South Island NZ growing 2013/14

[Knucklehead]

Incidentally, your seed germination was amazing. Won't get into %'s but very high success rate. Webby and Seanz gave me some seed and germination rate was very poor. I reckon us kiwi guys are doing something wrong!
It is only the nb11 that looked to have a skinny/wonky stem. Not yours my friend

Doug Moats gets the credit for the excellent germination rates. His storage methods were spot on. Some of the seed I grew of his this year were last grown out in 2001 and the germination rate was great! You sure couldn't tell they were 12 year old seed.

Wow, that is very impressive.

You shouldn't have let on.

I still reckon it's all your green thumb carry on eh

Going to read that link you gave me thanks.

Bert munrow....he spent most his time living in a little shed hand making his engine parts..and the rest of his time over yours testing his bike at the salt lakes

 

[Boboro]

Salt lakes is a funny name, no water for miles.

Nah no artificial warmth just the sun, its been stonking it down here over the last two days, as for how many its siting about ten to twenty of each so far so should be enough for my purposes

It is a beautifull city Boboro, a lot of kiwis rubbish invercargill and to be fair the weather can be crap but, its not as cold as other places in NZ. down here you can go hunting in pristine untouched forests 2 hours drive fish and dive the southern ocean in ten to twenty mintutes from the door.fossick for gold onthe beaches and in some creeks. the people are generally good buggars. I Like it and will most likely end up staying here for ever both above and below ground.
and burt used to test it on Oreti beach five minutes out of town. not a bad spot for surfing and casting. also some good eye fulls in the summer months

What's new? Any new pictures from your garden? Good luck.

 

[Seanz]

This year was a total washout. Nothing grew and what did got killed by water and cold I swear this has been a summer from hell. Can count the warm fine sunny days on one hand. Utter crap! So saving my pennies and investing in a growhouse for the next warm season if it happens...

I am in the desert here and have two green houses. Kinda need them. Sorry to here about Your grow. The sun will do good in overcast in a green house.

 

[Seanz]

Thanks Mad a green house will solve some of the issues

Sorry about your crap season Sean. As you know, I had to contend with so many windy days with heaps of damaged leaf. Overall though I have had a great season.
The seed I received from Alan and Knucks and distributed to you and Todd, is bagged for seed, so no worries here for our seed bank.
The NB11 seeds you sent me, well the plants eventually took off but then I had a bugger steal some baccy. Mostly the NB11 which was just recklessly torn off. Two plants survived and should flower in a couple of weeks.
After having some leaf stolen, I set up some trip wires and now have 4 security sensors monitoring my plot. The police were a waist of space!

Thieving hua's I am quite surprised I havent encountered ppl want to take my baccy. Damaged leaf can still be smoked tho. Luckily I still have last years leaf.

 

[grgfinney]

Sorry your grow didnt work out for you Seanz

 

[Mad Oshea]

Maybe wild game cameras for the police? And a break down price of the plants.
