Just a note on wieght, mine came in dryed at ~

90 grams in just Tops alone
21 grams in buds below
17 grams in bottom/thin/fluffy buds.

I recomend taking off all thin stems after 2-3 weeks of 12/12 and really keeping her cleaned up all the way till the end.
That 17 grams looks decent and all, but the energy could of been used elsewere. I plan on saving it up with other lower buds I soon will harvest and making a nice tincture.

:clap: congrats GG13!!! QUITE a harvest of this danky smelling goodness. did u trim before u dried??
What I did was ( as always) brought the whole plant into the my work area and while she was still standing in the soil I start with one branch at a time and take all the fans leafs off, then snip off the branch and hang it above my table where there is a tray below and I trim her up real close and personal. Then I hang that on a close hanger and start another branch, until the whole plant is done.
I take all the fans from the floor and trash them, then I take all the trim leafs (sugar leafs) and dry them to make butter.
Once all is dry, I seperate all bud into 3 section~ Top Colas/ mid buds/ small stuff for oil/tinctures.

ive heard that trimming before drying releases terpens therefore lossing some smell?? have u heard anything like this?? just curious cuz i was thinking of testing this theory. trim half before hanging, then trimming half before jarring them. wat do u think tho??
 
FuZZYBuDz, the BW's are growing under a 600 watt and they are being fed Connoisseur A&B + the full Advanced Nutrients line with a few extra additions...I think they're gonna need another 3-3.5 weeks until they are fully ripe..check out my grow journal as I will keep it updated weekly. Happy smoking...:bigjoint:

Never have heard this before? The terpenes are at the bottom of the ball on the trich, so why would that happen?
I just simply cut off fans, toss in trash, Snip off branch then take off all sugar leafs, keep, then trim up nicely and hang.
There is no way that the plant has anytime to do anything. It takes me 2 hours on average to do this.
Yeah I have never read in any book about lose of terpenes due to trimming while planted. :joint:

Going to Harvest my SLH (below) today. Plan on doing same way as usual. Will post a few pics ( in link below).
