[Growwine] DM8521-1

[Martin Paré]

Thanks for the insignt Larry & others,

was at the 'yard today.  Dm is really hardy.  Every single bud is at 05 stage 
and even stage. Others are more variable some buds at 05, mostly 03.

Game plan is to alter the solids (skin/seed/puklp) / liquid ratio during 
maceration.  DM has plenty of colour anyway. Brix should not be a problem 
from measured I took last Fall.
