Got nearly 20 ounces, 566 grams for the more civilized.
Also some volunteer Jack-o-lantern pumpkins, I've had to pick them earlier than I wanted because a ground hog has devoured 6-7 pumpkins already.
I’m waiting for mine to finish exploding and finishing up. My buddy mentioned that they should be full of yellow pollen(?) before collecting? Does your variety just not produce much?
It’s my first year growing and learning as I go.
The yellow Lupulin powder is hidden inside the cones. You can only really see it when you peel the layers back.
It's also my first year. Trust me my hands were yellow and sticky by the time I was finished picking.
What I've read online says you should pick them when they start getting firmer and having a papery feel to them, and outsides start getting sticky from the resin.
You picked them with bare hands?! I wear gloves as the little hairs on the leaves and bines scratch my skin to shreds.
