Just finished harvesting my first plant. I did the quick and dirty trim job. Just ran the clippers down the sides of the buds real quick. That being said it still took me about two hours to trim. I'm sure I will get faster with each plant. The buds were a little more airy than I had first thought. Overall, a good crop all things considered. Given the strain I grew and fact that I use CFLs, I think it was a good yield. I think it looks like two ounces when it will be dried, maybe a little less. Hard to say. Enjoy the pics guys.

Thanks C-Train. I did go over it with trimmers. I see I missed a leaf tip here and there but that doesnt bother me. All my leaves have trichs on them so I figure its all good. Plus I have a realy bad neck and I cant sit over buds for a long period trimming, its just too uncomfortable.

Haha, I dont live in South Africa. I just threw that up so as not to make it easy on any local LEO that might be snooping around these boards.

Thanks Mal. Those arent the best pics of the buds, but I was in a hurry just to finish up. I'm very pleased with yeild. Most of these NL AF yeild about an ounce or less, so I think that my yeild is great. Very happy with it.

Here is my tall plant that has been stood all the way straight up. Its five feet four inches tall now. Funny, once I stood it up and took a good look at it, it almost looks ready to come down. I was able to to take some OK pics of it. Sub cola buds are looking resiny dank and look ready for picking. Not sure when I will harvest. I might do it tomorrow.

She looks like she needs some more time brotha, I still see alot of white hairs on her. I know you can't always go by the hairs but it is a good way to guess when to harvest. Wait till the get mostly amber and begin to pull back into the buds. It is up to you brotha but I would wait a lil while before harvest.

I think your right. It is still sprouting new white hairs and she isnt all the way ready yet. I will give until Wed. and check her again. I hope she will be ready by then. Thanks for the input bro.

Haha, I wish you were coming to smoke out. I would love to hit that cured NL of yours lol. I just tried a popcorn bud that had dried naturally, and the buzz was just ok, small improvement from the quick dry bud I tried. I guess I just gotta wait for the cure to kick in to get some good weed.

Sorry to hear that they dont refund your money on tickets in Japan!

Yeah these fucking Japs over here are stingy with their Yen! I wonder what is up with the popcorn bud? I wonder why it was just ok and not good. I don't expect it to be the bomb one hitter quitter but I sure as hell thought it would be better that "ok". They look frosty as fuck! No worries give it a good cure in some jars in the dark and ripen those bitches up Cryp. I am keeping my fingers crossed for ya brotha! I am sure it will all be good after a good cure.

First plant buds are dry and are now in jars for curing. Overall, I came out with about one quart jar full of bud (thats if I packed it all together in one jar). I'm sure the buds will shrink a little bit more, but for the most part, I think this is the buds overall volume.

Can anyone estimate how much OZs it appears to be? I am guessing 1.5 ounces?

I also jarred my trimmings. I want them to cure for a month then I'm going to make honey oil out of it. I decided to cure the leaves to get the best possible oil.

Took some close up shots of the largest bud. It looks frosty. I hope it will be good smoke after a week or so in the jars. I sure hope I dont have to wait the full four weeks to get that primo NL buzz.
