How did you make it?

I had a zoom lens from an old camera. I took it apart and used it as a magnifying glass over my phone lens. It's budget but it works, sort of.

Lovely big stout colas on that one Joe!
 
We've had a forecast for heavy rain, so, just in case, I rearranged the plants. I buried a piece of pipe to sit the umbrella in and had a test run. Looks like it'll work. Should stop the worst of the rain. I can move the two small plants if I need to.
Watered with a yucca, molasses mix today.

They look great Joe, some solid looking spears there! Good luck with the rain.

Thanks. It's getting exciting now they're fattening up.
The neighbors said they smell lovely :rofl:
Lucky they're on board ;)
Hopefully the weather blows over.

That's excellent that your neighbours are on board.
My Mulanje has some big spears on it but also some sparse ones too, but the spears on your's are looking all uniform and fat! I wonder if mine are missing out on, or getting too much of something.

Mine were already starting to flower when I put them outside at the beginning of summer. They half pie revegged and stretched, but they've pretty much been flowering for months so they've had plenty of time to mature.
I've been feeding with guano, bud burst, crystalic, molasses, using yucca, top dressed with kelp meal, worm castings and herbi 2-8-4 .
The soil is advertised as "living soil", but I don't have nearly enough soil for a decent food web, hence the reason I feed heavily.
Next time more soil. And indoors.
 
Nice Grow JJ. Those Colas look Dy-No-Mite ! :yummy:
 
So.....
If stupidity was a competition, I just won first place.
I knew it was going to rain.
After the test run with the umbrella, I removed it so the plants could soak up the last few hours of sun.
Then I celebrated by having a nice big joint.
Long story short,
I forgot to put the umbrella back up, and it rained. Not too much, but enough.
This was the result.
I lost a few lower branches, but the rest were okay.
The umbrella is now tied in place and it's working out well. It's still raining and they're not getting wet.

Some beautiful colas on those Joe! Thankfully your girls escaped any significant damage. I am no expert of strains, but they look like they have a bit of sativa in their genes. Hopefully they give you some lovely smoke brother.

It was a close call alright, a wake up call too.
About the sativa genes, I thought so too, since they've got long slender leaves and they're taking so long to mature.
If they smoke like they smell, I'm in for a treat.
