my very first grow! a newbie attempt

do not have a final weight yet as im not done trimming everything. BUT after being dried and main branches taken off, the weight with dried leaves is at 4.6lbs. how much more do you think ill lose after all the hand trimming?

if i manage to get over 3lbs final product id be pretty stoked for this first time knowing there is so much more i can improve at.
3 pound is pretty fkn good mate
You should be able to dial that in get maybe 5 pound
 
im back for a second GO!

lots had happened since my last grow where i ran into the dreadful spidermites. I threw a fogger in my rooms and have been taking preventative measures by spraying neem every 7-10 days during veg to fight these Fu#$kers off and so far its holding up. This time around i have two seperate rooms going. One room is Pink Kush and ReCons and the second room is Ice cream cake.
 
Rm 1 i have pink kush and ReCons. pics are week 4 and 6.

We are in the starting of week 8 with these girls. the pinks still havent put on size, but this reCon is pretty plum. Its suppose to be a 6-8 week strain, but looking at the trichs, no amber and still clear/cloudy. i think she still has 1-2 weeks to go?? how quickly can trichs change from cloudy to amber?
trying to gauge when these can come down.

harvest day has come! not sure what happened but the last day when i was suppose to chop it seemed as iff the buds almost lost some density. anyone think of any reason this could happen?

anyways, here are some pics of the crop and some wet trimmed bud.

pics are recon, pink, and purple punch.

Hey there Woo, bit late to party as usual, but think harvest window is about a 7 days+/- so guess you'll usually have 'a few days but possibly as soon as overnight...

Astoundingly brave to go all in on a grow of this scope, hope your previous tutelage is coming in handy.

I'll be following along as i'm still new (first year) and love to see a set up that i'd like to run myself...
Good luck

So generally you'll usually have a few days grace if you check every few days.

definitely a learning experience. hopefully i can continue to improve. welcome to the board and enjoy the follow. will keep plenty of updates in the following weeks.
 
buds have been dried and cured from my first room. will post up some pics in a bit.

but one question, nearing the end of my harvest the buds were rock solid, then 1 day they all seemed to lose a lot of its denseness. anyone have any idea what could of caused this? temps were all still in check, and they were in a flush the last week. cant seem to figure out what might have happened. i did have someone watch over the girls for a day or two as i had to be away, but not sure what could have been the cause of this.
 
bunch of the new girls in room 2 ready to come down
