...coming in late af on this community journal, but i have lots of pictures so maybe that will make up for it?
i received donated beans (THANK YOU
@BobBitchen ) at the end of 2023, and didn't pop them until mid April of this year. they germinated outside, and got transplanted from the seed cell to a 1/2 gallon pot, then to a 3 gallon airpot, and then into a garden bed that was amended with ewc, dr earth, and the random pile of compost from time to time. it was a slow go for me, first time growing outside and the weather was funky this year with a very hot june, very dry summer in general, and then we got inches upon inches of rain with the remnants of helene. ironically fungus was a bit of an issue, mostly from me hand watering with the wand (splash up from the soil). aphids blew UP at the end of september. all in all, it was a great grow, and i yielded just shy of 10oz off the plant. i left a lot on, and a buddy came and got some too. i think the plant overall had about a pound on her. i've been vaping it for the past week and i'm loving the relaxed, uplifted high it's giving. everytime i open a bag it smells like lime popsicles.
