I just chopped a few of my plants down yesterday. 2 PPP from Nirvana and one bagseed plant. I still have six more growing in the closet. The biggest colas weighed in at around 23g after trimming. What should this weigh when it gets dried out? About 5-6 grams right? The PPP are amazing. They are completely covered in large trichomes. I can almost make out the tip of a trich with my naked eye, and my vision is failing me. They both carry a heavy nauseating rotten fruit smell, and one released a sharp minty pine smell when I was trimming it up. Really looking forward to the first inhale.

Yea man you should expect to lose about 75% if its dried and cured properly. Commercial growers don't do that because they are going for the weight.

I don't know bout anyone else but I don't like smoking wet bud just doesn't get me high and I think it's a waste. I'll gladly smoke one fat bowl of properly dried herb over 2 or 3 bowls of wet uncured bud.

I think the biggest cola I ever had weighed 10g's dry and I was one happy cat, but budz is right a few 5-6g colas will add up real quick.

nah i moved the plants up but ya same thing light is fixed on the top putting in another shelf with 250w hps once i get the funds hopefully before next run or might just wait until 4 weeks in then do the other shelf and harvest once a month that would be better but during the summer i will not be doing indoor grows only keeping mothers as it is hot and outside light is free i prob will stop the cab around april cut clones root them veg for a month to month and a half then go outdoors with them might do indoors once the outdoor stuff is done but im fairly busy in the summer so who knows

I really like this strain, The stretch wasn't too bad flowered at 12" now she is 30" she should be down around 63-67 days that is what DNA told me on FB, she is sooo delicious smelling one of the nicest strains I've had in my garden. Dna Genetics always treat me right, never had a male or any problems

Well Im sorry you couldn't see how they came out, the pics were online, but have been removed or dissappeared, maybe putting more than a few pics on doesn't work well, shame I have no copy's. Its a good thing to see the 250club popular again!
