Curing and Conclusion
Ok, to conclude, it was a fruitful grow for me, after finally mastering watering (which is so easy makes me feel dumb) It seems that on the way, I forgot I was growing a plant, which has basic needs. Nothing crazy, magical or mystical about the process.
I got my second guesstimate right -> 40g (first guess being 2oz) right after drying and dry trimming (without counting the trim), and the fact that buds are airy and pop-corn like is now verified 100%, although a few buds from the top are quite dense. I would basically be looking at a good yield if I had got the watering right straight from the beginning, and not forgotten about the lights.
The drying process was a bit too fast, but my experience here is even lesser, so I am not counting on experience when saying that, but rather by what I've learned here.
17 days at an average of 48% RH (lows of 42 and highs of 55) at an average temp of 21 C.
A the day I am posting this, curing has been going on since the 11th of this month, so a bit less than three weeks, filled up 2/3 of two jam jars, kept at 61% thanks to Boveda "Terpene Shields". It starts to be an enjoyable smoke, as I like to taste a joint a week to experience the progress of the process of the maturing of the flower. Some of the buds are still a bit fluffy and still stick to each other, so I'll keep it for a further week.
Happy with the progress. Next one should be a mean grow.
The blooming phase lasted forever, and having got bored, I started a little experiment while waiting to chop down Aurora. Nothing amazing at the yield level, but very interesting findings for me. I will publish it very soon and will be called the Bulb Experiment, or a grow with cheap light bulbs
