Well, I am not totally displeased with my overall plant weight. The plants, due to my over manipulations, were not as large as expected, The weight of 10 of the dried plants is 252 grams/9 zips, with two plants (WR's) still drying. So based on the previous weights the estimate should be some where around 11 zips. But I think the last two plants drying now have a bit more weight on them,so after these two finish drying I should be just under or right at 12 zips. They got an extra weeks growth and they really seem to pick up some weight after I got the FFG's problem taken care of, as did the Exodus Cheese. I hope so anyway.
I had hoped for 1/2 to 3/4 zips per plant, Just wonder what could have been if the Fucking fungal gnats had not reared their ugly heads.
Hey GR very nice looking buds, looks like there was no hit on the quality. I do hate gnats also but compared to the deadly 3 "M"s mites mildew and mold gnats are just a pain in the ass. I do envy the extended vacation concept.
I am not displeased with the quality at all.
The EC is just wonderful smoke, great fragrance, very nice stone, uplifting, lots of energy but smoke that extra bowl in the morning and you will take a nap that afternoon, LOL.
I really love the dry they received (plyant and sticky yet burns very even and slow when smoked in a joint I hope that the cure exposes more fragrance and taste to the buds. My last few cures have gone well.
The WR, which I am smoking a fatty of as I write this, has a milder buz and is a sat you down for awhile smoke. Going to be a good evening smoke. Again the draw is smooth, not a lot of flavor with it, but it burns well. I did dry one batch a little to much, but after putting them in the curing jars with the Boveda packs they have become a bit more pliable.
I have been doing some blends of my smoke, mixing some WR/EC in various ratios. Also blending some of my older stashes with these two new strains. Different taste, both draw and exhale, can distinguish the difference in the buz and flavors.
White Rhino, on the drying rack.
Final weights to come!

I did notice that after I got the FFG's under control that both plants began putting on new pistils and began regrowth. You can see that in the above picture. The EC began Foxtailing heavily after the pest control.
