I was torn about whether or not to go back out to my site today. But I was hoping the ground had dried enough from my last watering to do a feeding before the rain comes this weekend. The ground had not, but I did take along my camera and think I grabbed some really neat shots.
I'm also stoned right now, and this is easier than weed eating around my house.
Anyway, here is me coming into the site. The site has a decent slope and it seems to pool the smell of the weed towards the bottom of the slope. All the plants combine for a sweet, spicy-stink. Definitely noticeable early in the morning, but late in the afternoon as the humidity continues to drop, the smell dissipates some.
I thought I would take some shots outside the deer line. You can definitely tell the difference in the phenotypes exhibited by the two unknown mexican-strain plants. As you can see the Big Bud is getting so heavy that it is bending its own stalks. This plant has needed a lot of support staking in its growth. Definitely a producer.
And here is an assortment of bud shots for all of you. Really happy with how everything is shaping up and looking forward to harvest.
Oh, and here are some pictures that came out really neat looking. The sun had gone behind a cloud and I put up the flash and took a couple of shots. I couldn't duplicate this in a million years, but I thought they looked really neat.
Hope you guys liked the shots.
And now some thoughts on the positives of growing in a clay soil. It retains moisture very well, so if you are having to cart in water manually (I am not) then a clay soil would help you reduce the number of trips you have to make. It also is a nutrient rich soil.
Lots of negatives, but I was reminded of the moisture retention positive of clay soils when I went out to check on whether or not I could feed today and thought it deserved mentioning.
