easy now,

Im doing a 9 plant grow (skunk #1) and i chopped 4 last night, manicured them, and hung em up to dry in a cupboard... How much do you think i'll end up with (just the ones in the pic)?

Theres a 500ml coke bottle just behind the far bud as an idea of size...

Also, do the wise elders of this community manicure when the bud is still wet, or when its dry? im considering manicuring AFTER drying on the other 5 that arent yet ready, just to see if it improves the flavour.... is it really hard to do once the leaves have shrivelled and curled up?

As always many thanks for your input and advice thats got me this far.... if i could i would pass you this doob.

Manicure when wet... much easier job...

As for the hanging gold, I would guess between 75 to 100 grams ,,, though I hope you get more....

Thanks for the input guys.... i was hoping for an ounce a plant so maybe if the other five are indeed bigger then i might hit that!

But what i wanted to know is whether allowing the leaves to droop over the buds slows the airflow around the drying buds and produces a better smoke? The last stuff i dried i manicured dry and prob dried it too quick and it didnt end up that nice. I'm going to give it a shot anyway i think... unless im told otherwise...

Thanks so much for the guesses guys... a weight has been lifted from my shoulders

Thanks Cee that means alot - fucked up my first 3 grows, the 4th was meagre and i had to move house about 2 weeks before flowering so it was a bit shit. Finally grew some healthy plants! The other 5 are still covered in white hairs and larger plants then the ones you can see so if your guess is good i should see more then 1oz a plant. I will def post dry weight of this harvest (cos the other half will be at least a week) - going to weigh and jar them.

Peace with extra cheese

ps. what does +rep mean? cheers anyway

well done everyone who guessed 2 ounces....

the dry weight was 65g - im dissappointed and seriously hoping the other 5 girls have serious budding to do... an ounce a plant seems far away right now!

On the plus side - this stuff tastes amazing only 6 days after chop-chop and its so sticky! The 48hrs darkness really does the trick.

Stay tuned for harvest part II

I love when it remains sticky as shit after being dried. Sounds like you got some awesome smoke should make the jars smell sweet as hell while curing

cheers man - the jars are mouthwatering indeed! Made some cannabis oil from 15g of whole unground buds - got about a teaspoon of lovely amber sticky oil in a little vial and when the butane evaporated from the buds i used they are still pretty strong to smoke! Might repeat that with about 50g of bud from the second harvest hehehe
