Real Gorilla Seeds 2020 - Lock down in the swamp

[Tommy tucker]

Its coming soon. I've been really busy.

Wow my last post was August 20 th . What's up people? Sorry for the lack of diary effort recently but it been a little bit of a struggle balancing family life , work and chopping down a boat load of sticky bud. 
As i mentioned a few weeks back i decided to start chopping down all lemon OG + freezeland.

This girl was least affected of them all but become covered in rott in a day or two

These girls could do with a few weeks of dry weather to finish them off but that would be to much to ask. I would take my time and attempt to do bring down a plant a day.

Separating the rott from the smokable bits and go home each night spinning the popcorn bud in my camping washing machine. The purpose of this is to get rid of the large amounts of useless bud so i can make some tasty hash ready for Christmas. Here's a few shots of the bubble hash i made from the two rotten lemon OG + freezeland 

 

Once i got stuck into the first and second plant i realised how bad the rott situation is . To be honest its been terrible . The worst I've ever dealt with. I accepted that firefighting wasn't working. Now its a case of bringing down the worst effected plants as quick as possible. I managed at the time of writing this to chop down 10 plants by myself. So gutted to see everything just falling apart in front of my eyes.

 

The weather has been amazing for the last two weeks but the rott is still spreading and i can't stop it. I've taken a break in trimming to let the last 12 plants mature and finish up. 

 

A few weeks away the weather ruined me. Solid rain for a while , then intermittent showers and sun which made shit even worse. The two storms we had were brutal and left uncomfortable feeling inside my thinking what state the plants would be in.

My idea to get the supports in early worked a treat and no plants got blown over . Not even the massive lemon drizzles. I was pleased with that . At least i got that bit right.On some days these are types of conditions i had to harvest in .

 

And this is where i spent most of my time

 

 

I checked online last night and the area i live in the top 20 wettest parts of the UK. Add growing in a swamp to the situation and you got all the ingredients for a mold fest! And that's what i got 

This is what happens when you don't think the whole scenario through and rush to pick a unsuitable site. Live and learn hay!

You should of seen the place that afternoon. WTF was I thinking

[Tommy tucker]

Righteo. I'm still on catch up so forgive me if the photos look a little out of sync from the recent weather. These were taken over 2 weeks ago at the start of harvest 

 

This evening the swamp had drained nicely . Its a really fucker lugging through this bog when you want in and out within an hour or two

 

Loving the pink flowers of the lemon OG + freezlend

The nugs on the lemon OG and Freezland are a decent sized but soaked and loaded with rott

 

 

So the chop begins - branch by branch

Job done on this one !

 

So . As you can see the mold has ruined me . Its a case of get down and get it down fast

[Tommy tucker]

This is the first day of the warm spell . Perfect chopping weather . Best crack on 

 

Lemon OG + Freezeland  seems to contain a few seeds - Has anyone else found any seeds in this strain . I'll collect these S2 for next year 

Big ass lemon drizzle

Lemon Drizzle tucked away in the corner is gradually rotting away. But she maturing quicker the others so I'll chop her soon.  No trim photos from this session for some reason.

All 3 strains have done well considering the weather.  The Lemon Drizzle  especially. 

[Tommy tucker]

Here's a few Lemon OG + Freezeland shots. Way off maturity but what can i do.

The Lemon OG + Freezeland has some monster cricket bat nugs on it.

Shame about the rott

IBL S1 has tangerine sherburt smelling buds 

Lemon Drizzle is a few weeks behind the rest

Most of the plants are showing signs middle aged maturity 

 

 

Another beautiful and almost warm September evening. No clouds . Crystal clear.

On Monday evening i managed to harvest my sole RGS G.S.C. This is one of the newer RGS new tester strains that @paniksend out .When i arrived ,I was expecting to harvest 2 plants but to my surprise one of the two autos turned out to be a male.

 

 

This one got snipped strait away. 

 

 

 

I think this auto is a few days under 90 days old. She was ready to be harvested anyway. Nice and dense,  sticky strawberry candy flavoured nugs.  

 

Couple of bud shots from after a kitchen trim

Big stem for a auto .

 

The strain did really well against the rott to be fair . Just a little bit which was great. As soon as these are cured i'll add some dried bud shots with a smoke report.
