Weird, you’re so much colder than we are up here in the hills… maybe it has to do with the humidity from the rivers?

Thermocline maybe? We see that here. It was colder downtown last week than where we are by 10F. Once a breeze starts up it equalizes pretty quickly. (We saw -17F last week)

These are 200 gallons :crazy_face::evergreen_tree::partying_face: i’m thinking of changing the configuration a bit in this part of the garden this year. I have no idea if the volunteer is male or female yet, been running rechargeable LED lights at night. Maybe next month around the Spring Equinox, I am eyeballing starting germination on April 2 or the third, waxing crescent moon in the sign of Gemini :gemini:

I have some ILGM Afghan seeds that I found in the refrigerator, I’m gonna try to germinate some…

I’m thinking I’ll use one 200 gallon bag, fill a 100 gallon bag and maybe two fifty gallon bags…

This plant started growing on its own, seed was in a bud that fell off during harvesting, we had enough rain for it to sprout voluntarily in the bud. Once I spotted it I added mini greenhouse and night lights. I hit it with Vitazyme and superthrive once, no other products. Impressed with the vigor and will to grow despite the cold, I plan to use the pollen if we have a male, or keep it growing if we have a she, and breed with the right male pollen. I am thinking 3/20/25 Spring Equinox I will stop using the night lights.

I might wait until May if weather not right, I will be using a mix of regular and feminized beans.

This is going to be interesting once things get going. I’m hoping for a female giant. :thinking::sun_with_face::+1:
