Its amazing that a guy that grows this much weed and gives it all away actually runs low on meds for himself but as with all growers we tend to be extra generous and run out between harvest.
Thank goodness for friends in the medical community we were given some OG Kush, some Green Queen and some Apollo and I washed the equipment, packed the camera and headed up to the ODC for a morning session.

KA had not smoked out of the Phire Bazooka so I broght ice chilled water and some of Smokescreens fine meds and had it all set up long before sunrise.

So are you guys ready for this.

The Garden of Weeden August 27th between 7-30 and about 9 am

By this point close to 10,000 people had viewed the documentation of this garden at my forums at www.breedbay.co.uk and I think Dave became self conscience because he hand trucked in some ceder chips to make the place look really nice. Actually just another old school trick he uses to keep pest away and keep the dust down. Since this is essentially now an indoor garden this upgrade will keep the plants nice and clean from dust. He also put up a cover over Pistils Perch to block the harsh sunlight that streams down in midsummer giving us a small retreat from the heat of the garden. I broke my bong over the weekend and I had driven up to The Third Eye, a glass shop run by Jack Herer’s son and picked up a new piece and I brought it down for a wake and bake session with Dave under the new cover. Coffee and Bingers at Weeden cannot be beat! It’s kind of hard to gain a perspective of how large some of these plants have grown to so I brought along 2 pieces of wood with eight feet marked off with a black marker. While the marks didn’t show up so well in the pictures each stick is an even 8’ so it allows you to see how big these things are getting. The Cheese and JTR plants are much wider than the poles! Dave tells me by next visit some of the larger plants will be totally grown together. I had to use my wide angle lens just to fit the plants into frame.

As the sun started shining though the trees on the hill we used 2 sticks I marked for perspective.
The taller vertical pole is 8 feet and the horizontal one is 6 feet.

We had so much fun yesterday with or friends we decided to hold a wake and bake party in Weeden.
As always I'd like to thank the man for opening his amazing spot for us.
I have loads of Pictures but I wanted to tease you with this shot.
These plants are only 5 days older than the last shoot.

A Very happy man!

I am still shocked at the speed of growth of plants with giant root masses.
This pit is 35x40 or so and is basically a giant composted bed.
MrGreen made the comment that clone plants won't get as big as seed plants.
I have fresh pics from socal as well and you will see these plants dwarf the seed plants started huge containers.

If I have ever needed proof big roots are the key to this kind of growth look at 5 days growth on these monsters

First we work in the garden and then we take a smoke break!!

We decided to kick off the first week of September with a small garden party because this is when the real work of this garden starts in earnest. Before everyone went to work thinning lower sucker shots and removing massive fan leaves shading important lower buds we needed a attitude adjustment. The Phire bong came along with us and Happy Hunter brought up some amazing full melt to get the morning started right. I took loads of pictures today I was having so much fun hopefully you guys will get a good idea of how special this place is to us. I am still shocked at the speed of growth of plants with giant root masses like these. Remember this pit is 35x40 or so and is basically a giant composted bed that the roots completely fill. All that time we visited and didn’t see much growth that’s where all the energy was going to. If I have ever needed proof big roots are the key to this kind of growth look at the difference between part 2 and part 3. Jack the Ripper is typically a slow plant in veg indoors but in the full sun of Weeden I am amazed at how big the plant is getting. Its basically an 8 foot diameter mound at this point. Another plant that is standing out is “The Flav” a creation I put together using Romulan and Space Queen that produced rock hard buds indoors has grown at least 1/3 larger in a span of just 5 days. We got down to business and started helping Dave’s crew remove some of the lower shoots to free up air flow. I have seen the garden thinned now 3 times and it always fills back in completely during the week. The garden now towers over my head and some of the taller plants are over 12 feet tall. Remember the all star Cows? The buckets and buckets of trim are carted up to the Moo Crew for disposal and man they love this stuff they actually push each other this way and that as they fight for position to get the best young leaves. Bogart lived up to his name consuming a massive amount of disposable cannabis.

The weather could not be nicer here and after some early cool days and some early rain falls the sun is back out and its absolutely perfect weather for this time of year.
Humidity is low and nice winds are blowing around. The plants have responded in kind and there is no way I can really give you an idea of what being here is like. Almost all the plants are way over our heads and as you are in the shade of these amazing plants that are part of nature you really feel at peace. Its an experience I will never forget and never be able to thank Dave enough.
I was able to capture some of the first forming cola shots, but first let’s look at the garden from above. I have a walking stick/ Mono pod I bought to help me stabilize my camera and I had the idea to use it to hold above the canopy to get these amazing shots. You can barely see the Pistil’s perch at this point the plants are so tall that from high above it looks like giant cannabis mounds. The Indica’s have started budding heavily and even build up some resins. The Purple Kush already had thumb size buds and the Bubba Kush wasn’t far behind already having that classic Kush smell. The hybrids were just getting bigger and bigger as first bud set showed on strains like Cheese, Dannyboy and Jack the Ripper.

Now is when this project can get complicated. As night time temps drop this causes dew to form and as the sun rises the plants warm up in there tent. So that makes a warm moist climate which is perfect for mold and mildew to take hold. Dave uses some old school methods to help prevent any problems. He applies a solution of lemon juice and water to the plants. This changes the PH and this makes for unfavorable conditions for mildew. While controversial Dave’s methods are hard to question, when I tried growing outdoors here my plant was attacked by mold and mildew and rendered useless. This isn’t sunny southern California and from here out Dave was in for a lot of hard work and stress.
