Well - by that measure I’m only at 5 and 6 week vegs respectively.
I’ve also got the issue that I’m likely to produce far more than I need. Planning to just basically give it away. That said, for me it’s really just the challenge of producing the most awesome plant I can. Some day I’d like to hit a pound for a single plant indoors.
Too afraid to sell it. Too much to lose at this point in my life.
I have no interest in selling anything. The other problem I have is that even though legal here in state, my local friends aren't necessarily ones that I want to know I'm growing and all that, so It's been harder to give it away than you'd think. My wife keeps saying that so-and-so that she's friends with would be happy with some, but when I tell her to give away a bunch, it never happens. I've been converting a bunch of it to FECO to use for other projects and will continue to do that and/or make oil/butter based edibles as well.
Being centered on churning out a specific amount is probably not a good mode for a first grow. Grow to learn the basics and as it comes together you'll end up with better harvests. My first tentful only ended up being half a pound. The second time it was 3/4ths of a pound, etc., etc. etc.
As someone who's an innate researcher/analyzer in general, I too did a whole bunch of reading and exploring online before I jumped in. And it feels like you have a handle on things until you do it. But there's a certain amount that you just need to do and work through to figure out, and other things that you have to see what works best vs. what others are telling you.
One of the reasons I'm doing a classic sativa right now is that I know that they tend to go long and sometimes are a bit lighter in yield...that fits what I need. I like the growing and I have a pound sitting on the shelf already. Time to slow down, spend time doing a bit more training and trimming, allowing for recovery and not worry about a long flower period.
