Well gentlemen, It looks like it was a rough year. I feel you all on the drought. I lost about 10 plants in one of my spots because my water source dried up. However, I managed to get about 50 ounces this year. I had about 10 iranian autoflower clones that I got about an ounce apiece. I got about 4 ounces each off of 4 Jilly bean plants. I got 5 ounces off of a couple NL#5 x Pink champagne. I got 7,8, and 9 ounces off my largest plants which were Nevilles Haze. I got another 4-5 ounces off of some Herijuanna x C99 seeds.
I learned a lot about plant placement and what is too covered by the trees. I also learned that I should stick to the earlier finishing indicas versus the sativa strains. My nevilles haze wasnt as potent because I had to harvest it before it was fully mature. I waited until the end of october to harvest and it still needed a couple weeks.
I put plastic sheeting over top of the plants 3 weeks (mid sept) after I heard rumors of the Helicopters being out. I figured they had left the area already. It worked really well at keeping the rain off the plants and keeping them from getting frost damage.
Next year I'm going to use some more of the NL#5 X Pink Champagne, and of course More Iranian autoflower. Im also going to grow some Pakistan Valley that I got from world of seeds. its supposed to be a 7 weeks indica land race. Im also keeping my eyes out for more early finishing indica dominant strains to try next year.
Heres a few pics of my girls.
First up is a pic of my biggest plant Ive ever grown. Its a Nevilles haze clone that I put out the 2nd week of may. It yeilded 9 ounces and was about 5 feet tall by 5 feet wide
Heres a pic of my NL x Pink champagne This was the plant that ended up maturing the fastest.
Heres a pic of 2 NL x PC plants that I threw out and didnt think they'd make it. They did great for being under a cedar tree.
Heres a pic of one of my Neville's haze plants underneath the plastic sheeting. I was concerned about getting budrot if the buds got wet late in the season. the plastic kept the rot away and allowed my plants to go to the end of october.
Another Nevilles.
Heres a pic of a Jilly bean male that I chopped the first week of august. I wish it had been a female. It would have been huge!
Heres a Pic of one some NL x PC showing some colorand starting to get frosty. it turned dark purple.

Haven't been on here in a long time. Good to see this thread is still alive.
I'm starting to make plans for next year. It's gonna be a big one. I dropped the ball last year, bareley got 2 pounds.
Its probably gonna be all Dr.greenthumb strains this year. It sucks in a way because he so Damn expensive.
Anyone ever try and get him to sell you half packs of seeds? I doubt it but I'm gonna ask

I want to do Iranian g13 again for sure. I would like to get some Iranian autos too. I really need a early harvest this year.
I was thinking about starting the autos at the beginning of march, vegging them big and putting them outside as early in may as possible.
I'd like to start the ir g13s early too and top and clone them a couple times before they go out.
This years poor harvest Has made for a lean winter. 5 seeds of each strain would be plenty for me to get the ball rolling
