Lol ya total newbie mistake.
I basically babied 3 plants when I only needed 1.
I think I got a little excited at the beginning of season if you can't tell lol
I did the same thing my first season....pulled off 6 absolutely huge plants and averaged 3 to 4 lbs per and that's just tops, not including the smaller bottom half stuff.
after that, I only have done 4 plants total each year outdoors...but then I got ripped...last season...
ended up with ziltch...so if you can grow a couple of years worth in one season ...your probably best off to just go for it.

Ya the yeild per tree is ridiculous.
Not done yet so I will give a total weight.
There is bud and buckets everywhere.
KinDa like the movie blow when they can't find any room for the new money coming in.

you will end up looking for strains that are not so, whorey ,with leaf...
I did a Columbian gold strain ... a few years back....grew excellent smoke for sure....but for trimming...all I can say is "whorey"
took day 's and day's and days,, for each plant.
I have found a couple of strains since ...that just don't produce an over abundance of leaf...and I can trim these plants in hours rather than days....
these are my favorite ones for just that reason

I would guess all totaled your trees will do about 7 to 10 lbs per plant ....once completely processed.
just a guess though,,,,I do have a little experience..

going slowly can have a few advantages...

it can allow you to temporarily store more than your max...storage amount...since it is unprocessed and until you have had a chance to go thru your entire crop, to pick the quality meds..., you would not be expected to destroy until you have had time to process dry and sort and grade.
Also buys you time ...to make concentrates, from the bulk meds.... and add that to your storage amount.
this is why I now hang full plants...in a fairly large room, and work away at them slowly over a few months....rather than rushing to get everything jarred as quick as possible.

weird thing this year was....I planted zero plants outdoors ,due to being ripped last fall...
and even with zero effort, 13 plants came up by themselves...from the few seeds that last years crop made.
I was very surprised with the central Ontario climate, that these plants managed to reproduce naturally, here
they worked out to be 7 males(removed) and 6 females.
I did virtually nothing at all to look after these plants,all summer,except to FIM them about 8 times each to ensure they would stay below my fence.
no ferts at all... just a good garden soil...
I did some preemptive info dropping,during a neighbourhood party,this summer and told a guy who I knew would "tell" the low life group around us...
that I had poisoned this crop ,in an attempt to catch and remove the low life who ripped me off,from our environment ...
I told him I had also Installed micro chips, into the stems, so the plants could be tracked as well.(which I actually did. just in case)

Anyways as I had guessed...he was over at the neighbour next door to me,the very next evening
(even though at the party ..he was telling me how much of a bitch and terrible person she is and how he would never hang out with her.)
...to tell her all about my plan...and around 11 pm, I saw him drunk and staggering down her driveway oblivious to the fact I could see him....

Needless to say..other than the ripper walking thru my yard on two occasions this fall...I managed to harvest,without any incidence so far....
because who wants poisoned weed....(like LP weed)???
As a little aside...has anyone heard of a device that can wash out the camera image,as you walk up toward a camera...
on the two occasions I did not get any video of a person ...but more like something moving behind a curtain as if the camera was blocked or blacked out
in the area buddy was walking by in....
but def someone there...

Good idea spreading the rumours of poison weed.
Sucks to have those kind of neighbors.
