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:

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...

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

Got a decent camera for the weekend, so i thought id put up my final pictures from my first grow.

These are the buds from my 2 girls (minus 3 batches of cannabutter, and a fair bit of smoking), after 2 weeks of curing....

The smoke is sweet, it leaves a bubblegummy flavour in the back of your mouth, and the smell is getting nicer and more skunky by the day...

I've just germed my next grow (another 4 nl x shiva seeds), which will hopefully be even better with everything i've learnt from this grow.

Just a final thing; Smoking your own is amazing. Peace.

Were you growing those beside your bed? Now thats a thing to wake up to, nice harvest from two plants though it looks like you should have gotten more, unless you smoked some before you posted.
