the last 3 died at about day 45 and never swelled and i got 9 ounces so yeah 8 ounces is lowballing it personally if i can get 2 grams of smoke per day for 160 days thats all i need i will just not be able to give much away even though it was chopped a bit early i dried and cured it well enough that it is smooth smoking and packs a good buzz
