Awesome run, can see the end is in site!! Positive vibes to finish strong brother!!!
One More Week
Today marks a week out for take down.
For some reason - outdoors - I always feel real nervous about someone smelling / google mapping / helping themselves to the bounty.
Here are some Corpse Flower shots from the last week or so.
I’ve got some other real fun plants I want to share - but short on time at this moment and for some reason it looks like I can only upload one photo at a time which has slowed the process significantly (mobile version- must be the update).
There are 2 plants which remain on my radar - looking forward to the chop, shuck and trim.
The autumn colors are incredible.
stellar work sir!
Cheers!
Good job!!! Very nice looking, especially like that last one!
That’s some delicious looking specimens @Soiltech !
I know the feeling. When my plants looked like that, I’d be out camping with them nightly. I don’t miss thoses days! Heres to a smooth and easy harvest!
Looking amazing brother, you’ve got some stunning plants!
The one picture at a time thing is hopefully only temporary, after LJ did the update he got covid so he hasn’t been on to tinker with anything since the software update. It’s definitely inconvenient to go through pictures one at a time.
Also , appreciate the attention to detail. Really shows.
Coming very close to chop - thought id share one of the crosses I did last season in the swamp.
This is Tiger Mint Kush x Pure Michigan
It has a very meaty gassy aroma - a thick smell if that makes any sense.
I had meant to bring this line to f2 but all 5 plants were ladies and didn’t get the male I was hoping for. But I’ve outcrossed a few of these ladies.
There are a handful of OG’ers have recieved these f1’s. The testers I have going here are fairly consistent across all 5.
Absolutely beautiful plant.
Nice work.
Dang man them look amazing.
Chop Chop
As of 5 am this morning, before the sun woke, swamp plants have all been taken down. I used to leave my plants in the dark a couple days leading to harvest - but I’ve turned my mantra round on that. Why harvest them in peak stress. Going forward i want my plants to be in their peak bliss before any chop.
Dozens of outcrosses and at least a dozen reproductions are cut and hang in an unused indoor room. Clean seedless tops and lowers loaded with ripe beans.
Happy you all could join in on this season’s adventure in the swamp.
Looks great brother, can’t wait to hear how some of those smoke out
Congrats on another successful run!
good haul…happy drying
i realy like the colors!!
Congrats on the swamp harvest and thanks for sharing the journey. Very cool!
What a glorious time of the year @Soiltech ! Congrats on getting to the finish line with everything intact. I always figured the 24 hrs of darkness thing came from a terpene produce point of view but I’ve never done it intentionally myself. Now comes the easy part, shuckin and keeping track of all those seed batches. Happy harvests!
Congratulations, Dude! beautiful plants
Great run there sir!
Very pretty plants!
Cheers bro!
I love it Brother @Soiltech. I used to do swamp tube grows here in Scotland on boggy/marshy ground a farmer had fenced off as it was no use to him. Free water and great nutrition as the water table was filled with sheep/cow manure tainted water
Bet that environment is going to produce some smooth creamy smoke.
Awesome run and congrats on the sucess. Was fun to follow along and watch the grow!
Freshening up the thread with a impromptu giveaway.
If this giveaway works out well and I find a proper home for the seeds I will open up a giveaway thread - as I do have several crosses which would be better off in someone’s garden than my vault.
About 50 plants from the swamp have been jarred up with their lowers shucked - some real nice smoke that I’ve been enjoying thoroughly.
For the Corpse Flower, now that the jars are cured up - I did not find the dead carcass loud loud foul lady I was in search of. I do have some stinky flower - none of the 10 finished Corpse Flower ladies are loud enough to be associated with any legendary status - however there are some real heavy smoke with less than pleasant terp profiles. There are also some nice sticky cured flower out of the line. These represented 1/5th of what I ended up finishing this season in the swamp.
I believe the best way to describe the ‘averaged’ smell from this line would be black licorice - with some added funk. I trust my lady with evaluating lots of the noses - she knows when a smell is offensive - she doesn’t smoke but can point out accurate notes in the profiles frequently and is my trustable go to when I can’t put my finger on it. But she was sadly not offended by the Corpse Flower jars - I grew a handful of Uncle Festers Skunk - they are more offensive with a foul diaper smell that she did not like. I have grown Uncle Festers Skunk from another source and I remembered them to be more of a sticky loud asphalt/shoe polish resin. However the bud has some great appeal and has been my go to smoke (this UFS)
Here are the 2 packs for the first Giveaway - the winners will receive 1 of each:
‘The Tasteful Dead’
Corpse Flower #12 x Trufflez
