So, it’s almost harvest time. The buds are frosty and numerous.
Here’s a Pennywise bud

The Afgoo is an odd plant. After two weeks of flushing, it’s the only plant that stubbornly refuses to turn yellow!

My Afgoo cola is also very lovely!!
I lost 3 of my 4 seedlings to a groundhog. I hope he enjoyed the high. Any recos on how to keep them away eco friendly??

Keep a rat terrier close by? Gee, I don’t have that problem out west. That’s a fine looking Afgoo you have. How tall did yours get? Any bug problems? Mine is susceptible to Russett mites. Garrigan gave me a recipe for a nicotine solution that killed them but I lost several branches.
I’m in Mass. and she grew to about 5 ft. Thick main stalk and large cola as you see. No need for pesticides of any kind. I grow organically, even no nutes. I cultivate my own compost year round so my girls grow in beautiful rich soil. I’m going to miss “bud tending” now that fall/winter is around the corner. Indoor growing is not for me.
Except for the Nicotine solution, everything I use is organic or certified organic. 5ft tall? Thuat’s what I thought they were supposed to be. Mine is about six and a half foot tall!! Dunno why, but it and the Hindu Kush got tall. I have two Hindu Kush that are 7 feet tall.
I’ll be growing indoors again this winter, keeping my clones alive until next summer.

The perils of trimming!
So, I harvested a bunch of Pennywise buds about 4am, brought them inside and went to trimming. I had the cuttings in a tote, and about an hour later one of my boys yells ‘hey! Don’t grab that!’ Startled, I yanked my hand back and asked ‘why?’.
He pointed and said ‘there’s a Yellow Jacket in there!’ And there was! The buds were so sticky he couldn’t get loose but he sure was trying. I should have got a picture but I wanted him dead.
You never know what you might find!

I harvested the biggest, ripe buds last week. The plan was to let the smaller buds ripen this coming week, and then harvest them next week. This late in the year a hard frost is a danger and tonight might see temps of 26 degrees Fahrenheit. So, wrapped them in sheets and I have my fingers crossed!
