Aug 8. I had seen a lot of flowers, but hardly any female flowers. After a few didn't take off I decided to manually pollinate them and this one took off!

Aug 14. This is before I leave for a vacation, its growing pretty well.

Aug 25. Its growing a lot faster then I imagined! I hope my trellis (read: Fence) can handing the possible size of this monster!

Congrats Jeff on your 1st BG. Hopefully, you'll be able to make it to a weigh off with one next season.

Enjoy the off season.
