Chopped on day 78
Combined wet weight was just shy of 600 grams
Stalks were cut at soil level and plants were hung to dry
Temp held between 65-69° with an RH of 55-60
Day 85
7th day hanging and some of the small, bottom stems started getting brittle.
Weigh in showed each plant down to ~28% of the original wet weight
After 8 and a half days these ladies were ready to trim. Ended up with a yield totalling 22% of wet weight.
Final jarred weight and soil medium are noted for each plant

Total 108.8 grams jarred. Plus 24 Grams of trim and lower buds for cannabutter
Smoke report:
Sampled on Halloween after 25 days of curing — despite not having the strongest odor in the jar, once a couple buds went through the grinder, the room filled with a sweet skunky aroma.
Excellent taste, great smell, burns perfectly
Definitely a strong, strong indica. Even the heaviest smokers might need a seat after partaking in this strain
Edible Report:
Sour Crack produced a ridiculously strong butter that made some amazing nighttime treats
Would highly recommend edibles made from this strain to anyone that struggles to get a good night's sleep
Cons:
Available space inside the tent is more like 6.5 square feet than once you get negative pressure and the side walls flex inward. Tent also came with numerous, pin hole sized, light leaks along the corner seams and the zipper.
Air intake port is less than 4" diameter, which is probably adequate for this size tent, but it's a very odd match with the 8" exhaust port on the top of the tent
Cross bars don't fit snuggly around the frame and are highly prone to twisting and floating around
Pros:
Competitive price
Rigid frame
Easy assembly
Plenty of access ports
Highly reflective interior
Final summary
Yield was a little less than hoped for, and the timeline was considerably longer than the breeders estimate, but I learned a lot and certainly enjoyed the simplicity of this water only grow. Going forward I feel like the Sour Crack by Mephisto has provided a terrific baseline for my future grows.
The buds produced have a nice bag appeal, taste great and made some fantastic 'night time edibles'
