[Brown Thumb]

There looking Good, PO
Enough Baccy Talk, Now where's lunch?

 

[POGreen]

I had dinner an hour ago an didn't wanna torture you with more pics of food , made a stew earlier today after that flaeskthang mit onionsauce.
I am full now and had a snus under my lip so I'm pretty wasted after a hard days hangin

 

[POGreen]

13-14 new plants in line to be hung
Was smoother today since I didn't flush the plants , thought I could do that later.....





Suckergrow + The only GC-1 I might ? have this season




Todays hung plants



Hangin from a distance , might have to take 2 black eye's for this ?
Patch is lookin more and more empty

 

[POGreen]

The GC-1, may be a hit here in the sandy soil. I would give both a grow to see what PO can do with it. Mad- PO has the best snuss blend I have tried- Even over Mine! Mad-

Thanks Mad !

So I'm coming up empty on Indian seed sources... Do we have any members from India?

 

[POGreen]

Haven't seen anyone yet , perhaps we can write to Bidi Research Station in Anand and ask for some seeds ?
Go all in at the source itself so to speak , I'll see if I can work sometning out.
http://aau.in/college-menu/208 seems to be its website for starters I reckon.

 

[POGreen]

This is the area where I have my patch , the pic is a bit out of date but all in all we have some 85 patches
being 10 x 10 meters each , a few exceptions where some have 2-3 patches hangin together.




It was time to mow the grass on former plotares today where I took the opportunity to gather the cut grass and use it as nutrition/fertilizer for next years grow.
The idea was to hang more plants in the woods but ended up with me diggin holes and shove down grass into holes instead
Sort of hang the plants in the woods without any kind of permission , like geurillahang !



Met this little hedgehog on my way out there , didn't wanna go to close with a chance he/she might run away......

So I'm coming up empty on Indian seed sources... Do we have any members from India?

GRIN carries 15 accessions from India: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_stat.pl

 

[SmokesAhoy]

Yeah, I pulled that list up after I said that. Only problem is everything is too old. The improved strains look interesting. We are trying to track them down, without luck. We have some PDFs and a pile of names, and zero seed for sale.

 

[POGreen]

We could write to the Governor of Gujarat and see if he could help us.

[POGreen]

Hung now for a few weeks , I'm satisfied



Bacca takeaway , think spots are just minerals coming up to the surface



Last one's up for a hang today



Changing colour on the very top leaves



Tools I need for the actual hang......





Just hung



What a difference a day makes , just a few small plants left

 

[Brown Thumb]

Leaf looks good, are you going to finish curing them in the house.
The spots are a good thing they say. Frog eyes.

 

[POGreen]

You're dead right BT , after they yellowed I bring'em home to continue curing them to brown colour , BC
Frog eyes you say , haven't heard that one before , on WLT's Virgina Red Leaf Don says its just minerals comin up to the surface , donno if I can make a parallel to that
Think I have time to make the cut , when the canape of the trees is gone by the end of Sept. month
I'll hang some leaf today

 

[POGreen]

Sorry for the bad quality pics but these two plants has been hangin for 1 week-10 days now and this is how they look

 

[POGreen]

No break , no rest for a backergrower. Think I soilizated 7 holes today , holes being about 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' and hopefully full of nutrition for next years plant

Some would surely think I'm a MadMan doin all this but I just can't let it slip away and I belive so much in it too.

Some of the stuff that went down today
Ditto
Just to cover
Rootball from one of this years plants

 

[Brown Thumb]

I think you just like to dig holes, you got groundhog in your blood.

 

[POGreen]

As long as I get wellfed with 3 meals a day , chocolate and sweets + snus after meals
Oopss , gotta have some coffee by 2.30 too

 

[POGreen]

Timberland sailing shoes in a hole for comparison and a plant doing a very good job in the woods



I am glad I did choose this way of curing , hope they cope fine tomorrow when its supposed to rain pretty heavy.......
Could easy start takin some leaf now , like the very dark brown colour that seems to be
Wonder what they will taste like when being made to snus ?

 

[Mad Oshea]

Very good I am sure. You had a good choice in leaf for it.

 

[POGreen]

Will surley taste like nothing else is what I can imagine.
