Highest Cut First Grow

[CosmoGrows]

Wow, that was a quick grow. i felt like it was just yesterday you were just in the beginning of veg.


Now, you can keep a nugget, and send the rest to me for testing. ;D

Lol, jokes, good job man.

When I was younger every grow seemed to take forever, now it's "That's done already?!?!"

I'll give you a report of the smoke ;)

@Formallyhap I was just looking at the pics of the trichs again and i see the amber you saw... Thanks for the heads up. Don't want couch-lock bud.

 

[Formallyhap]

you get a feel for it, they all used to look the same to me and it was super frustrating.

The biggest cola from the plant is weighing in 2.2 oz WET. I am going to update the weight daily to understand the drying.

 

[Formallyhap]

5 grams ish dry is my guess. What's your humidity?

Not letting it dry out too fast is important.

It is 65g right now, if it loses 80% of the weight as water then dry it should be 13-15g; close to 1/2 ounce

91% humidity outside today. It is showing 70% RH inside my tent. I just turned on the dehumidifier to bring it down some

Losing water weight fast! Without having weighed this bud, I wouldn’t have thought it changed much from yesterday. Still feels wet and little difference in weight just holding it.

The scale says different! Already lost almost 1 oz of water

Nice work! I'll guess 7 grams

 

[HighestCut]

The first time i weighed it (which was about 15 hours after chop) was 65g, now almost 48 hours after chop it is 40g.

Reading online it seems the weight loss from water is about 75-80%

I'm gonna stick with 13g for my guess :)

 

[HighestCut]

Here is the drying update for today, at 6PM it will be 3 days since chop, so this weight measurement is just a little shy of 3 days

1.1 oz or 31g

I am glad I am measuring this daily... I must have dropped the humidity to fast 70% to 50% in one day. Starting to smell like hay, so i added some moist hand towels to the tent...

Day 4 of drying, weight of this cola has dropped below an ounce so switching to grams.

We are now at 23 grams

I put together a chart following the water loss. The daily timing of my measurements has not been exact, AND I did not weight it as soon as i cut it. First measurement was 16 hours after cut, so i extrapolated.

Day	Weight (g)	Daily Change (%)	Total Change
Cut	77	*extrapolated	70%
1	65	-
2	40	38%
3	31	23%
4	23	26%
5
6
7

Total weight loss from water so far is 70%, so I think this is close to final dry weight. I haven't seen any reports of more than 80% weight loss from dry. Also, i wet trimmed because of the high humidity where I live, so there should not be much weight loss from final trim either.

In researching this I came across an article saying that authorities try to use wet weight to charge people and they have brought in expert witnesses to explain the formula for final dry weight and normally in court cases they use 75-80% loss from wet weight to get final dry weight

Dude. I like this. I'm interested. Please keep updating. This is going to help me predict my final dry weight off my plants I just harvested. I've always been curious. It's cool to see you taking the time to do the experiment for us.

Your next weight I'm going to guess is going to be 15gs tomorrow. It looks like it's starting to lose less weight per day, obviously cuz less water in there to dry..

It'll end up eh, 12gs. My guess!

Bud loses 75%

shrooms lose 90%

That's a beautiful Bud, very nice! I was way off with my guess

After final trim and everything, just the main bud section may be close to your guess. We will find out :)

It is also interesting to see the change as it dries from the photos
