The saga continues... [View all]

I’ve been sharing this growing season my experiences growing a Landrace Colombian Gold photoperiod cannabis plant using only organic fertilizers and sustainable substrate as a growing medium.
The harvest time came a couple weeks ago, brought her in from the greenhouse and finished up in the inside grow room.

Last photos in the greenhouse.





After the chop and dry getting ready to process. Roscoe loves to watch from his perch.




Before trim and processing.



Finished buds…just need to cure for a few weeks.





Here is where I wish I could share more than photos. The smoke is smooth even in its uncured state. The buzz is hard hitting and long lasting. Not a couch lock high…but an energetic buzz, focusing the mind making even trivial tasks seem fun. Relives minor aches and pains letting the day move forward effortlessly. At night with a few additional hits your mind is freed of those daily mental anxieties blanketed gently in a warming glow allowing sleep to enter unencumbered.

These are my experiences yours may vary.

Conclusion:
This was a very successful grow, using only Russian Comfrey and Worm Castings for fertilizing grown in a coco coir substrate. I grow my own Comfrey in abundance for the other gardens we have, the Worm Castings cost 30 dollars for a huge bag, 40 pounds I think, used probably 5 pounds overall for this project.

Coco coir can be rinsed and reused. I was gifted the seed but they cost 10 bucks so I’ll include that amount.
The total cost of this grow was in the vicinity of maybe at the most 20 dollars. For half a pound of primo cannabis…thumbs up!

In the neighborhood we have a very informal cannabis growing group. This technique along with the root stock of comfrey has been passed on to the group so more can enjoy the benefits of almost free personal cannabis production.
