Problems you ask? LOL.... this season has been nothing but problems! I Put my ak's out in late april, that was foolish, cuz they started to bud, then reverted for a week or 2, and are now budding again. I already harvested one due to rot, got a lil less than a oz out of it, the rest are still a little stunted, but coming along nice.
I have 2 grow sites this year... and at one of them, I had a critter digging up my ladies, and tossing them on te ground... roots exposed and all! They all survived, which is amazing considering they spent anywhere from 2-4 days out of the pots..... They are still stunted as shit, but starting to come out of it. Bug problems all around... Lots of grasshoppers this year, and the locusts are thick as well, tho I'm not sure if locusts fuck with them or not.
Lets see, what else.... Rain of biblical proportions thru may/june and most of july, some crazy wind/hail storms, and now, cold nights... like down into the low 40's upper 30's.
Even tho they've gone thru all of that, they are still healthy, and on track to provide me with enough smoke to last the year.... I hope.... but ya know what they say... until its dry and stored.... its nothing.
