Beautiful! Now just put a good cure on that and you will be loving life. Well Done

Curing as we speak.
Citrus/tropical smell seems to be getting stringer.
Buds are compacting nicely (was initially worried about them being too airy, but it seems that just the mass in the jars is compacting them nicely.

They will tighten quite a bit at 62% humidity and then if You were to go commercial with them dry them down to 58% and they get even tighter. I find 62% best for making rosin which is my principal use.

Personal use only here.
I may go a touch lower than 62% as they still feel a touch 'damp', but that is probably due to the fact that prior to this I have only had stuff from dealers.

If you do not have a hygrometer in your curing jars you should get some. It is really easy to get mold if you get over 70%. These are really cheap on EBay or Amazon.

I already have hygrometers in them, but thanks for the heads up.
There are also a few Boveda 62% packs in each jar.

boveda make packs in all sorts of % not just the 62% the cigar smokers like the 58% i think.
good luck in finding your sweet spot.

Yesterday, I harvested (most) of my first grow.


Decided these trichs showed she was ready enough to harvest:

First side branch before and after trimming:

The first dried bud - was taken down a few days earlier as a tester.
Normal dry and now ready for curing:

I think I can call this first attempt at growing a success

Beautiful buds! Nice job!

I am most definitely enjoying it.
A friend who only grows Photos came round a few days ago for a look-see (he grew a few Autos a LONG time ago and thought they were pretty rubbish).
He was blown away by the plant (in case I didnt mention, I had 2 of these. The second one was harvested a few days ago).
Couldn't believe it was an Auto grown under Blurples.
Then he had a smoke and it floored him.
I think I may have made a convert...
