We’re into hard frost territory now.
In the photo (below) you can see what frost on a roof top looks like.
Our weather forecast is suggesting a few more days of sunshine. I decided to tarp through the night and squeeze a few more hours of sunlight into the 2 plants (we still have in the ground) during the day.
It’s an experiment on my part.
If the plants receive frost, it will kill them.
It’s been one hell of a harvest and we’ve been working around the clock (in teams) to get everyone’s plant material cut and saved.
It’s sort of like coming together to raise a barn.
Cut whole and hung, is better than frozen dead in a field and left to rot.
The plight of outdoor cannabis growers harvesting in Canada is always a race against time to produce the highest potency plant medicine, that we can.

Instinct says chop it and claim your medicine! But we understand the gambling drive is powerful at times :) Best of luck!
Hi @vantocan!
Yes.
Part of a medical growing group who made a collective decision to band together to help each other through the season.
Interesting project. More than 2 dozen different strains.
Everyone’s yield is saved now. The last 2 that I still have in the ground, I’ve written off...just experimenting with them now.
A doo is planned. Old time growers coming from every direction and then we’re gonna light our shit on fire. ;)
I’ve learned that it’s good to have ideas that you can get excited about. ;)
Thank you very much for sharing what you've learned. This is how our culture has done so well and been so strong.
Wow! That's a beautiful sight hanging there :D Last night our conversation revolved around two dispensary licenses up for sale here in Florida. Out of the original six licenses granted, at a cost of $60,000 each, two have been put up for sale, one for 55 million and the other for 40 million. What an investment eh??? lmao.
I understand the folks here are trying to get recreational on the 2020 ballot, but that says nothing about cultivation. We're hopeful!
Hi @tamaralovelace!
Isn’t that something to see? Just like big Xmas trees hanging upside down. I so wanted to put decorations on them. Alas, nobody on our team wanted anything more to do with touching another plant. Lolz!
We have a tiered system for growing in Canada. If your address qualifies, you can grow 4 plants. The other tiers all involve qualifying and paying for licensing. This ranges from $500 to a million.
Is anyone spearheading medical growing rights in your State?
Our government tried to stop independent medical growing and that was fought all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. The government lost and had to allow for medical growing because it’s unconstitutional to stop people from being able to produce their own medicine. Especially when the right had been previously granted.
Having medical designation has protected us somewhat and was worth getting.
The $ grab around this herb is absolutely insane.
Praying to Shiva that you do not lose a single gram of your crop, :)
Thanks Jon.
Involved in 6 gardens.
We’ve all been cutting for 3-4 weeks.
The last 200 +|- were felled, hung and saved from frost, yesterday. ;)
