Ok y'all here's the final dry weight...are ya ready for it? 3/4 LB or .56 grams per watt. And lemme tell ya, it's all funk-a-del-ic!
Sorry my camera sucks ball sack but I'm doing the best I can.

View attachment 2537551 On all 4 layers, it holds about 1/2 lb wet....easy drying. Anybody that can't spare $35 for this drying rack is making things harder on themselves.
I just ordered 10 feminized seeds of "AURORA" Indica from Nirvana. The description claims it's their most potent indica so we shall see in the coming months.
A few comments regarding my grow.
A: $150 light bulbs are NOT necessary and are more than likely a waste of money for people with too much cheddar to burn. Why do I say this? First hand experience! I used a $25 hps bulb from htgsupply and I produced funk better than most of anything I've ever seen at a dispensary / collective. This tells me that genetics and attentiveness to your grow are far more important than spending $200 on some stupid ass specialty bulb that you do NOT need.
B: Soil is SUPER easy to grow in compared to other mediums. It is much more forgiving if you don't tend to your garden for days on end as opposed to hydro / NFT / Aeroponics which requires constant monitoring of your automated systems. My soil plant can go a week or more without water before beginning to die...how far will a plant in Aeroponics, hydro, NFT, etc... make it without special attention from the cultivator? Not very far. I like the growth rate of hydro as it is much faster than soil but soil is super duper easy and is very forgiving when you make a little mistake.
C: You do NOT need to buy expensive nutrients. Stay away from advance nutrients like it was the fucking plague...anybody with a horticultural or botany degree would be more than happy to tell you how much AN and companies of their like are nothing but profiteering scam artists who break down every single nutrient into a different bottle they can sell you. I spent less than $50 on nutes and my buds are beautiful, sticky, stinky, compact, heavy, and potent....save your money fellas. I did all this with General hydroponics base nutes + floralicioius plus.
D: I don't know about in hydro systems but flushing is total fucking bullshit in soil. If you simply maintain a rounded feeding regimen and rinse your soil regularly (1x/week), flushing is not necessary. Bad taste of your buds is b/c you are / were too fucking lazy or incompetent to cure them. I have experienced the difference between a dry but and a dry / cured bud....it's like smoking 2 completely different strains. Too many assholes out there get their shit dry and are ready to push it right away instead of doing what needs to be done which is a good solid cure (1 week minimum). Impatience is the red headed ugly step child of growing pot....it will ruin you every time.
