Well, drying time only lasted ~4 days - stems were already snapping at that point so they were all taken down and cut into jars on Tuesday evening (Nov 10th). We ended up losing almost EXACTLY 80% of our total wet weight which brought us in awefully close to 7 ounces dry. With the lower-branch buds we easily cleared 7.
Very, very impressed with our yield this time around - seems like mid summer to fall is a really good time to be growing in our climate. I'm trying to start another grow right now without much success so far - I'm wondering if it's partly due to our changing climate here right now. Oh well, the yield from this grow will last us well into late January at least! =)
If anyone is still out there watching, look for some more pics this weekend of the finished product in the curing jars. The jars will have been curing for about 4-5 days by this weekend so we'll start sampling a small amount and i'll possibly have a preliminary smoke report to follow.
