Holy moley!
I pulled all of the tiny buds (smaller than a quarter) that were remaining on Gorilla and after cleaning it up was another 3oz. Nice! I pinch trimmed it and my fingers are STICKY and stinky. Good stinky. Really good. Got a ball of finger hash the size of a pea. I put those 3 bags into the fridge to dry. Will use for edibles. Should I count that in my total?
Gorilla bones:
This morning I put the first two fridge bags that I harvested on 10/1 and 10/2 (White Widow and Watermelon Kush) into jars to check RH. I left them at room temp for 2 hours and they were 62% and 63% RH. Right on. They will stay in jars at room temp from now on. I won't burp unless RH goes up.
The other jars that I pulled out of the box a few days ago (White Widow and Watermelon Kush) are doing great! I burped first few days but I think I'll only burp them once more in a few days. They smell really good. Spicy. One or two is slightly grassy - I'll burp those.
Gonna chop Mimosa tomorrow and the big girl - SFV OG in the SIP - either Saturday or Sunday.

Mimosa has been looking ready so I checked trichomes - yep lot's of amber.
So today was harvest day.
This plant was a looker in her day. Prettiest plant I've ever grown. I've been giving her only water for about 12 days. I'm still bird-dogging my off-taste issue from last year so I thought I would go with just water last 2 weeks. Yeah her leaves look like crap. I don't smoke leaves. Her buds look wonderful - although some are a little bushy for some reason. A lot of buds almost the size of a tennis ball.
There was a large garden spider hanging out under the netting. After giving him a high five I relocated him to a nearby Hibiscus bush. Did not see any other critters.
I washed using 3 buckets then hung to dry for a few hours. Put about 105 grams into a paper bag into the fridge, the rest went into the Drying Box. Caterpillars got to a few tops but not many. I only got about a 3rd of her down. Looks to be about 3.5 oz. Didn't smell near as good as the Gorilla OG but very sticky. I'll chop the remainder tomorrow.
I'm running out of room!
I pulled a tester nugget off the White Widow on 9/28 (two days before I chopped her). That nugget has been drying / cure since then. Just did 2 bong hits. Oh yeah! Tastes good, hits good.
I usually don't count the wispy popcorn buds, but the nuggets I pulled off the Gorilla were sweet, sticky, and chunky for tiny buds. I'm planning on doing a dry ice hash run soon. I'll take every nugget I can get!

You can also use diluted hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. Sprayed for 3 days usually kills the mold.
Nice
Congrats on the harvest so far-
She came through it remarkably unscathed for an outdoor plant-
those nets of yours really do what they're supposed to!

I chopped another 5z or so today. Still some good buds on her and quite a few popcorn nuggets I can use for edibles.
Tomorrow I'll chop either Critical Kush or the SFV OG in the SIP. Don't think I'll get to both.

The SFV OG in the sip is looking a little rough so I decided to harvest a few colas this morning just to see what I will get. Several buds had caterpillar damage - even tho she has been under a net since start of flower. Damn flying worms.
Here is one cola before trim:
And after:
Buds look way better than I thought they would. Thick and chunky.
Hanging to drip dry after 3 bucket wash. Half will go into fridge bags and rest will go into The Box™ to dry.
Looks to be at least 4 oz from just these 13 huge colas. Did not make a dent on the plant. There's probably another 20 colas at least.
She started flower July 26th = 81 days!!!
This plant has been through a lot. She stopped drinking from the res first week of flower. I had to dance around like crazy to get her drinking from the res again. Finally got her back on track then the weather got weird. Hurricane, earthquake, rainy gloomy July, cold and humid September, and now we are back to hot as hell. Weird weather for sure. She got blown over several times from the wind. Not enough weight in the bucket and she was VERY top heavy. Today is hot - 93˚F - so I only chopped a few colas. I'll chop more in a few days when it's cooler.
Big Thank You! to whoever nominated me for GJOTM. I appreciate it. I'm just here to share my grow experience and have fun. OK mostly to have fun.

Just smoked a fatty (ok part of a fatty) of the recently harvested White Widow. I'm happy with it so far. Not harsh or grassy but definitely needs more cure. Wonderful high. Uplifting euphoria. This right here is what makes trim jail worth the time.
A lovely turn of phrase!
Tunes slipped in too! Gradual harvest style and all begun on 420 Day!
My only question so far is - Have you swum in your pool since 420 Day
I haven’t my own I just realised!

Yes I swam almost every day in the summer. Got too cold for me in September. I had to rescue a plant that tried to go for a swim this year.
So many harvest days, such beautiful harvests! Everything looks terrific upside down. 
You are so right.So many harvest days, such beautiful harvests! Everything looks terrific upside down.

Thanks Shed!So many harvest days, such beautiful harvests! Everything looks terrific upside down.
I am very pleased so far. The plant that got hit the hardest by those damn flying worms was the Watermelon Kush - and I still got 5oz from her.
Thanks Carcass!It's the gift that keeps on giving!
Congrats on the ongoing harvests, GB!
I thought I would be burnt out at this point but I'm not. I'm thinking the last two - Critical Kush and the SFV OG sip - can wait until the weather cools down. Saturday or Sunday.
I have learned from my friends here that you have to be patient. Don't harvest too soon unless you have to / want to. Sometimes at the end the plants look ugly and that is OK.
Totals so far:
White Widow = 6.5oz
Watermelon Kush = 5oz
Gorilla OG sip = 8oz plus another 3oz of popcorn buds for edibles.
Mimosa = 7.5oz plus another 2oz of popcorn buds for edibles.
(I'm now focused on nuggets larger than a ping pong ball - the rest go into the popcorn bin)
SFV OG sip = 5oz so far. Looks to be at least another 12oz left on her.
Critical Kush = tbd
You should see the grin on my face.
(could be from the White Widow I just smoked)
