Harvest happened over a week ago, but did not find the time to upload the pics for the update. Sadly the camera battery died during the harvest and I still can't find the charging cable for it, so part of the pics are taken with the phone.
Weed is great to smoke, even if it doesn't look stellar. My biggest mistake was letting them to dry out too much that one time when I wanted to give them a small drought and forgot about them overnight. (stoner mistake)
As you can see, the top was almost dead and dried by the time of the harvest. Total yeld was a bit under 5 gr. dried (around 4.5 gr.). If I count the small buds I took for smoke test before cutting it it would be around 5 gr. Not a bad harvest for a cup that small, since the weed is so nice to smoke. Anyway, when I started this my dream was to finish it with at least a plant, and to be able to fill that cup she was in with dried bud. And I managed that so I'm happy. Next time will be much better, as i plan independent watering for each plant and of course I won't make the mistake of leaving them to dry out.

Yeah, pics of the dried buds are missing, and I'm sorry for that, I'm sure I done some, can't find them anywhere for some reason. Probably downloaded them for phone when high and put them somwhere "safe". lol

Smoke reports like that make me too confused, so many numbers and ascii characters. Not sure if I'm dyslexic or something, just feels like I'm trying to read an unknown language.
I been thinking for a while to make a custom version for icmag, but I'm not that good with those editable PDF sheets that they use for online forms. I guess it would be easier to follow as a PDF, since this one looks much better in an word document before I copy and paste it to the forums. If any of you worked with those editable pdf files, or have a better ideea, drop me a pm. Thanks.
You're not the only person out there Psyphish. I feel much the same as you. I wondered if I wasn't the only person. Its too much information for me when I see a smoke report like that. Information overload. My brain can't handle it. I tend to just skim over reports like that trying to snag a snippet from it before I move on.
