What Is the Weight of Your Harvest?

@AnneBonny They have lost their water weight, and everything is in jars now. I took a few grams to try out so waiting on a proper cure will be easier for me to do. I found the manicuring of the plants peaceful…almost meditative. They are all for me, so my style of trim is likely a lot less strict than other peoples.

@Tr33 I also enjoyed trimming mine. It is the final step after a long grow. It was satisfying just to be able to do after all the bud rot problems I had.
My dried weight was just under 5 oz. Plus a box of trim.
Not sure what kind of seeds I planted I bought from another sight as outdoor grow grab bag. Next spring I want to try some autos from ilgm.

Really …?

Next year, I’ll send mine to you for trimming. I find it a tedious, mind numbing bore.

So here are some more harvest numbers. The WW and Txaki are ready for harvest and will get the lights out for tonight and all day treatment to harvest tomorrow. But for now here is the last Girl Scout Cookie and the single THC Bomb. Not bad, for a first grow, but there WILL be improvement next time. I will say, of all the samples I shared, everyone said it was better than their grow personally, and I take that as the hugest compliment. One guy I know has been growing for YEARS. I only share this because in part my success is owed to all of you. Thanks everyone.

That’s a grand compliment for sure!! Going to be challenging to improve what’s already “better than” but I know you can do it :v:

That’s why we do it.

My previous coworker came over Friday after work so I could thank him with some weed and he was blown away! Here’s this squared away older guy he worked with for years, intellectually understood that I was growing pot but when I opened the cupboard door and 24 1 quart jars crammed full of bud were lined up he about sh** himself! Haha! I gave him a jar and some samples from the latest.

The quality of the smoke - - - the smokeability? is so much better than my first grows there is hardly a comparison!

My one indoor Northern Lights plant gave me 178.8 grams of dry buds. It was only 44" tall, so that’s not bad. At the rate I smoke that 6 ounces should last me all year.

5 gallon plastic bucket with holes in the bottom. Miracle Grow potting soil with time release nutrients, plus a little bloom fertilizer when in flower. 400 watt HPS lamp start to finish. It was a learning experience. Next grow will be LEDs, coco coir, cloth pots, DynaGrow nutrients with adjusted pH.

Ok for all of you “super croppers” here are the results. Same strain, same growing conditions, same lighting. It’s about as scientific as you can get with out a lab!
White widow 73 grams wet left alone.
White widow 92 grams wet super cropped.
Is it worth the extra few? You decide. My personal review is if I do this again, I’ll be sure to trim under the canopy, as I had much smaller flowers underneath the canopy. This is a great substitute for a scrog with out the net, and it preserves the main cola. All of the flowers that had adequate light exposure were more uniform in size and larger than the one left alone.
The white widow that got left alone had the standard smaller on bottom larger as you go up kind of thing.
On top of this all another bonus seed was found! FTW!!
