Damn, that's a helluva long time my friend!!! I don't know if I could wait that long, unless they were huge massive plants. lol. I am having trouble waiting for my 7-8 weeks plants. lol. But shit is on the up and up for you so hang in there. Sounds like we may harvest around the same time. Speaking of cameras I need to get batteries for mine, I was gonna take some pics now, and the battery is dead.
Sorry to hear about the bills, but as you say, that is life. Hang in there my friend, god never gives us more than we can handle.
