After hanging for almost 4 days I decided to chop her up and jar her, I'll leave the buds in jars with lids off over night and then dump them and let them air for several hours tomorrow, they are still slightly wet for the jar but they were drying unevenly. I have a drying rack on the way in the mail, this will have to do for now. I'll get you guys a weight from the runt as soon as she sheds the rest of her water weight. I'm guessing 40 grams or so, she isn't as dense as I thought but still nice and firm, and smells like a mixture of sweet fruits and pine, with a hint of citrus. Covered in a nice layer of trics too. I'm happy with it. I'll send a gram or two to the lab from my best plants(this one is my worst) and see how high I got my thc count. I'm guessing high teens maybe 20%. But I am biased lol. This plant as is right now looks like stuff I have paid 40 for an eighth from the dispensary.

Or you can keep them in a brown paper bag at this point. Helps pull that moisture out of the stems for more even drying.

Totally dry and into jars, her final trimmed weight was 53g. I. Going to do more wet trimming in the next one. I am selectively harvesting the top parts of my next plant today, 25%amber or so. In an hour or so when I cut I'll post pics.

Fella that is so nice to see. It looks very top shelf to me

Thanks Bud gal, John. I am happy with them, there is better stuff out there for sure but I'm a pot snob and I am happy. I just cut some tops off my next plant for harvest, I'm gonna wet trim these so hopefully they dont look so leafy. Here they are on the plate, when I get em trimmed and hung I'll post more pics..At this point I think I I'll keep and smoke my colas and I'm gonna hash the rest or maybe press it if I decide to buy that nugsmasher I have been eyeballing.

Here they are all trimmed up and hanging, left a few sugar leaves that I plan on trimming dry just to keep the buds from drying too fast. Pulling the bottom half of the plant in a day or two and putting in the dark.theres still about an ounce worth of buds on the bottom half of the plant and I bet 35 grams hanging at least. Yay!

Wow. I forgot how much hand trimming so much flower sucks. I chopped down my last plant last night, have 6 of 11 trimmed and dry in jars, gonna wait to weigh until I get the last of the plants dry and trimmed. I ordered a triple beam for the nostalgic fun. Also have pollen collector and 12 ton dab press on the way, any day. I am gonna end up with roughly 2 gallon bags full of larf buds and good sugar leaves for hash. And well over a pound, close to two of nice tops. I'll post some glamour shots of all the spoils on a table at some point tonight or tomorrow. So far I have 19 32 oz ball jars full of trimmed nugs. Gonna fill at least another 12. Thanks for the info and encouragement guys and gals, I know I would not have done so well without you all. My stash and I appreciate everything.
