Hey, guys and gals,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
Well I chopped the last 7 plants down last Sunday. Overall this year wasn't the greatest. Out of the three spots I was growing, 2 got ripped completely. I never had pics on this site from the spots that got ripped. Oh well, I cant complain cause last year I got over 20 pounds.<o></o>
<o></o>
But from the only spot that wasn't ripped, I managed to yield a respectable 10 pounds from 45 to 50 plants. I think the problem with this spot was that lack of light, I mean it still got alot of light, but when your plants are budding they need as much light as they can get to finish faster and to product quality buds.<o></o>
<o></o>
Things I will do differently next year:<o></o>
1. Is only grow strains that I researched and not someone else.<o></o>
2. Build a watering hole for the summer months.<o></o>
3. Use some organic manures, for my soil.<o></o>
4. I won't grow freeze land again, easy to grow but i found it had low THC.<o></o>
<o></o>
So I have some ideas for next years grow as far as strains go, here go's<o></o>
<o></o>
1: Mikado - Mostly Indica. The Mikado is a quick maturing, large-yielding strain that's predominantly Indica, but with a long jagged single leaf with pattern. Under the 18 hours light, the stems and leaves are coated with crystal. The female plants show hairs making sexing a breeze. Liked for its long-lasting, playful high, Mikado can be enjoyed 45 days after flowering is initiated. Perfect for a sea of green. Height 5 feet Flowering time 45 days Yield 10 0z Harvest outdoor Sept 30 <o></o>
<o></o>
2. Island sweet skunk - The BC <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Sweet</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Sweet</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType> Skunk is a hardy mostly sativa variety and a long native of <st1lace w:st="on">Vancouver Island</st1lace>. Sugary long buds with long, thick hairs, are sparse at first, but fill and swell after the fifth week producing a dramatic increase in bud density into its finishing period. This strain is known for its sticky sweet colas and medicinal Indica stone. <o></o>
And lastly, what would you guys recommend as per great strains? First thing I’m looking for is quality, finishing time and yield. <o></o>
<o></o>
<o></o>
Peace.<o></o>

best wishes on the quality of your buds, i hope next year your plants will reach their full potential. Nice to know there are respectible people out there growing lean and green out with nature. Sadly I can't grow since i'm on a tight budget right now. good luck man

Ten pounds awesome work. Sucks that the other spots got ripped, but I guess it's all part of the game of growing eh? Congrats though, on an awesome grow. Thanks for making this thread, I really enjoyed following it. You're an inspiration

ive followed you this year and just read your last years report. I know your pains and joys man. i think you have made some great choices with ISLAND SWEET SKUNK. it is the end all kick ass strain and ive seen most of them in 8 years. i read somewhere that you cant have yield and potency but ISS has both. see for yourself. good luck.
