It's the most wonderful time of the year and I don't just mean because the kids are back in school.

I love this time of year. The leaves are all changing colours, the air is cool and crisp and the plants are flowering. Each morning I walk outside and the fresh aroma of ripening flowers tantalizes my senses. On closer observation the sun dances of the glittening crystals of the flowers that are reaching for the sky. When touching these precious gems my fingers become sticky and gummy. Once again I am left with the beautiful scent from my favourite flowers

in full bloom. As I ponder how much longer the wait will be I hear whispers from some of the buds



"pick me" "pick me"..."no, no pick me"


CUT




Ok I'm not quite THAT delusional BUT this waiting is

oh my god......I totally know what you are saying. Sweet smell, sticky fingers.......promise of what is to come. Does it get any better. My first grow. Good to share with those you love. I have never enjoyed the fall more.

Your 1st grow. Your are so gonna l-o-v-e this. It's so much fun and rewarding. We should exchange notes 'cause mine are outside also.
I'm almost obsessed with mine.

Without even realizing the date, i walked outside the other day and took a deep breath and thought to myself wow it smells like fall and sure enough it was the first day of fall.

im a little sad,
this is my 1st outside grow to, and my plants have been flowering for about 6 weeks to, so i decided to see when the sun light was actually 12hrs and less, well thats what bummed me out, the 12 hour days didnt start till beginning of sept. so i think i have to wait till the end of oct or even later, my plants are white berry and the flowering time says 55-60 days, but the 12 hour cycle wasnt started till 1st week in sept, even though they have been flowering since july, dam sun. lol ps im in mass,

Love the name and your avatar.
I agree! It's all good.
I don't have any kids of my own so I can't relate to the baby thing.
lol.

My plants are receiving much less than 12 hours a day of sunlight but I know they will flower. I don't go by how long it says the plant should take to flower because there are so many varibles. (location, growing medium, indoors or outdoors etc)
It does take a lot longer flowering outdoors. Without a doubt.

yeah. that's what I'm talkin' about. I love this time of year. It's gorgeous.

Yes it is a gorgeous time of year...harvest time...


my patience is wearinG out!!...she looks so beautiful!!..i sayy about a month more maybe more....
