so, this journal has ended.
i ended up harvesting 4thplant on day #73 of 12/12. yielded approx. 4oz.
all together i got approx. 3.5 oz. per plant. not counting trim. (that was used to make brownies yumm)
So about 14 oz. total. idk if that good or not based on my setup. i imagine i could have yielded more, but for my 4th official attempt, i am quite pleased with results.
what i do know is…the smoke is superb! the curing process has gone for about 3 weeks for the most of buds i harvested. so i have been sampling it a bit.
buds are nice and dense. some almost rock hard in center!
signature indica/hash flavor is prominent.
it is a little harsh for my liking, but i think that will smooth out a bit more with more curing. but, who doesnt cough a little when doing bonghit?
the buzz…well, thats tough for me to explain. i smoke a LOT! normally about 2oz./month i consume.
so, being buzzed pretty much 24/7 makes it difficult to determine.
so, i held off for several hours one night, slept a good 8 hours, had nice breakfast and headed home to test it out with a semi-clear head lol.
having smoked for the last 28 years everyday. it doesnt take long for me to know if smoke can “hit” or not.
and if im being 100% honest, im a little disappointed. and i know exactly why. harvested too early!!!
i get a good buzz, thats not the problem. i wouldnt call it weak or bad by any means. but it turns out, i have a preference. and the “body high” that 50% milky trichs provides is NOT my preference. but i had some problems near the end and i just decided to go for it and make the best of it. the fact that its free (kind of) and i havea surplus of it makes up for the type of buzz in some way, but i do feel some regret for not waiting more.
my friend melissa loves it,…shes one of those “smoke to get motivated” people. i cant for the life of me understand their train of thought lol.
so, yeah…in the future 50% amber will be my benchmark. the 4th plant got 2.5 more weeks than other 3, so i have yet to test that out, still curing.
