Here is the bud report of the 4 BigBud#2 plants I harvested last week.

Plant1 = 91g dried and trimmed
Plant2 = 102g dried and trimmed
Plant3 = 89g dried and trimmed
Plant4 = 102g dried and trimmed
4 Plant TOTAL = 384 grams

The smell is intense (skunky) the smoke is smooth. The high strength is about a 7 and lasts 45minutes to 1 hour. overall I give it a solid 8.
I would have liked more weight(125g/plant) and bud density. I think I can get 150g/plant with only 3 plants in flower at a time which I'm doing right now. only 3 plants in flower. I'm also testing the effect big bud has, as I'm not going to use it with the 3 currently in flower but I am going to increase the amount of base nutes I use and I will still be using pro-tekt and bud candy.
Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I will keep this journal going until the 3 plants currently in flower are harvested so keep watching

Nice just 64 grams shy of a pound. Nice journal man. Have you started up your next grow to keep the cycle going? Got to love the DM nutes.

Day 24 of flower.....

 

[sostenon250]

My journal is almost complete, I harvested the 3 plants in flower last week and hung them to dry.....

 

[sostenon250]

I just started the trimming and curing process. When they are all dried I will post the final weight.....

 

[DocDee]

Looks awesome my friend! Approximately how much weight is lost during the curing process ya think?

 

[sostenon250]

Thanks Doc! from my experience i would guestimate 1-1.5gr per oz

 

[DocDee]

Yeah just harvested myself last Monday put exactly one zip in the jars so ill be able to see how much weight I'm losing during the cure. Can't wait to have the perfect nugs though.

From a tiny little clone to a big plant that produces big frosty buds...........

[NEPharmer]

Awesome job! Congrats, I like the ending too , great shots of all stages.

 

[Perfect Sun LED]

Nice job. I have an idea that might help. Put screens in your pipes right were the water pours out of to add more oxygen to the water that feeds the plants, sort of like the ones in most kitchen sinks.

Have you tried low stress training to get 11+ colas per plant?
