grimm Bros.
Thai x Girl Scout Cookies x Stardawg
Girl Scout Cookies Extreme
Blue Dream
