Actually, now i look at your plants fdd, i think that estimate i made was a bit out. Those plants are mostly leaf

How much you think you'll pull of that, a couple of oz?

hey fd how long do you leave them hang before you put them into jars?

Thats what i figured, don't get me wrong your plants look huge and massive, but the buds are always hidden by leaves and it can be hard to tell sometimes.

I was way out with my guess, I think your right you will do well to make that 3lb mark you said about.

depends on the weather. i dry in a converted barn. there is a lot of ventilation so outside weather affects drying time. somewhere between 5 to 10 days.

5 to ten days...
i'm also gettin close to harvest and am trying to figure out the best way to drr/sweat/cure the buds..

here's where i'm at.......



i took a 6 ounce sample last week.......


i trimmed this last night.........

i have lenses and loops and scopes and such.

this one probably could have gone another week or so but i need to start bringing some in. i put it into 12/12 when it was 12" to determine sex. when i went back into veg with it it never fully recovered. it has little spindly resinleess buds just below big fat sticky colas.

i've not seen it quite like this before. usually it's fluffy buds but these are a little different. could be lack of light due to the density of the plant......



it was pissing me off so it took her down.

glad i did what i did. we had rain yesterday. i got to the top cola and found 2 little spots of dead growth. this was from the first 12/12 of sexing. it was buried all the way in the bottom of the bud. it was wet. in 2 days it would have turned to rot. ......




all done.........

MMMmmm you have sooo much cannabis. Maybe next year I can grow 1/3 that...

Just wondering, how do you connect those fat nugs to the line to hang and dry?

just hook the bud over the string. hook it using a side nugget. be careful when you lift one off or you will "slingshot" the whole line of buds into the air and you can only catch 2 as they fall to the floor. one in each hand. the rest go everywhere.

Oh, it looked like you had some magical floating bud or something...

Jeez man! Why didnt you call me?! I was gonna help you harvest!
