As of 3/14/2024 I've dried and trimmed 2 plants. I have another 4 at various stages of drying and 1 waiting to be chopped down. Since I grew so many plants and I never transplanted them out of the 3-gallon containers I didn't really expect huge yields. I'm mostly just trying to get enough to fill a few 37μ bags for some rosin pressing. Plant # 3 was the smallest and started to crumble, so it went first. It yielded only 38g dry weight, but when pressed I got a 25% return. I also cut down plant #7. It was the next to show the most crumbling leaves. I got a little more 52g from that one. When I pressed it with the same settings as before I got a 23% return. FURTHER TESTING REQUIRED
I'm going to do a little practice cutting together video so the rosin pressing doesn't come out like shit. videos and results coming soon. :sunglasses:
EDIT: final weigh in is at 307g I think plant #7 is the keeper of the group, it had high yields, fruity terps and light-colored rosin. I also recall that it was a slow drinker and was pretty small for a while in veg. I pressed the rest of the plants and got darkish rosin with 19-23% yields. I expected more but that's alright, I'll just have to keep popping seeds.
I could have grown the plants longer in veg, transplanted into larger containers for flower or done more than just defoliating for training and I'm sure my yields would have been much higher. I also had my lights dimmed for a lot of the grow so it wasn't a constant 400w.
