New Grower First Grow - Northern Light Blue

[Renaissance Redneck]

From what I've read drying them straight in the paper bags then curing in the jars will give me the best possible smell and taste so can't wait to smell these in a month lol.

Our RQ northern lights is just staring to hit her stride, Hans. The cure is the final payoff!
Your gal is even prettier with her knickers off! :drool:
Got my slap back, soo.....

Harvest Pics!

Well the moment we've all been waiting for "Bailers Booya"

This grow has greatly exceeded my expectations... couldn't of done it without this site. There's so much good info on here for new growers and the helpful and friendly mods and members make it a great place to share the experience with others.
"AFN smoke out"

Ok I'll let the pictures do the talking now... :smoke:

Here are the pics of them in the paper bags. The bottom of the bags have a layer of plastic grating with the buds on top, think I saw this on another forum.. not sure if there is an actual benefit but I had this stuff laying around anyway. A lot of the buds I left pretty big... I know most people keep them small so they dry quicker and to avoid potential mold issues but since I'll be away for a week I don't want them to get over dry before I'm back. And since my RH is low at around 40% I don't think mold will be an issue and I don't mind waiting a bit longer for them to dry. If anyone thinks I might have problems with anything I'm doing let me know please...

Hey Hansbricks, nice grow. Question for you if you don't mind, wondering where you got the NLB, thinking I might try it out, I'm doing a NL right now, as well as a white widow and cream caramel. I'm just looking to see what other strains are out there and actual grows and reviews as well. Thanks, keep us posted on the final yield and the smoke.

Hey FreeLivin, thanks for checking out my grow. I got the NLB from 'Single Marijuana-seeds Canada' which is actually a UK based company, they ship pretty much anywhere though except the US. You should be able to get Delicious Seeds at pretty much any of the big seed banks though. You won't be disappointed if you grow this... nice strains you got going now, I'll be doing a white widow next grow, is yours a DP ww?

 

[FreeLivin]

Thanks Hansbricks, I actually got mine from Bonza seeds, the shipping was a little much but I was very satisfied with them, however they don't seem to carry the NLB in an auto. I don't know if there's any diff from bank to bank, but my WW is a lil on the small side, and I haven't really looked into too many others just yet. There are a few I def want to try now after seeing so many grows on here, so hopefully I'll find a good bank that has an extended variety. Thanks again.

Awesome!:crap: That main cola is ridiculous. :smokebuds:

 

[Hansbricks]

Just a bit more info for you guys, I pulled some bud out of the bags today to get a good look at the trichs. I'd estimate them to be around 90% cloudy, 5% clear, and 5% amber... so she could of gone longer for sure but I'm more than happy with what I got, I didn't want a couch-lock stone anyway so I think this will be perfect.

Hope everyone has a good Christmas and holidays "Ho..ho..ho..." I'll update next week when I'm back with the final yield numbers.

A Very Merry Christmas Indeed

Hope everyone had a good Xmas and holidays "seasonal12

I returned home tonight to find some delicious smelling buds that have finished drying. The paper bag method does seem to work really well, the smell is amazing already even before curing. I got everything weighed up and into the jars. The RH in the big jar was 68% after a few hours so based on the sticky post I read I'll keep them in the jars and burp for a few hours a couple times a day until under 65%.

Final weight came in at 87g The main cola was 15g alone Hop digity
Very happy with how this first grow turned out... can't wait for round 2

All the popcorn buds are in the 500ml jar, the rest are in the 5L
