Garfunkle outdoor update. Realized I hadn’t posted about harvest. Pics of my plant are found in this thread. Grown outdoor, 44 Lat.
I experienced a later onset of flower that many in NE did this summer, and my plants ran a bit deeper in October than they typically do. Garfunkle came down in stages beginning in mid/late Oct. Unfortunately, I had somewhat significant losses from rot and pm—both reared their heads quickly in the last 2 weeks, despite being sheltered from rain throughout flower and daily inspections.
Good news though is that most of the big tops were cut before the mold and pm. About 2 wks into cure, here are a few pics and my initial impressions.
So far I’ve been smoking on quickly dried tester buds and haven’t dipped into my slow dried and curing nugs yet, but I like the smoke on this one. Hits pretty quickly in the head and behind the eyes and gives a physical ‘moving slowly through liquid’ feeling that is quite relaxing. Enough mental stimulation (but not a lot) to where I am not totally couchlocked. Great for stress relief, both mental and physical. Def an evening strain though. Smells are returning in the jar as cure continues and are delicate flowery/perfumy with a mildly spicy backbone. I’m not the best with smells, but I like where this one is going so far.
Overall, a joy to grow until those last few weeks. Buds are medium-high density which didn’t help the situation. They did not swell as much as anticipated either. I would run this again, but it’ll be a few summers before I get back to it.
Excited to have my first Bodhi grow in the books.
I don’t replace them that often, I just seal them in a ziplock between uses.
