Both the Fighting Bilbo and Durban Poison have been grown this summer on the edge of a Very wet field. Last summer we did not see this moisture, and it has destroyed their individual systems… when it came time, they did not resist to a single vertical tug, and out of the ground they popped. With only a Fist sized root ball left on the stalk… Durban Poison had gone Brown overnite, and appears to full of Last-Ditch survival efforts by the Plant. - both are hanging now. Diaries to reflect this event…

1Right_Angle Fighting Bilbo is a Cross I so badly wanted to see thrive After a week of hanging, and knowing she was going to be Cobb’d, 2 ounces of buds were rolled into a Cylinder, in Parchment, and Vac-Sealed. Partner and I ea get a half oz to play with. Burping a jar… smoke report shortly Oct 1st - Cobbs were created with the Fighting Bilbo and Durban Poison. Cobbs were Sous-vid cooked for 36 hrs and with no Liquid visible in the Vaccuum sealed packages, I went right i to the next step, of a week wrapped in a 75-83f blanket with a Germination matt. What is showing now, on day 4, is that there is indeed some liquid being generated, inside the Cobbs. A great sign for sure.
