I got 72 grammes (2.5 Oz) dry weight
I'm down a few quid on this but the majority of the gear can be used again on the next grow. All the nutes, lights, everything is still in pretty good condition and/or plenty left.
Also I bought a few things like Perlite and Mychorrizae which I never used in this grow.
Smoke Report:
The stone lasts for around 2 hours and 25 minutes and has three stages to it:
Stage One:
Kicks in after i've had 4 or 5 puffs of the joint; I an lifted up and slightly warmed throughout. I have energy; in these next 30 to 40 minutes i'll put a wash on, hoover the floor and do the dishes. If i have other things to do i'll usually get straight on those. Whilst performing these menial tasks, other things will go through my mind and time will pass more quickly.
Stage Two:
At around an hour in I'm much more relaxed now, I'm only able to focus on one activity; i will think about other activities and ponder doing them but there's about a 50% chance i won't get up, or, i'll get up, go to the place where i'd pland to do something and forget what i was going to do (and wonder) or forget (and do something totally different). Climbing stairs feels arduous. Time passes by much more quickly now. I could lie down and sleep.
Stage Three
After about an hour and 45 I start to come back; I get a burst of energy and don't die climbing up the stairs, time passes more slowly now, I get hungry at this point.
The flavour is not lemony. It's quite harsh for several reasons. but it does the job well.
I want to say thanks to everyone who pitched in.
