UPDATE! FIRST HARVEST REPORT! W/PICS!
UPDATE! FIRST HARVEST REPORT! W/PICS!
Ok. Sorry for the neglect everybody. Had a lot going on and just didn't have time to get the pics uploaded until just now.
9 days after harvesting and hanging to dry, I removed the remaining stem and weighed everything before putting it into the curing jars.
The official weights in the pictures reflects only the weight of what you see in the picture. Prior to this official weigh-in, I test smoked:
The test-smoke is not included in the official weigh in pics/data below. (Keep in mind also that I left a significant amount on each plant in order to help it stay alive until it reverts):
#2 - 7.8g / #3 - 9.3g / #6 - 7.2g / #7 - 8.6g
#8 - 7.8g / #9 - 4.6g / #11 - 6.8g / #16 - 5.5g
#39 - 7.3g / Ice Mountain (16oz) 4.3g / Pure life (16oz) 4g / TriTop - 8g
AK47 - 7.6g
So the total weight for all 13 plants as of the official weigh-in is 89.3g.
If you add in the weights of what was test smoked, the total harvest is 92.6g or right around three ounces.
My 32oz containers averaged 7.66g each.
My 16oz containers averaged 4.15g each.
Average for whole grow is 7.12g per plant
Just for giggles, I weighed up all of my stems when I was finished. There were about 33g of stems... so that means my bud/stem ratio in terms of what was produced is around three grams of bud for every gram of stem.
So I spent a little under $500 to build and conduct this first grow. It yielded me 3.3 oz for my first time out. Street value in my region is about $480 per ounce (1/8th at a time @ $60 a pop). So I basically tripled my investment and succeeded in removing myself from the black market in my very first test run of the cab.
My goal was to achieve two ounces so that this could carry me through until the second harvest, after which time, the perp harvest will go into full effect. This goal was exceeded by 50%!
If I populate this cabinet with only the best two of my 13 specimens, I can expect the average per plant to go from 7.66 to around 9.2.
A few pages back someone asked how I was planning to harvest once I get to perpetual, since I'd only be able to get 25 of these 32oz containers in the chamber.
These plants were harvested after 8.5 weeks, so if I assume an approximate 9 week cycle, we can see that with 25 total plants, I'd be able to potentially harvest approximately 3 plants per week. If I can get 9g per plant, 3 plants a week will yield about one ounce per week, every week from a two sq ft space. Which would make me very happy indeed.
I made some green dragon tincture last night using my leaf trim and a half a bottle of everclear. It's sitting in the dark with the lid off so that some of the alcohol can evaporate.
Stay tuned kids. This is just the first chapter.
Harvest is in day 4 of curing in glass jars in the darkness.
There are 13 potential moms reverting in the left chamber.
There are 14 clones that just switched over to 12/12 two days ago in the right chamber. 3 of the 14 clones are of the AK47.
AK is the best smoking, best tasting, best looking, most powerful of the plants in this harvest. Can't wait until the whole room is full of it. I'll probably keep whichever plant I decide I like second best (for variety) and get rid of the rest of the moms.
