Taking a break from trimming .... man it is a lot of work:wall::wall::wall::wall:. Hope to have the numbers by tonight. It looks Like the summer heat may be taking a toll on the weight as I expected.
 
I put in 8 hours today and got about 2/3 done @ 524g. The nugs are beautiful but light. They are firm and not airy. I believe they will come out of the cure even a little tighter.

I am a reformed tobacco addict so I don't smoke anything. I just find the whole inhaling burning shyte disgusting. I do however vape and eat my meds. I wait a minimum of two weeks before I sample the goods so two weeks from today I will sample. I also have some friends that are happy to smoke my weed - imagine that! I will get a smoke report from them.

I just got it all into jars for curing today. The yield was 728g or less than 1gpw. I don't usually get my best weights in the summer and this grow was no exception. The buds are very nice and the smell is a little on the spicy - peppery side. The aroma may change some with the cure.

Here is a typical jar of buds:

On another note, I made some vape juice out of my first rosin from last grow's Green Crack & EJmix :hippy:
The flavor is a little off but that could be the clearomizer I am using. Typing this is an effort :doc1:.
 
Ok lets sum this up:

The new hydro method was easy enough after I got the hang of it. I am not sure the yield (.97gpw 400 g/ m2) would match if I had used DWC for these same plants but there are just way too many variables to pinpoint one of them as the biggest factor. I like rockwool cubes and will be using the method for the foreseeable future. The nutrient usage is very little compared to other methods I have used at ~35%. It is an easy method to keep clean and restart the next grow. The materials are light and easy on my bad back.

I did not have any major problems with the House & Garden products in this grow but I have had one since with a 4.4 low PH in another run. I am considering going back to Dyna-Gro. I want to finish my current grow to see if there are any perceivable qualities in the finished product to warrant the higher price and potential PH problem.

I do not smoke bud yet I have it on good authority that the weed has good flavor and better than average stone. I have pressed rosin from it , (medium in color and medium in yield) then mixed with Puff Magic for use in a vape. I taste the Puff Magic over the rosin so a flavor profile is well - woody, chemically. It gives me an up high that creeps, then mellows slowly to a relaxed body buzz. No couch lock. Pain relief is good. I have some bubblegum terpenes ordered. Maybe it can overpower the Puff Magic. Some of my friends really like the 'FAKE' flavors and who knows maybe I will also.

This was a summer grow. Yields here in the summer are reduced by fluffier buds.

I would recommend this strain - Dr. Krippling's The Incredible Bulk.
