Skittles Delight Auto

Sat Feb 10 - I harvest the plants . I did 2 by hand trimming to see if there is a difference between doing it by hand or Day 99 by using the bowl trimmer. I hope there is no significant difference because the bowl trimmer saves a crazy amount of time. - I have an official taste tester these kinds of things. - I now have the buds all trimmed up and in the hanging drying racks inside the grow tent. The lights are now off, the one 1 fan is on and the heat is set at 21°C and the humidity is set to 60% - The buds will be there for the next two weeks. Then I will re-weight them and give you the final results Sat Feb 24 - I removed the buds from the drying rack and put them on the scale Day 113 - The results are very predicable with regards to %'age lost from trimming and %'age lost from drying. - Analysis per plant: - Plant 1 - 22.5 inches tall Hand Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 202.37g - Wet, trimmed buds = 194.43g - My trimming took 7.94g off the buds, which is 3.92% - Dry bud = 44.64g - The drying process caused a 77.04% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 47.19g - Biggest bud, dry = 10.77g - Plant 2 - 26 inches tall Hand Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 207.35g - Wet, trimmed buds = 193.73g - My trimming took 13.62g off the buds, which is 6.57% - Dry bud = 44.80g - The drying process caused a 76.88% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 29.08g - Biggest bud, dry = 7.06g - Plant 3 - 30 inches tall Bowl Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 209.36g - Wet, trimmed buds = 201.85g - My trimming took 7.51g off the buds, which is 3.59% - Dry bud = 47.63g - The drying process caused a 76.40% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 27.03g - Biggest bud, dry = 6.41g - Plant 4 - 19.5 inches tall Bowl Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 231.83g - Wet, trimmed buds = 225.65g - My trimming took 6.18g off the buds, which is 2.67% - Dry bud = 49.74g - The drying process caused a 77.96% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 50.76g - Biggest bud, dry = 10.97g - Plant 5 - 22.5 inches tall Bowl Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 182.00g - Wet, trimmed buds = 179.69g - My trimming took 2.31g off the buds, which is 1.27% - Dry bud = 40.45g - The drying process caused a 77.49% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 31.73g - Biggest bud, dry = 7.16g - Plant 6 - 23 inches tall Bowl Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 175.18g - Wet, trimmed buds = 171.43g - My trimming took 3.75g off the buds, which is 2.14% - Dry bud = 38.58g - The drying process caused a 77.50% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 30.61g - Biggest bud, dry = 7.03g - Plant 7 - 22.5 inches tall Bowl Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 205.18g - Wet, trimmed buds = 200.65g - My trimming took 4.53g off the buds, which is 2.21% - Dry bud = 46.44g - The drying process caused a 76.86% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 21.43g - Biggest bud, dry = 4.93g - Plant 8 - 21 inches tall Bowl Trimmed - Wet, un-trimmed buds = 248.39g - Wet, trimmed buds = 241.59g - My trimming took 6.80g off the buds, which is 2.74% - Dry bud = 54.52g - The drying process caused a 77.43% loss - Biggest bud, wet = 31.05g - Biggest bud, dry = 6.96g Total dried weight of buds - 366.80grams so, pretty much 13.1 ounces for 8 plants! - The average grams per plant is 45.85grams per plant - The average grams lost from the drying process is 77.19% - It buds still have that same citrus Skittles aroma, albeit, a lot more mild. The terpenes will further develop during the curing process
