New Grower First Grow Feminized Blue Mystic AF

[pyewacket]

Thanks Qranc, I made a bunch of mistakes...thankfully the AF plant can take a beating. I will say this again, us new growers can get out of almost any jam by being active reading/asking questions on these forums.

I will add that I made my wife some chocolates this evening out of the coconut oil that I used to clean my metal bowl. I used under 1/2 teaspoon per chocolate square. It is producing a couch lock for her...so that is some very strong coconut oil...even as diluted as it is! Out of that 1/2 cup should be about 50+ chocolate squares. She is a light weight...I am going to cut things back for her....she only needs to take off the stress...she suffers from panic attacks. This is SOOO much better than xanax...and the other crap they would have her on. Her mood lightens up. I know her stress hormones are lower now...and that could be a life saver for her.

Ok, well it is evident that we over did things last night. She should have consumed 1/4 of what she did. It knocked her out and she was in sleepy land about 1hour after she ingested. She is still feeling some residual 20 hours after ingesting. We are new to consumables and new to THC oil. I can safely say that I have never been around anything like this stuff. I have done some hash when I was younger but nothing like this. I am going to take the remaining chocolates and cut each into 4s...that is 20chocolates left with plenty of coconut oil to make more. This still leaves the actual THC oil...that to be frank...I am a bit intimidated by . I will have to weigh it and take it nice and slow...

My wife has incredibly sensitive lungs; smoking bud is out for her. I hope that she will be able to tolerated vaporizing the oil...as I think this is a better method for her to medicate.

Thought I would post a photo of my regular Northern Lights. She was started with my Autos and vegged along side of them for the duration of their grow. Once the mystics were done, I switch to 12/12 and she began to pre-flower in about a week. She has been 12/12 for a few weeks now and looks pretty good. I wanted some experience topping, so a couple months ago I did it once. Of course I would have liked to top early on and do some LST, but I did not have the room with the autos. Nevertheless, she looks like she has two nice top colas going because of the delayed topping. I also started my fermenters again to pump in some CO2 through the rest of her flowering. She is taking up a lot of the grow room...

Woohoo, my seeds came in. I ordered the bulk pack from Original SSC and received 50 Northern Lights X Big Bud Auto seeds. I also received 8 bonus Pakistan Ryder AF seeds. These are both from World of Seeds. I am crazy excited about getting started. I have to wait until my Photo is done...but I have everything ready to go for the Autos. If any of you folks have grown these strains and would like to give me some insight about various aspects of these...It would be much appreciated.

Made our first tincture out of this oil. Sub-lingual glycerine drops. They turned out great. My wife put one drop under her tongue for a pleasant edge of her crazy day; She feels the effects at about 12minutes. We are very light users, so I would guess heavy users would take many times more.

Simple recipe really. 1 gram of this oil + 1/2 cup of 95.5% alcohol.....dissolve the oil in the alcohol over low heat. Stir until the oil has dissolved...takes only a few minutes. Add 1/2 cup of vegetable glycerin and keep reducing until you have just over 1/2 cup of solution left. Add 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract.

After, we put the solution into a mason jar. Gave it several good/hard shakes throughout the day. Was ready to go the next day.

Ok, this grow is complete. I harvested my Northern Lights today. I haven't weighed yet...but it look like she did well. I didn't treat her as well as I could have. I would have done things different (she was a photo plant) if I grew her separate from my autos; I would have been able to LST...maybe scrog her. I will dry the heck out of her as she will be processed into ETHO oil as soon bone dry. Here are some photos"


She wasn't nearly as stinking as my autos were when she was growing. But, when I harvested...all I can say is wow...I hope my house will recover!





Filled up my drying area. I have to do some editing on my DIY project. I will add some photos of the way I ETOH process this plant. The buds are heavy and were severely bending their branches...I had to tie up the bigger bud branches toward the end of the grow. I hope that translates into a lot of THC oil.
