Today's mugshots.......

Still no signs of botrytis, and given it has been raining/pouring every day for the last 3 weeks or so, and the morning dew is not burned away by any sun until after noon, they are certainly stout girls.....

Given the living conditions they have been offered, me thinks it is gonna be a modest yielding affair, but a good learning experience. Next year some 30 L Airpot perhaps with proper feeding and attention.....including generous copper tape mileage, darned slugs and snails......

There's a certain smell starting to waft about, not sure how much longer I dare to keep them. I reckon they need another 3-4 weeks, so if the weather plays ball and the smell doesn't give the game away, that's what they'll get!

Lovely purple color, even the sugar leaves is taking a shine to it........

Gotta love them ducks. I'm gonna have to try them out. Nature's camo at its best. Plants look awesome man.

They are without doubt a stealth growers wet dream, i grew them last year in the garden of a busy restaurant and not a single person batted an eye lid at them, your plants are looking real fine and should bulk up in the last few weeks, weather permitting. You'll still get a nice smoke from them.

That's cool.....a restaurant garden.......I just grew them as an experiment and given they have not been fed at all except for the slow release Nutricote when they were planted, occasional watering and slufs galore, Yeah, they are looking all right. Not because of anything I did, all credit to the DP genetics.

When did you harvest last year?........if I recall correctly, we had a warmer and not so wet Autumn last year?

Any thoughts on moving one of them inside, re-potting to a 30 L Airpot and keeping it with the auto's under 24/7 or 20/4 light......and trying for some clones.......just for the heck of it?

Around the middle of October if memory serves me right…i was growing in the Med so my weather is always good, harvest what you can from them, then try to re veg one or two of them in the grow room for cuttings, give them plenty nitrogen and see what happens.

Roger Wilco..........thank you.

If I can find space in a corner somewhere.......we'll see!

A little update on the ducks

it's getting very close now, what with temps forecast to hit 0 C next week.........there won't be much of a yield me thinks, but that's down to me letting the ducks live on bread and water.......now if they had been in 30 L airpots and properly fed and watered, maybe an airdome, if and hindsight is great, next year..............

I'll try and keep the largest one as a mother plant just for the heck of it! wonder how it will react to the change from a temperate climate to a tropical setting
