Outdoor Subarctic volunteer

[arcticjake]

North of 60, I took a season off but the goddess called me. I do not know who the mother was as I pulled the tags at harvest last year and I can be bit of pollen chucker (I tag and track crosses). Went out for a hike this summer and found this volunteer who survived -40 C winter and low precipitation spring had already started to flower under 20 hours of daylight (obviously auto genetics). She will not be

denied I guess. Guarded by terrain, bugs, bears and now an ogre (me).

This plant is looking very very good

For a seed that fell out of a bud last August not bad at all, smells decent too. It is too bad I took a season off or I would have brushed one of the lower buds with pollen. I have brought in some water because it is so dry around here even sitting in kind of a muskeg-bog. Other than our favorite plants hardcore survivor traits I attribute the health of this plant to the soil ( peat based Sunshine mix 1 with sand, organic compost, blood meal, bone meal, kelp granules, cal-mag additives and Myke). I do not know why the image is sideways though. Thanks for the comments.

Still lots of white pistils, nice fall colours though, dark and greasy look'in, pungent within close range. Temps were +7 C (44.6 F) last night, not much sun in the forecast for days. I was all set to harvest but I've got to give it some more time (my motto used to be, "I will harvest no bud before it's time"). If frost, mold or any of the other late season (around here) problems that plague growers cost me this plant, I am going to be pissed. It's not even that I need it , I'm on a break right now, it's the principle, it's mine, I wants it.
