First grow finished - Dried and Cured Buds and Stash - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Currently curing my first grow! Had 2 girls, both Nirvana NLxShiva.

I have one of them currently jar'd up, and one of them waiting for me to buy a jar

The smoke is very sweet, and gives you a nice gentle high that creeps up on you them, wham, you are stoned

Made some space cake with the lower buds and trim, and i dont think i've been that stoned since my first year at uni

I was quite suprised how much the buds shrank when i dried them, but some of them are still pretty beefy. I had to chop up my main colas to fit them in the jar :(

Pics are abit blurrey unfortunatly, because i just have a cheap digicamera, so i cant get up close budshots...

Anyway, heres the shots:

Heres the 2 girls they came from:

how much did you harvest in total? How long was the veg? How many watts was your light?

Looking good man..

congrats on your first harvest

cant wait til my first one is done (about 2 weeks)

how'd you find the whole manicuring process? what u expected? more tedious then u expected?

that reminds me, i have to go buy some fiskars today..

happy smoking

The manicuring was abit annoying, but it only took anout half an hour for each plant, i didnt trim them down too close to the bud as alot of the leaves had tricomes on them.

They were grown under 250w HPS start to finish, vegged for 1 month, and flowered for 8 weeks. Could of probably done with another week or so of flowering to be honest...

how much did you harvest?

mrjim5000 · 03-30-2006, 04:08 AM

I only germinated 4 plants, and got 2 girls. They were grown with AD nutes. Tbh, i didnt really measure the nutes or water, i just mixed some in with 2L of water in a cider bottle and poured it on.

The cure is really making a difference, i'm smoking it as i cure it, and i can definatly notice the odour and sweetness changing. one of the jars stank horribly for ages, but is getting nice now...

The plants didnt smell at all when growing. I chose a low odour strain, but wish i had chosen something with at least some nice skunky smell
