Sunday update, which starts with the final weight on the Chiquita Banana from @Weed Seeds Express! I cut the buds off the branches around midnight last night, and by this morning, two bags had settled at 61% and one at 64%. That's definitely within the margin of hygrometer error.
And the final weight?
272g / 9.6 ounces! I'm happy with that, and at 186 days above ground, that's 1.46g/day. It's much better than I expected with the long slow start.
Thought I'd get a nug shot while they were out:
And here they are back in the bags:
And other than somehow finding out if the drought on Sour G was worth it, this marks the end of the Summer grow, made miserable Spring because of the miserable soil they started in.
On to other news, a friend of ours met a woman in my neighborhood that suffers from fibromyalgia, and so my friend gave me her number to see if I could help out with cannameds. I immediately went to @Amy Gardner's great post here on how she handles her afflictions, which include fibromyalgia.
I texted back and forth with the woman and decided to give her some sublingual oil with a 1:1 blend of CBD and THC at around 6mg each. Amy's recommendation was 3x/day, so that's what I'll recommend. Since I'm making a small test batch, the Magical Butter machine won't work (2 cup min), so I'm doing the jar-in-the-oven method.
I started with 16 grams of decarbed Sour G from October of 2019 (not the new stuff!):
I ground it up, which I don't normally do because the MB does that. It makes it a lot easier to cover the material with less oil, making for a stronger result:
I added 100ml of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO):
That should give me around 12mg/ml THC.
Poured in the jar, which worked out to just cover the flower:
I covered the top with foil, screwed the ring on, and punched a hole in the foil to keep any pressure from building up:
Ready for the oven:
The lowest my oven goes is 170ºF, so that's what I run for 8 hours, shaking every half hour that I'm around. I'll put it in the fridge overnight and run it again tomorrow. Then strain, add liquid sunflower lecithin, leave that in the fridge overnight, and then on Tuesday blend it with the CBD oil.
When I add this THC oil to my 12mg/ml CBD oil, I'll have a blend of 6mg of each.
I hope this helps her out, and I hope your weekend is going well. Happy Halloween all!
Oh, no movement on the Doug's Varin seed so I dropped another yesterday. Nothing on that one either.
Quotes!
But after carrying these plants in and out twice a day for 6 months, I like to get my g/day number as high as possible. And I'm sure the too-long drought cost me some final weight as well.
Thanks BigD!

Thanks BL! Yes indeed, that will be about all I can hope for. I will try to get them to compare the 2-year-old Sour G just for the sake of injecting something vaguely sciencey in the mix.
Thanks HG! All successful harvests are wins.
But after carrying these plants in and out twice a day for 6 months, I like to get my g/day number as high as possible. And I'm sure the too-long drought cost me some final weight as well.Not sure how the tax laws have changed from last year but I think 1.4623655914 is the minimum, so I just made it with the CB. I'll know for sure when TurboTax 2021 comes out next year. Thanks for the reminder!
Not bad at all sb, not bad at all!
I know right? First time I've had two plants come off the lines at their final RH. The hard part will be keeping them from getting damper over the next two weeks.
Thanks BigD!
Congrads on another Good Harvest . Thumbs up for helping out a in pain person . 
for your help along the way.
And no one will be trying them out for another 5 weeks or so, so that's when I'll finally get to hear, "It gets me high"!
Congrats on the new addition!
