First Harvest Completed! How much do you think? (pics)

So after countless hours of hard work, blood, sweat and tears (started construction last September) I was able to harvest my first crop last night. It was sorta sad to cut Kate down but I said a little thank you and cut her branch by branch on the 60th day of flowering. She was 93 days old total.

The strain is Big Buddha-Cheese from the Attitude seedbank. She was grown in Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil and given Fox Farm Nutes. She was pretty nute burned because I am dumb and over fed her by alot. I had her on plain distilled water for her last two weeks of life but I can only imagine what I would had gotten If I didn't nute burn her. She was Flowered under a Floralux 150 watt hps and four 45 watt cfls.

After harvesting and manicuring Kate (which tooks hours and was a bitch), I weighted what I was able to get off the plant and I came up with 235.7 grams WET. The pictures are a little deceiving because I cut alot of the big parts of the stem off and tossed them, so there is a significantly less amount of stems in the buds than in the pictures. I figure to discount 100-120 grams off for stem weight which'll leave me with around 100-120 grams. Then you gotta figure i'll lose 60-70 grams due to water loss/drying.

What do you guys think? How do the buds look? Is expecting around 30 grams realistic?

Oh forgot. They are hanging upside down in my closet. The temperature in my room is 68 (ideal drying temp is 65-75) and the humidity is around 30% (ideal drying humidity 40-60%) so we'll see how they turn on. The box has holes in both sides and has a fan on one side blowing fresh air through the box.

I have also moved my clone girlies up from the clone/veg area into the flowering chamber. They are nute burned too but will not be in the future. Like the last time, the two girls will compete for life. The best looking girl with the best height/bud size gets to live while the other, weaker plant is cut and destroyed. My chamber is just not big enough for two. Meanwhile I have two more clones just starting to root. I love growing :)
 
im usen that same lite. lemme me know your end totals i been wonderin what kinda results to expect. i got three ladies under one in dro..30 grams sounds about right. buds look nice to me.. keep it up.. keep me poated you gotta couple days of dryin ta do..
 
that would be nuts! I would be stoked. and to think i fucked this up super super bad by nute burning the hell outta her. can't imagine what i woulda got if i didn't burn her...
 
Zip at the least. Everything else will just be a bonus I've heard most people can calculate a reasonable dry weight by using 30-35% of the wet weight.
