Dang, 8 feet tall and wide? Must be a pound or 3 a plant!
I only keep the bud. The rest, a lot of it frosty goes the the guys that can't grow. I even leave a lot of the bud with the trim. I harvested about 1/2 of the hemp and had someone else come in and get the rest. I kept about 5 pounds of hemp bud out of five plants.
The pot really produced quite a bit. I gave the Chocolope plant, the tallest at about 12 feet, to an old lady friend of ours. It produces fairly well but not for it's size. That was about half of what it should have been. The plant was kind of sparse.The second Chocolope was male.
Diet Durbans were the heavy producers. They were big, bushy, beautiful plants. Got a bunch from them. The bad thing about the Diet Durban is it gave all of us the munchies and my daughter gained 2 pounds in one week. I have to hand it to Seedsman for producing such a nice plant. I only wish did what the name implied.
The Critical Mass got hit by borers and a strong wind took care of most of the rest of it.
I'll not grow that much ever again. Three weeks plus of trim time is too much. I'm now growing ONE little auto in my bedroom just for my pleasure of having a plant in here. The question is,
"Why grow that much more than you can use?".
