The weights are in...
My apologies for the delay is posts. Life gets pretty busy sometimes. Anyway, all 6 plants that I harvested are chopped, dried, and trimmed. I'll try to update this journal with nug photos when I submit my entries for the December 420 contests.
Papaya #1 and #2 (combined): 113g + 55g trim = 168g total
Animal Cookies: 34g + 36g trim = 70g total
Flo: 28g + 43g trim = 71g total
Maui: 26g + 30g = 56g total
Mystery Seed #3: 46g + 33g trim = 79g total
Total nug weight: 247g or 8.7oz
Total weight of trim: 197g
Total weight of dried plants: 444g or 15.6oz
These numbers didn't impress me, to say the least, but it wasn't a total failure. The Papayas did alright in terms of nug density and size averaging about 2oz per plant; everything else, however, only averaged about an ounce per plant with mostly small to medium sized nugs with lots of stems.
In retrospect, I could've done a few things differently that would've increased yield:
1. Let the plants veg a week or two longer. Because I flipped the plants a week after transplanting into their 7-gal containers, they didn't have enough time to fill the pot with a thick grid of roots before devoting their energy to budding.
2. Utilize a wet/dry cycle to my advantage. Because I used a SWICK, I feel the roots weren't encouraged to branch out like they might have had I let the soil dry out between waterings.
3. Done a better job at trimming and defoliating. My laziness led to lots of popcorn nugs that I ended up crushing into trim because I was sick of trimming nugs that I would have a hard time selling at the shop.
In conclusion, I will do a much better job next time of following Doc Bud's instructions all the way through the plants life. If you have questions about my methods or my set-up, let me know. Otherwise, I'll see y'all in a week or so when I return with photographic proof. Until then, may the brix be with you.

New Journal!!!
In case y'all were interested, I'm starting a new journal to showcase my perpetual grow. With luck, it won't get moved to the "dead journal cemetery" because of my inactivity. Anyway, follow this link to the place where you want to be: Growing With MysterySeeds - To Infinity & Beyond!
Good day and good luck!
