First outdoor grow, first plant to be chopped (pics)

[BWG707]

This is the only TNT Kush I grew, it's from a Eva fem. seed, and it's in a 10gal Smartpot. Finished at least a week before my Cherry Pie clones. Checked it this AM and most of the buds had about 20% amber Trics. Ill chop about half tomorrow and maybe wait a day or two and chop the rest. It seems that one side of the plant is riper than the other. Also, I did a little pre-harvest test from buds I accidentally broke off about a week and half ago and it was very potent. Hoping for good results. Any estimates on yield from this plant?

Nice work man. My guess would 1/4lb but I could be way off.

I've already harvested about 1 1/2oz from it, and that was only about 5 lower branches. I was looking for about 7 maybe 8oz. But I really have no idea just thought someone with more experience might better estimate the yield.

It's always hard the judge scale from a photo. 8oz is certainly possible.

Yeah, after looking through my pics I see what you mean. Can't really judge the size. I sure dont look forward to this trimming. It gets old real quick.

I'm just a "semi-amateur" with just 4 years of outdoor and 1 year of indoor experience, and each year/grow with about half a pound to 2 pounds....

But I think that plant could be good for 8 oz or so. I think it's roughly around the size of my better plants this year, though mine are topped and much more horizontal. And I think my best are around 200-250 grams or 8 oz.

Yeah it does. Took me months last year. I put everything in jars untrimmed and worked on it a little at a time. I'm planning to hire trimmers for the bulk of mine this year. Assuming I harvest enough to pay them. Most of them are family but they're still not free.

Funny you mention that- I'm also hiring a pro-trimmer to do my main harvest. Set it up today actually. We go on trust, we wait until its dried then donate per weight. I just can't see myself being able to get the trimming done in a timely manner without help. Plus I'm under some time restrictions. And this is just my personal meds grow. I kinda under-estimated and things got big fast. Learned plenty of lessons.

Looks to me like a 1/4 pound too..maybe a an oz more..hope its higher tho for ya! Good looking plant, gotta love cali weather!

Just got done trimming about half the plant- took less than 3 hrs, but my back is killing me. Just guessing but I'd say it should yield between 5 to 8oz. I only topped this plant twice, didn't do any training at all, it grew very symmetrical. My Cherry Pie clones were topped several times before I even got them and I also trained them- opened them up- and boy they got bushy as hell. They are only about 4 and 5ft tall but are 5 to 6ft around with bud sites everywhere. I'm bringing someone in to trim those for me, my back cant handle this crap. And yes the weather here in Cali is about perfect right now, low 80's. Cherry pie will be done in about a week, Girl Scout Cookies about 2 to 2 1/2weeks, and Sleeslack x Skunk #1 in about 3weeks. Can't wait for this season to be over with, it's been pretty hard on me, must be getting old.
