I live aout 125 miles from Birmingham, Alabama. MY plants last most of the year for me and my few that share here. I got 6 pounds of smoke (wieghed after the curing) from 8 plants. me and my wife NEVER EVER buy , we just smoke what we grow. we dont even smoke other weed, just ours. cause i no what im smokin. and the strenth is great! its a nice mixed high mellow taste and great buzz. so one nice season is all i need. i own my own land 10 acres, so pretty private to grow here. I keep my fingers crossed each year tho, if caught penilties are high.
