ONE GOOD YEAR

This whole chapter is a work of fiction.

By the start of August 1997 1 had realised that the Spirit Gunja had given me one good plant at the same time that I had the idea for this book. It was up to me to make the most of it.

I'LL JUST MENTION A BIT ABOUT THIS MOTHER PLANT: This original mother plant was given to me via seed from a mate. At the time, start of April 1997, 1 had run out of seed and most of the plants that I had growing weren't going to yield much so I was desperate to get a few more plants going so I could hopefully make some money. As up until that time all my growing efforts since being released from gaol had been fruitless and I was just getting by with no cash on the side to do anything. I couldn't even afford a new tyre for my motorbike.

So a mate gave me about a dozen seeds. I threw them into the ground and never expected much. But there was one plant that grew better than all the others so I decided to keep it going not knowing if it was a male or female. By the end of May, after I'd harvested my most dismal crop ever of dope and it was looking like I may never: make any money out of gunja ever again, this one plant was still powering on and looking fucking good.

This was an amazing plant and was a pure female of dark purple colour. The plant grew to about one metre high and wide and had beautiful resinous thick heads and mid August I cut it back and she yielded 6 good ounces of top quality heads.
