Ground breaking thread on many different levels.

The in-depth detail and professionalism shown here is something that all serious grows should strive for.

I can't wait to hear more about this harvest.

Great job Aerokrafter!

I have been following this since day 1, questioned the 80 zips mark the entire time, and now that its ending even though I dont think you hit your mark, you still provided one of the best (and most detailed) journals I have ever read.

very nice work, and I admire your organization......now lets hear that number.

Weigh In - part 1

Let’s begin with the track plant. At fresh chop weigh in it was 10.5 oz. (Remember the paper plate weighs .3)

Dried with stix:

 
Dried without stix:


 
Our final dried weight for the track plant was 2.0 oz.


 
The “average plant” fresh weight was 17.3 oz.


Dried with stix:

 
Dried without stix:

 
Our final dried weight for our “average plant” was 3.3 oz.

Weigh In - part 2


Here’s what a quarter pound sack looks like. (1 gallon zip weighs .3)

QP:


Stacking these up on their own is impossible, so I borrowed a dish rack.

Rack:


Big Stack Weight:


 
To calculate final numbers, fist lets figure the tare weight.
12 bags + 1 plate = 3.9
Rack = 15.4
Total Tare = 19.3


Final weight
Total scale = 71.1
Total tare = 19.3
Net Final Weight = 51.8 oz
 
Our total grow weight was 3.2 lbs. This works out to a per plant average of 2.9 oz. Our 1,468 grams yields a gram per watt 0f 1.47.
