My harvest with pics... guess dry weight?

[growerboy]

For those of you who are interested, here is my first grow journal.

What a day was yesterday!

After 18 weeks of flowering (plus 8 of vegging), AND 3 days of dark, this beauty was chopped:

Here is the harvest:

And this is the final result:

Can you guess the dry buds weight?

I even found one seed I wasn't aware of (probably from her brother pollen): I'll call it Sativa Hope

Here's what I'm gonna do with the harvest:

Trimmings will go into some cookies.
Fan leaves are gonna be liquour.
Seed will go into a pot next spring.
Buds... after dried and cured, &


One thing I didn't forecast, was the very first hash: rubbing my hands, I came up with a very delicious and potent kief, that I smoked while trimming.

Here's some of it (total 2 joints came out):

The first one you see in the white bowl, is really premiere quality kief. Second one is rubbed out from scissors after trimming, and while full of plant material, was very "gummy" and potent.

Fan leaves are now gonna stay into pure alcohol for 2 months, to make an herb liquor (not psychoactive):

I also ended up with a nice Christmas Tree to try revegging with:

2ozs... re-veg??? reveg what???

 

[growerboy]

re-veg??? reveg what???

Ha ah, took it way too far, eh?

Nope, it is just my x-mas tree (I'll put green gifts under it myself ).

Just an experiment, I left a few leaves and some bud growth... let's see if she dies, lives, or grows.

dude, is that the plant that only got sun from your window? it looks really really good....nice work. lol

 

[punkenstien]

i would say 1/2 oz

Yes, only sun from the window. Like an indoor greenhouse, with no lamps. Indeed I moved her almost everyday to maximize exposition.
I live in a sunny house and country, plus the weather helped a lot this year

1 ounce maybe 1.25. they dont look dense so cant be sure

are you kidding, that the best i've seen for using window light. wow

No kidding
I just happen to live in a sunny country and house. That was an excellent summer, we even had 2 out of 3 sunny days in october.
Plus I moved the plant almost everyday, to maximize the hour-by-hour sun exposure.
Thanks

Only buds here: popcorn, trimmings and leaves are left out of the pic.

To give you a measure, my hand is 8.3 inches from palm to finger tip, as well as the scissors.

no matter what it is you should be happy, with a closer look would say.75 oz just not dense, but thats to be expected with low light... invest and some light and lets see what you can with the same setup. cant imagine what a 400w hps would of done to this plant. probably 2-3 oz

 

[sogbunn]

lookin at it now, after all the stem and shits gone... ide 1 and an 1/8 off that...

 

[sogbunn]

its dead bro...

 

[c5rftw]

its dead bro...

actually that does work believe it or not, it will start re-vegging if enough leaves are left and its under 18/6 of course. i didn't believe it but i've been shown several times that it does come back

I AM Happy in fact, really!

And no, I don't feel envy for those who post pics of tree mj fields... it is my first grow, started as an experiment, turned out just great that far.
I was just curious about weight, that's it, but it's for me (and a few close relatives), not for sale.

I agree it is not very dense, but I read that sativas (as this plant seems to be, at least mainly) are fluffier than indicas.

A friend of mine put another seed from the same weed outdoor in soil, his plant is 7.5 feet tall, and I can't even imagine his yield!

Also I gave 2 clones to another friend, who potted them in a very good soil outdoor; his colas are about the same size of the top cola of my plant, each.

My other clone that stays in front of my other window will yield just one fat joint, for the sake of comparison.

Really great potential plant imho, probably wasted with my setup. Indeed I'm happy
I'm hoping in the seed I found... but I know that one seed only is a great risk for a grow.

I don't have the space here for a grow room, so next year I will do with sun again... maybe 2 or 3 plants (kept short) instead of just 1.

it will re-veg, all you need is a popcorn bud(or2) and some fan leaves and lots and lots of time. i dont think its worth it however, but thats besides the point. lol.

yah i dont believe its worth it either, but hell if your gonna "experiment", why the hell not

I have everything: some fan leaves, some pocorns, and plenty of time. Lighting will be weaker and weaker as time passes and winter approaches, but I hope it's just enough to keep her alive and green. I'll keep it in the living room with the roof lights on.

I know it isn't probably worth it if you look at yield, but hey mates it's my x-mas tree! I'd just love to have it somewhat green for x-mas

Plus, I'm learning... and if she does it to the next summer (but I seriously doubt it), I can always clone!
