Hiya SweetSue, guys and gals,
Chop day has arrived. Yesterday I chopped all 3 ladies and have 2 of them trimmed and drying. 1 more to go. Humidity was so bad this year. Had trouble hanging in there this long, lol. Bad news - all the girls are riddled with botrytis. Very disheartening to throw some huge colas because of it. Good news- I still harvested enough (and more) to go until next years harvest. I couldn't get many pics because it was raining. When I went to the site, 4 branches were laying on the ground. Overcome with the weight of the bud, and soaking up so much rain.
The pics I did get are of a couple colas. First one:
I don't know where the purple color went, but it's gone. Some residual color, but not much. Next:
And a couple trimmed colas. Again, my apologies on the photos. I'm not a photographer. I gotta tell ya, These colas are awesome to me. I've never seen colas like that for real. Can't wait for these to dry and sample. I will also make some cobs tomorrow. Thanks for your attention. Cheers guys
