East Coast Punchers

These two were very weak when it came to fighting off the powdery mildew but we knew that about this strain and we grew it anyway because we very much enjoy the smooth taste and mouth watering smell. These two seemed like they were always going through some sort of deficiency but they managed to hang on and see the season through. Bud rot was not much of an issue and they were harvested in intervals, the bottoms were left a couple of weeks longer and thankfully we had the weather to do so. Our weight is an estimate because there wasn’t enough time for that and we really are not concerned about it. There will be many changes next year and we look forward to the planning stages that have already begun, we have spread the leaves across the beds and will most likely get them topped off with a layer of straw. This will be the last time we knowingly grow a strain that is susceptible to mildew, this one was worth the battle but it is not a battle that we wish to fight again.
