6.5 oz dry. Little less than expected. More than enough. May ditch the cool tube for an air cooled next go round whenever that may be. Going to trim then dry next time. It doesn't make trimming more difficult, I'd just rather do it when it's wet. The high. Is I will have to say a bit strange. I haven't smoked any today but I find myself spacing off as if I have been. It's weird. I highly doubt a high could last almost 24 hours but it is odd. Besides that it's really intense and long lasting 3-4 hours usually. Very heady, you can feel it in your head as if your head is under pressure. Also, a very body high. I sometimes feel as if I can't move my limbs. I don't think it would be good for eating. I haven't yet ate anything while high. Very energetic. It's a very overall enjoyable high. I'd definitely give the high an 8 out of 10. It hits you hard, but I've had bud that hits harder. Bag appeal is def 10/10. Smell 9/10. Overall it's up there with the best IMO. Highly recommend everyone give Pineapple Express a try.

I will say that leaving the leaves on definitely helped with the smell. It doesn't at all smell like grass. Every time I trim then dry/cure it smells like grass until a week or so in the curing jar. After a day in the jar this smells amazing.

Oh man thanks for that, sealed the deal for the PE for me. I have a 2x4x6 area so im thinkin about getting a 600 cooltube instead of 400 its frigid here in winter and i have hefty ac anyway. I learned the drying method idea from you too thanks, humidity here is only around 10-20% year round (desert) so i think i'll need humidifier.
And is it that much more intense from your last strain? And your yield last go around if it was same setup?

It probably is hitting you unusually hard and long since you have never smoked PE before.
I remember the first time I smoked WW. Two tokes and I was couchlocked for four hours...lol.

It's much better than the Strawberry Diesel. That yielded 5oz.

Yea probably. I'm going to use a half an ounce or so to make some cannabutter. That should be interesting.

I'd just rather get it out of the way so I don't have to deal with it later I guess.

Amazing grow...6.5oz ain't bad for 8 weeks. What would you do differently the next go to increase your yield? Do you think the 6.5oz was because of pheno type or what?

Um,. no, I think it comes down to the cool tube. It does cut down on lumen. Overall the grow was basically perfect. I let them get a bit too dry. I think that affected the yield a bit as well. Usually shouldn't lose that much but I did weight the stems and leaves with it.

Well.... I ended up cutting her down this
morning as I had planned. The task was a bit more daunting than I remember(probably because wife always does the trimming). She is not here. She's at work, so I had to tackle the task alone. Albeit I said fuck it 7 cola's into the job and hung the rest up. Now.. Before everyone shits a brick, I'd like to say that I read a little while ago a very convincing piece on why to leave the leaves on. So I did.. What the hell, I like trying new things. I did get a wet weight(including stems).. I think i messed up a few times and was not about to reweigh the 50+ colas. I came up with 47oz. What is dry? 75-80% of wet? So.. 9.5-11.75oz dry. I'll take a picture of the roots later when I have another pair of hands.

Humidity is floating around 52-58% which is nice. Temperature is 70-66.









I know these are heavier than the Strawberry Diesel as the screen came crushing down when I tried to close the tent. Ended up using string to hold the screen up from the top frame. I also bought some new string. I like it will be using it form now on. :D

Something cool I noticed. The fan leaves encase the buds as if it's protecting them from something? Really neat.

When you feed your waterfarm do you just pour your solution over the hydroton? I was thinking of getting a funnel and pouring it down the drain tube.

You pour over the hydroton, pouring the soloution in the drain tube will be very hard once you start flowering good.
