RDWC ( kind of ) 400W Shiva Skunk grow log (newb+pics)

[erwingruber]

Hello everyone ,

The harvest party just finished and
i have only good news for you .. and for me.
The smoke from test buds was knock off and
by far away from Big bud the taste and smell is somewhat mellow.
Those buds have very low leaf to bud ratio and they are
seriously Heavy , some buds from the pics bellow weight
good above 100 grams alone.

The total weight of the just choped buds was 1650 grams ( 3,6 pounds )
with 1280 of them ( 2,8 pounds ) from the two plants.
I am almost sure that in dry weight i reach my target to pass
the 0,5 gramm per watt and i am excepting 0,8 gpw and looking for higher too
any estimations will be handy.

I will post some pictures and i will be back with dry weights !!!

One from the Lower buds (like the one i tested) good final product.

really imressive bro...
let my ask you smething..your buds are really dry??
i mean crispy..

 

[erwingruber]

Hola tjo ,

No my buds is not Crispy like the shit we buy
from the street , i mean they do not turn to " dust
like" when you squeeze them between your fingers ,
but i do not like my bud like this.It burns fine and smokes smooth.
All the branches snap when trying to bend and this
signals for me transfer to class jars.
Based on the previous curing of my previous harvests
this is going to happend after almost 2 months in the glass
jars and i will try to avoid it this time with opening the big
jars rarely after the 2 first weeks maybe once every 3-4 days.
I also notice that the smoke become somewhat more harsh when
this happens.

I canot predict exact weight loss from this curing process
but by experience is not going to be over 10 grams max.

To tell you the truth i am not exited from dry weight numbers.
My buds dry weighted 1650 grams and i was very happy excepting something
around 400 grams.It was my first hydro and maybe in hydro buds
have more water inside , this stole from me one Big Glass jar or
100 grams and this hurt me.Maybe if i didn't fail my Scrog....

I am not complaining and i understand what you told
my about Shiva's in the beggining Big Bud is shit in front
of those Shiva buds. Cheers buddy
