Here's some weights I promised earlier.
Bag dried everything around 5-8 days before jarring, except the Muay Thai was hung in branches for 4 days before bagging.
Copacabana in at 198g, she's still curing down from 62% rh to actual desired smoking dryness, maybe 190g or so at the end.
I estimate I threw out 30-40% due to caterpillar damage and a tiny bit of rot so was around 10+ potential ounces on the vine.
It's disappointing to throw buds away but I felt the earlier harvest was a little too energetic for me--I'm quite happier with less bud but a more mature high in this case.
The Thai actually smoked really well with early testers. Even the finished buds still look immature in terms of pistil color, there are a few tops with 80+% brown pistils but much of the plant is 50/50 brown and white pistils. If you handed it to me I would probably chuckle a little it just looks like a fail, definitely a miss on bag appeal but the potency is in there my brothers!
Muay Thai is coming in as the champion at 250g, and she did that in a 3 gallon pot. She might still sweat down to 240g, but it's quite a haul! I'm sure with proper treatment and a larger pot she can blow past this mark.
I did previously discard some bits that may have been affected by rot but it was pretty minimal, maybe 20g or so.
I really like Muay Thai for her forgiveness with the grow conditions. Her smoke is my fave this round--and that's not to take anything away from the other strains but I think she's really a great sativa and is one I want to grow again.
I've got plenty of jars here now, enough I will donate a fair amount to a couple patients who can use it. I think another patient can help me out with some more indica smoke so I can end up with a balanced supply of meds.
The cured smell (Love Potion) and curing smell of Devil Cream are really nice at this point, I feel I lost some flavor though in terms of how they smoke. They're not harsh at all, the smell is there, but the flavor leaves something to be desired. I assume I messed up a little with the nutes. Perhaps the Hula Bloom is to blame, I dunno. Now that I see I can grow a decent sized auto I'm going to try some different nutes, probably try organics, and see if by avoiding any boosters I can get a tastier bowl at the end. There's certainly room for improvement and that keeps the hobby interesting....
