I know i cant wait to see the buds on some future generations!!! Im pretty satisfied with the results taking into account my shotty setup. That baby weighed in at 34g wet so im guessing like 10-14 dry??? I dont know how to estimate how much will dry up. It was kinda the biggest 1 from the first group so im guessing 30g wet each from the next few.

Its realy hard to guess dry weight.. My biggest bud i grew so far was that fat lst nug after thr dry it only weighed 6.5 g's... But all the popcorn really adds up ..or if you cut it all off early enough all that weight goes to the main cola:) on average i would say the nugs shrink to half there size and 1/3 of there weight:) the slower you dry the less"shrinkage" you get:)

Thanks Guys! SO wow my shit dried out way too fast!! I just hung it in a dark cupboard for a couple days and didnt get back to it for 3 days and it was super crisp..... out of 34g of wet i only got just over 7g dry, I have it in a jar and its been smelling/smoking better every day.. SO far the smoke is pretty good guys, it smells like real danky citrus and burns to a white ash.. The taste is a little harsh but nothing an riu member couldnt deal with... As soon as i inhaled it gave me that chest burn feeling.. Not the one where it hurts but the one where it feels like all kindsa adrenaline is pumping into your chest! Before i exhaled i was already light headed.. I held it in so long that i had the little waaaa waaa waaa waaa noise goin on in my head..... After that i honestly just layed on my bed with a big smile listening to DR.Drew on loveline for an entire show before i even needed another hit.

It did get me ssuper high but i think ill wait a smidge longer for the next ones>>>! Thanks for the support guys !:joint:

You'll only get better each time.This grow is such a vast improvement on my first grow.....partially because I know more, and also because the genetics are better,and the environment I'm growing in. I'm learning to be patient and "listen" to the plant.

I just harvested three ladies and i wanna make hash with the trim. This is the easiest method i found, anyone try this??

Blender Unlike the previous methods which use screens to filter the trichomes, the blender method uses the principle that the resin glands are heavier than water, while other plant material is not.
The blender method uses water, ice and agitation to dislodge the trichomes. Ice-water makes the trichomes brittle, causing the resin glands to solidify and become easy to snap off. The glands are heavier than water so they sink to the bottom when separated, while the plant material floats.
To make hash this way you'll need a blender, ice cubes, a reusable metal coffee filter or silk screening, a large glass jar and paper coffee filters.
Fill the blender about half-way with skuff, then cover with cold water and add a tray of ice cubes. Blend for 45 seconds to a minute ? the mixture will become green and frothy, like a smoothie. Pour this mix through the metal coffee filter into your glass jar. Run more water through the filter to make sure you haven't missed any trichomes.
Once your jar is full, put it in the fridge to settle for a minimum of 30 minutes. You 0should be able to see a white or blonde coloured substance settling on the bottom of your container ? those are the trichomes. Carefully, so you do not disturb the trichomes, pour off or siphon off about two-thirds of the green water.
If you have more skuff to process, do it now and filter into the container you just drained. Return to the fridge, allow to settle and siphon again. When you have processed all your skuff, add a few ice cubes to the container and let settle one last time.
If you want to increase the purity of your product you can carefully put this settled mixture back into the blender for a final mix and separation. This may or may not be necessary depending on your preference.
Pour the final mix of water and trichomes through a paper coffee filter. The water will pass through the paper but the glands will not. Drain well and allow to dry. You now have dried resin glands ready to be pressed into hash.

I tried it once, didn't work for me.But I didn't have a ton of trimmings like I probably should have.

Didn't really get anything,but I only had the trim off of two small plants.I also didn't have real silk screen or a metal filter, ended up using some superfine cloth.I was a noob,so that's probably why.
