Northern Climate - Outdoor Greenhouse

Week 23 - Oct 11 2020 Welcome fellow growers Well the additional week was just what was needed... I have 3 more plants ready to come down this week, and the “Farmhand” is good as new!! (well almost). With half of my crop harvested there is finally some room to get around in the greenhouse. The cold temps are continuing to bring out some very cool colors, and the buds are hardening up nicely. This week both of the Cherry Pies and the Grapefruit will be coming down. These are 3 of the bigger plants in the garden, I am expecting a pound + (dried) each one of them. It is going to be a lot of work, but the yield is going to be so worth it. All of my harvested bud is drying up nicely, I forgot to fluff and tend to my bin of sweet leaf and unfortunately it went moldy!! Will start to collect again with the remaining harvest, I’ll still have plenty for a batch of butter or oil. As mentioned this week will be spent harvesting and trimming off leaf. Vacationing is over for the time being, nothing planned for the next 2 months at least so I should have lots of time to finish my harvest and get all of this bud through a proper cure cycle. Canadian Thanksgiving was fantastic!! The whole gang went to Rock Point Provincial Park, we had some great weather and luckily the rain held off for packing up on Monday. It was my first time cooking a bird in a smoker, I was a little nervous she was cooking to fast so I turned her way down, maybe a touch to far, we didn’t end up hitting an internal temp of 165 till around 5 so dinner was delayed by a 1/2 hour but it was well worth the wait. The bird tasted awesome, it was nice and moist and had just the right amount of smoke flavor. We even got lucky as the kids all had to leave on Sunday the “Farmhand’s” boys went to their dads and my 2 went to their mothers for their turkey dinners, so we got a nice night to ourselves and you guys get some pics!! That’s a win win in my books!!! Till next week!!!
