Thanks, CP! I am far from a master, but was a teacher so helping people learn while I am learning makes us all better growers. I know legalization is around the corner; I just wish it had happened 40 years ago
Thanks again for the Kudos!

Hozona, you taught professionally? As a trained educator myself that tidbit of info caught my attention.

I have a MS in Secondary Education and have taught at both High School and College levels (Art) before I retired. I miss the College level much more than the High School because College level Art students are more responsible for their learning. Although when that light goes on in High School, it can be amazing!!

My degree was a BSED, Elem. with certification in Early Childhood. Although I never taught in a system I did homeschool my own and used the degree to work as a tutor for OVR. The training came in real handy working with adults during the 10 years we had a tattoo studio. I also ran the only tattoo studio that allowed you to bring the kids. We had toys, and I was known to carry babies while moms got tattooed.

Hey all! 18 hours of trimming can really but a dent in your weekend! Still have this much scissor hash even after vaping myself to oblivion with it. Numbers tomorrow! Some interesting findings. Have a great rest of weekend!

 

[Hozona]

Hey Shiggs! Are we having fun, or what?!
Looking forward to your findings! Have a great week-end!

 

[ShiggityFlip]

Whew, that was an epic trim session! Exhausted but happy and had some interesting results! This is a way better turnout than my first time through with these strains. I mixed the Hk11 and HK11 high brix by accident but both were excellent smoke so no worries. High Brix did better in complexity of flavor, strength and yield. I have never been a yield farmer and will do nothing that would sacrifice trichomes for weight so getting 48.9oz is just flooring me! Very happy at this quality level. It was interesting that though the nugs weren't as thick , because they were so tall the HK3 HB outyielded the HK8HB. I will be less reserved about growing HK3 in the future as it seems it can produce some good weight per plant! These numbers also don't include the chem X4 and X8 that I haven't trimmed yet so add about 5-6oz to the total. You can see why I am jumping for joy!

Agent Orange 178.39g
Agent Orange High Brix 213.84g

X4 High Brix 155.22g

HK3 High Brix 173.27g

HK8 141.99g
HK8 High Brix 168.24g

HK11 (mixed) 347.64g (173.82 average)

total 1370.59g
ave 171.25g/plant
wattage 260x4(LED)+600hps+600hps+0Aircon=2240watts

1730.59/2240=.61g/watt/60days flower

Nice haul, bro!

 

[Stage]

Sweet looking sugar flower collection.
My concerns of yield in hb are now alleviated.
Thank u bruh.

 

[ShiggityFlip]

I agree stage. I haven't counted in the two early harvest plants. And if everything was all HB I would have been hitting 3.75-4lb.

I knew it would be HUGE! Any time you get close to a gram/per watt you are doing it right!

Thanks Hoz! What really amazes me is the consistency of the yield per plant. Yes AO was more but they were much bigger in the end.

With that kind of trich load, it had to be a heavy harvest.

I just recently figured out how THC can possibly be 20% or more of the entire bud matter. It's 'cause the leaves and calyxes are covered with a coating of trichs that's far bigger and thicker than the leaf/calyx itself. The density of the trichs is literally the difference in weight.

Awesome pull, always a fun time post harvest. Looks great, Shigg.
