Nice run Mr.Dude.

No keepers eh? Well, more room for new strains and new seeds to try.

Yeah, most of these were second runs of clones, some did amazing in the house but didn't produce outside. I'm not feeling any of them as 'the one', though I'll likely keep the wild Thai, haven't made up my mind on that one yet.
I also ran a couple plants that I had decided to cut from my clone group, their seed plants hadn't been mindblowing. Ran the would-be-mothers and wouldn't you know it, one of them was amazing. Discovered after hacking the whole plant and hanging it, such is life. At least I have enough to enjoy for a while.

This is gonna be a mess, but a fun one!!
A wide range of seeds, undoubtedly many males to remove, but filling this 65 gallon with plants is always a good ride

Good times! Looks like a fun time, are they photo's or auto's?

All photos, I haven’t run an auto in far too long, but I had so many photo seeds to run through. This uses up my seed stash, finally!

Glad to see you back at it! Are they outside in the tunnel?

No, these are indoors, I’m going to be making some alterations to the tunnel this year and packing a lot more food plants in there. The wind just ripped the door off as well, so that’s fun. We will likely have a few more weeks that dip below zero, so I’m not ready to start any watering out there yet lol

Tunnel mid-makeover. The two raised beds knocked out, and there’s about 3-inches at least of my living soil covering the whole floor. Eventually will add some mulch. This looks a lot more pleasant to work in, I was so tired of the two raised beds.

here you can see the raised beds kinda. Gone!

Lovely progress! That's a big project. I see your plank walkways, maybe put some paver stones in for a path to walk between them if needed?

That’s a great idea, I was also considering wood chips. I may just mulch the entire thing and call it a day, we’ll see. I’ve still got a lot of actual garden to work on as well

next up for the tunnel I need to fix the door, recent winds tore it apart. This’ll be the tunnel’s 4th season, and after this I think it’s going to need a lot of replacement parts. This may be the last run of it, it was so fun to have but it’s built in a poor location (doesn’t get direct light until 11 in Summer and no direct light in winter). I’ve got a lot of yard, so it may be time to relocate next year.
