You are doing a great job with the plants, but you really should start drinking some better beer.

WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!! HARVEST DAY!!!!!

I clipped the plants an hour ago and am letting them hang while I take care of my daily work. Trimming starts this evening!

Here we go!

THERE is no particular order but There are four plants Fraggle Rock, AK47 x Hawaiian, Grand Daddy Purps, and Purps#1. Unfortunately my purps stains didnt seem to show to much of a purps pheno but they are dank!

One plant (grand daddy) is split into two stalks

Overall This was yielded from a 36x20 inch tent that was 5ft tall.
I had one 400w HPS for flower and a 400 mh for flower.

I HAVE two main forums following this grow so the final post is a direct copy but for those following this forum here are the final results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here is an initial dry weight. The buds are dry to the touch and the stems are just barely flexable but not brittle so im letting them air out for 6 hours and then putting them into jars!

From my 36"x20"x56" 400w set up I have a initial yield of

320.3 grams or 11.49oz



From the FRAGGLE ROCK aka the BUSH 124.5g


The AK x Hawaiian 103.9


The grand Dad 48.9g



And the Purps #1 43g


I expect a 10-15 gram loss still in weight throughout the entire crop.
Overall lets put it at 305g with a 400w light thats
0.76g per watt average!!!!!

If I read this correctly they have only been drying 2 days. Unless you live in the desert where there is no humidity, they will lose a lot more than 10-15 grams.

My advice to you is to very carefully about putting them in the jars as there is likely a lot more moisture in the buds than you think. It usually takes me 5-6 days in the summer to get my buds dry enough to jar at dry at 65% and 70% relative humidity in the jars.

Yes it seemed shocking to me aswell because ive grown outside before but I have 4 hydrometers and they are all at 68-70% humidity if jared (i tested it out with a sample jar for each).

I am following the "a perfect cure everytime forum". I purchased the same hydrometers and am following its RH % guide

Also If it means anything I took all the fans leaves that were left off during flush and lowered the light for the last two days raising my temps to 83 degrees average never went above 84 tho. I also noticed that the nugs were all smaller since i spread them out so much with scrog but they all looked like top colas.

I find that 1oz of most stains fits into a quart jar rather nicely. Take a one ounce sample of buds and put it in the jar with a hydrometer and let it sit for 24+ hours. My guess is that the RH will climb slowly as the moisture is released to well above 70%.
