So.... I harvested the mature short rider!! I did it in two parts because the main cola was so close to the light. Plus I thought I'd see what kind of trichome mix I enjoyed.
First Harvest: 2/18/15 | Day 67
Wet Weight: 122g
Dry Weight: 23 g
Smoke: Clear, energetic high. I'm just now trying it out, and it's fantastic.
I wish I had waited a bit longer because I think that the nugs could have fattened up more and avoided less water loss. But... I do have the second harvest!
Second Harvest: 2/27/15 | Day 76
Wet Weight: 244 g
Estimated Dry Weight at 80% Water Loss: 49 g
I kept flushing until most of the leaves had yellowed and begun to die off.
Total (Estimated) Dry Weight from Short Rider 1: 72 grams (2.6 oz)
This first grow was absolutely amazing! I have another Short Rider coming up (about 3 weeks left) that was initially stunted, but now it is HUGE. Hopefully I'll pull 3+ ounces!
And now some pics:
